Honey rocks are what other people call muskmelons or cantaloupes. An excellent variety of honey rock was produced by the Ferry-Morse Seed Company which used to have a huge farm just south of Rochester. The place was swept up in suburban sprawl after World War II and the company moved to Kentucky. Dexter Ferry, Jr., contributed the land that is now Ferry Field, adjacent to Schembechler Hall at U-M. Honey rocks done been good to us.
