DANVER’S.—-A half long orange carrot,

ductiveness and adaptability to all classes

suitable for field culture. The tops are 
of medium size. The mature roots are of 
medium length, six to eight inches long, 
tapering uniformly to a blunt point. The 
flesh is deep orange, tender and of good 
quality: Although the roots of this 
variety at maturity are comparatively 
short they often produce as large a bulk 
as the longer field sorts and are more 
easily harvested. Has become a leading
