No. 158. Improved Long Or- 

 ange. Days to Maturity, 78. A 

 selection made from the original 

 Long Orange by Mr. Robert Nich- 

 ols, a Philadelphia market gardener. 

 Introduced as Improved Long Or- 

 ange by Johnson & Stokes in 1889. 

 The strain is slightly earlier than 

 either Danvers Half -Long or the old 

 Long Orange type. The color is a 

 deep golden yellow, even in the 

 early stages of its growth, shading 

 to a deep orange red when fully 

 grown. The surface of the root is 

 very smooth over its entire length, 

 which will average over seven inches. 

 This variety is particularly recom- 

 mended for hght, well-tilled soih 

 and care should be taken to prepare 

 the ground deeper than for any of 

 the other varieties that we offer.

DANVERS HALF LONG (x 2/3) 



No. 156. Oxheart or Guerande. Days to Maturity, 80. A variety intro- 

 duced by Vilmorin, of Paris. Listed as Guerande by Ferry in 1885, and by Johnson 

 & Stokes as Oxheart or Guerande in 1889. Apparently it was known under both 

 names in France. The tops of this carrot are comparatively small. The roots 

 will attain a length of about three and one-half inches, and at the thickest point 

 will average at least three inches in diameter. It is a very desirable variety for 

 tard, stiff soils, because of the ease with which it may be harvested. The flesh is a deep orange and of splendid 

 quality when pulled during the earlier stages of growth. Oxheart is often grown for stock purposes, and will 

 produce perhaps more tons to the acre than any variety we now list.
