core. It is a first-class Carrot for all soils, and has yielded 25 
to 30 tons per acre, with the smallest length of root of any now 
grown. It is more easily harvested than the longer types,

This new variety is an improved, more slender, coreless type of 
Danvers with shorter tops. The roots are 6 to 7 inches long, 
about 2 inches in diameter at the shoulder and taper to a blunt 
tip. The skin is smooth, and of an excellent deep color. The flesh 
is reddish orange, tender, and of splendid flavor. The core is small 
and of the same color as the flesh.

309 RED CORE CHANTENAY 
We feel confident that the popularity of this strain will outrival 
that of the old Chantenay, because in this type, the core has 
been practically bred out. The color is also deeper and richer 
which gives the beautifully-shaped roots an even more attrac- 
tive appearance. In all other respects it possesses the fine 
qualities of its parent, Chantenay. 
Price, pkt.. 10c; oz., 65c; l 4 lb., $2.00.
