CURRIE’§ MILWAUKEE MARKET—In shape, color and 
general appearance this sort is an improvement on the 
well-known Danvers. It is broad at the neck and grad- 
ually narrows down to a blunt, pointer base. In color 
it is an attractive bright orange. The flesh is tender and 
sweet throughout, and is almost entirely free from core. 
It is one of the heaviest croppers and its handsome ap- 
pearance makes it an excellent bunching Carrot for market.
