 Danvers, tapering abruptly with pointed 

 roots, often called Pointed Danvers. The 

 root measures 10 to 12 inches in length, 

 is very broad at the shoulder, tapers 

 evenly to the small tap root. It grows 

 smoothly and is sweet and tender, free 

 from coarseness even at maturity. Its 

 color is a rich reddish orange. For 

 market gardeners its beautiful appearance 

 makes it a rapid seller on the market 

 stalls. As a table carrot it is unsur- 

 passed, while as a field carrot its immense 

 yield makes it extremely valuable.

 light soil.
