Henderson's CORELESS Carrot. 



The Finest Early Table Variety Grown. 

 Handsome, Meltingly Tender and Sweet. 



This Carrot, recently introduced by us, has proven one of 

 the most universally popular varieties ever sent out. People 

 who never liked carrots before are delighted with the melting 

 tenderness and sweet, mild flavor of Henderson's Coreless. 



It is a half-long cylindrical Carrot, blunt pointed, with a 

 small tap-root and small top. They run very uniform in 

 shape and size, 6 to 7 inches long, by 1J^ inches through ; 

 clean skinned, smooth, easily pulled and keep well. The flesh 

 is of fine texture, entirely devoid of stringiness, coarseness 

 and woody heart or core. The color of the flesh is the rich 

 red-orange so attractive when served. Henderson's Coreless 

 excels all other half-long carrots in earliness without being 

 inferior to them in productiveness. {See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. \i lb., $1.50 lb. 



Henderson's 



Selected 

 Half' long 



Danvers Carrot. 



A handsome half-long, cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot of 

 good size and of a rich, dark orange color; it grows to a large 

 size-, is smooth, and the flesh very close in texture, with very 

 little core and a small, tapering tap-root. It is a first-class 

 Carrot for all soils ; under good cultivation it has yielded 25 

 to 30 tons per acre, with the smallest length of root of any 

 now grown, and is more easily harvested than the longer 

 types. Our selected stock gives the best of satisfaction. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. }£ lb., $1.25 lb. 



"Your select strain of Danvers Carrot cannot be beaten, and I think it one 

 of the best carrots in existence ; fine shape, fine color, fine quality and fine 

 yield." &■ L. PAYNE, Cold Spring, N. Y.

blunt-rooted type, but differs from a 

 greater girth, bulk and consequent yield. It 

 averages 6 to 7 inches in length, is broad at 

 the neck, narrowing gradually to the round, 

 blunt base, therefore is easily harvested. The 

 flesh, entirely free from core, is of rich orange- 

 red and of the finest table quality, fine-grained, 

 tender, juicy and delicately flavored. Price,

Henderson's Intermediate Carrot. 



A large and handsome main-crop variety, 

 sometimes called the ''Pointed Danvers." It is 

 the connecting link between half-long and long 

 carrots, with a yielding capacity in deep soils 

 equal to any of the longs. The root, 10 or 12 

 inches in length, is very broad at the neck, 2 

 to 3 inches through, and tapers evenly to the 

 small tap-root. It grows smoothly and uni- 

 formly and combines with its other merits rich 

 reddish-orange flesh, tender, sweet and entirely 

 free from woody coarseness even at maturity. 



As a table carrot it is unsurpassed ; for 

 truckers its fine color and appearance renders 

 it salable, while as a field carrot its great 

 yield makes it valuable. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. 

 oz., 35c. M lb-. $ 1 - 1 lb. 



"Today I have been digging some of your Intermediate 

 Carrots, and they were the finest lot I ever sav> ; they aver- 

 aged so uniform and large." E. J. WEST, Oberlin, Ohio.
