Stokes Two Strains of Carrot 



CHAXTEXAY and Danvers Half-Long, the two most important varieties 

 for the United States and Canada, are stocks that have received very 

 careful selection by our grower. If there are any purer stocks of either 

 we have not found them. We must admit to some regret that in following out 

 our variety simplification, we have been forced to eliminate Amsterdam and 

 Scarlet Xantes — two carrots of excellent table quality. Xeither 

 ■££fc of these, however, are of commercial importance and for the 



present our policy of concentration on the more important 

 ««. items eliminates them.

Chantenay (Stokes), a carrot 

 of rich orange-red color, 

 of great uniformity 

 according to the 

 Half-Long type, 

 smooth and com- 

 paratively free from 

 outside rootlets, will 

 give very general 

 satisfaction. Ex- 

 perienced carrot 

 growers will im- 

 mediately recognize 

 this as a finely bred 

 type and one which 

 can be planted on 

 large acreages with 

 the utmost confi- 

 dence of a satisfac- 

 tory and profitable 

 crop.

Good-Will is sometimes expressed in the recommendation 

 of a satisfactory product to one's neighbors and friends. 

 We are very grateful for all such evidence of good will. 



Danvers Half-Long (Stokes) 



Outstanding feature : Recommended for Fall maturity 





SPECIFICATIONS: 



Color purity 99 % 



Disinfectant: Dipdust (Bayer). 



Type purity 93 % 



Days to maturity: 60-75. 



Germination: 74 



Length of root: to 5H inches. 



Danvers Half-Long (Stokes) is particularly recommended for late 

 autumn and winter sale. It is slightly larger than Chantenay and does 

 not have the same tendency to throw side roots after reaching maturity. 

 Neither is it so likely to split in wet weather. In almost all other 

 characteristics, except in the general shape as noted in our illustrations, our 

 two stocks of both Danvers Half-Long and Chantenay are of equal value.
