CARROTS 
150 Tendersweets 
The sweetest and most tender carrot (75 days) 
The carrot with the sweetest flavor. It is attractive, fine in 
texture, practically coreless, and an exceptionally heavy yielder. 
The orange-red roots, when fully grown, are 8 to 10 in. long, 
tapering from the shoulder to a rather blunt end. The flesh is 
very deep orange, sweet, tender, and brittle. Closely resembles 
Imperator. This carrot type is distinct from the other popular 
kinds, and is steadily gaining new friends.

core; the beautifully pure orange-scarlet flesh extends right 
through. Pkt. 10¢; 1 oz. 35¢; oz. 55¢; 4 Ib. $1.95. 
157 Red-Cored Chantenay 
Evenly colored reddish orange roots (70 days)

cially selected for its fine reddish orange color.

same color as the outer portion of the root. 
Length, 5 to 5% in. and 2% in. in diameter at

of extremely high quality.

145 Maule’s Golden Red & 
Half-long, stump-rooted, outstanding variety (75 days) 
Seven to 8 in. long, 2 to 2% in. thick at the shoulder; smooth and 
uniform, fine-grained, sweet, tender, and never becomes stringy or 
shows rings. Skin is bright orange; flesh is deep orange with a 
lighter colored tender core. Highly recommended for winter 
keeping, and for market gardeners who wish a quality half-long, 
stump-rooted carrot somewhat deeper in color than Danvers and 
heavier in yield. When Mr. Maule brought this carrot back with 
him from France in 1900, he performed a lasting service to 
American gardeners. There was an immediate public appreciation 
of the strain, and now the popularity of the variety has grown to 
be really tremendous. Each year’s sales exceed the previous 
record. If you are not already a Golden Rod grower, why not 
‘compare it with your favorite variety this year?
