(Daucus carota.) Native of Europe, probably the British Isles. Our common garden Carrot has probably not 

 been under cultivation for more than 500 years.

 Long 



Days to maturity, 65. We consider 

 this among the very finest seed stock that 

 we offer. The outstanding characteristic 

 of this strain is its brilliant orange-red 

 color and the fine texture of its flesh. It 

 Is free from fiber and has a remarkably 

 smooth exterior. (Pale color distinctly 

 affects the market value of the Carrot.) 

 In shape, this Super-Standard strain of Chantenay is well matched 

 has finely cut shoulders, tapers but slightly, cutting in sharply 



Days to maturity, 60. This delicately 

 flavored, tender Carrot is a valuable 

 addition to our list. It is a comparatively 

 quick grower and the rich orange flesh 

 will prove a positive delight, even to 

 ople who have never enjoyed Carrots 

 fore. The delicate texture of the root 

 assures complete freedom from the rather 

 hard core sometimes found in the larger 

 varieties. Our illustration is characteristic 

 of the contour of the Coreless. In length 

 it will run from 4 to 6 inches. Price,

in the colored illustration herewith. The root 

 at the bottom. The mature Carrot is about 

 5 inches in length. In season it is midway between Coreless and Danvers. The top is small, making it a desirable 

 variety for bunching. This great French variety is now grown privately for us. We take no chances with or- 

 dinary commercial stocks. We believe that the expense of an extra dollar per acre is a profitable investment, and 

 one which any careful market gardener is willing to invest, for with this stock he will be able to produce a very 

 superior product. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; y 4 \b. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50; 5 lbs. or more, $1.40 per lb.

 except that it is not so stump-rooted and that in general proportions it is slightly larger. Its great advantage 

 over Chantenay is that it is not so likely to throw out side roots after reaching maturity. Price, delivered:
