CARROT 



Early Scarlet Horn (x 



(Daucus carota.) Native of Europe, probably the British Isles. 

 Our common garden Carrot has probably not been under cultivation 

 for more than 500 j^ears. Modern seed-supply comes largely from 

 France and California.

Danvers Half-Long. ?e"lpe??erS alvert liS. 



and first listed by Gregory in 18//. Danvers Half-Long is a 

 second-early Carrot, which is adaptable to varA'ing soil con- 

 ditions. It differs from the Chantenay in that it is perhaps two 

 weeks later in reaching maturity, and will average 5} 2 inches 

 in length, tapering to a blunt point. The average diameter of 

 the root is slightly smaller than Chantenay. The color is a rich, 

 deep orange, and the quality of the roots is excellent. Danvers 

 Half-Long is a ver\- desirable Carrot for stock purposes, inas- 

 much as it will produce a large tonnage per acre. Price, large 

 pkt. lOc, oz. 15c., y4lb. 35c., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. $12, delivered. 



Early Scarlet Horn. 



Da^'S to maturity, 

 55." First listed _ by 

 Hovey & Co., Boston, Mass., in 1834. A variety 

 long in general use as a forcing Carrot and for 

 outdoor cultivation in the early spring. As is the 

 case with other quick-growing root crops, it 

 quickly passes the edible stage, and, therefore, 

 must be gathered immediately on maturity. The 

 roots will attain a length of about 3 inches. They 

 are reddish orange in color, and the tops are small. 

 Price, large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., y4\h. 35 cts., 

 lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. $12.00, delivered. 



Days to matu- 

 rity, 80. A va- 

 riety introduced by \'iImorin, of Paris. The tops 

 of this Carrot are comparatively small. The roots 

 will attain a length of about 33^ inches, and at 

 the thickest point will average at least 3 inches 

 in diameter. It is a vers' desirable variety for 

 hard, stiff soils, because of the ease with which it 

 may be har\'ested. 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. 

 Price, large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., V4lt). 35 cts.,

This French variety was introduced by Vil- 

 morin, Andrieux & Co., of Paris, and first listed 

 in this country by Ferr\^ in 1889. Our strain has 

 been admitted to the Super-Standard classifica- 

 tion and a further description and colored illus- 

 tration will be found of it on page 2. Price, large

Improved Long Orange. ^^'^ ^ 



Listed under this name by Burpee, in 1881, as an 

 improvement over the original Long Orange, a 

 variety no longer used. 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 verj' smooth over its 

 entire length, which will average over 7 inches. 

 This variety is particularly recommended for 

 light, well-tilled soil, and care should be taken to 

 prepare the ground deeper than for any of the 

 other varieties that we offer. Price, large pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., y4lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. 

 $12.00, delivered.
