CARROT 



No. 10. Chantenay 



The all-purpose Carrot 



Days to maturity, 70. This French variety was introduced by Vilmorin Andrieux & Cie., 

 of Paris. They named it in honor of the French town of Chantenay. It was first listed in this 

 country by Ferry in 1889, and after 45 years still holds a place of great importance in the 

 vegetable industry of the United States. It is much used in the home and market garden and 

 as a bunched Carrot for shipment, although the trend of late years has been toward a longer 

 type. Chantenay will average inches in length and 2% inches thick at the top. It is stump- 

 rooted. Color of the flesh is a deep orange.

No. 1 1 . Red-cored Chantenay 



Flesh and core reddish orange 



Days to maturity, 70. Introduced by D. M. Ferry & Co., in 1931. This is a distinct 

 improvement over the well-known Chantenay, especially in color, texture, and quality of 

 flesh. It has been accepted with much enthusiasm, particularly by shippers of fresh vegetables 

 and by canners. Roots deep reddish orange, 53^ inches 

 long, 234 inches thick at the shoulder, tapered, stump- 

 rooted. Core reddish orange, almost the same color 

 as the flesh, and so inconspicuous as to make the term 

 coreless seem appropriate.

 lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. or over, $1.10 per lb. 



No. 12. Danvers Half-Long 



Long, smooth, handsome root 



Days to maturity, 75. A variety developed by the 

 market gardeners in the vicinity of Danvers, Mass., and 

 first listed by Gregory in 1877. Recently the market- 

 trend has been toward a longer Carrot, with the result 

 that Danvers Half-Long is a variety of great popularity 

 in the vegetable industry. The roots are bright, deep 

 orange, 6 to 7 inches long, uniformly tapering to a 

 blunt end. The quality is crisp and tender.

No. 1 3. Imperator 



Roots 8 inches long, uniformly tapering, of fine quality 



Days to maturity, 77. A recent introduction by 

 Associated Seed Growers, through whose courtesy 

 we print this photograph.- Thought to have been 

 developed from a European variety. Growers requir- 

 ing a longer Carrot than Danvers Half-Long are finding 

 satisfaction and profit in the Imperator. A well-bred 

 type which will average 8 inches in length. The roots 

 have sloping shoulders, are smooth, and of a deep rich 

 orange color. The flesh is a rich orange color, extending 

 to the center of the root, with indistinct core; fine- 

 grained, tender, and of high quality.
