HENDERSQN'S 



Table Carrots 



_By storing carrots and other roots in cellars, or 

 in pits outside, a bountiful supply of vegetable food 

 for the winter may be secured. ': Seed may be sown 

 from early spring to as late as Aug. 15th. Our 

 booklet "Henderson's Garden Culture cf Root 

 Crops" gives full instructions for planting, culti- 

 vating and storing for winter. Sent free if asked 

 for when ordering. 



HENDERSON'S INTERMEDIATE CARROT 



A large, handsome, main crop variety, Isetween half-long and long, with 

 an enormous yielding capacity in deep soils. The root, 10 or 12 inches in 

 length, is very broad at the neck, 2 to 3 inches through, and tapers evenly 

 to the small tap-root. It grows smoothly and uniiormly and has rich, 

 reddish-orange flesh, tender, sweet and entirely free from woody coarseness 

 even at maturity. 



As a table Carrot it is unsurpassed; for truckers its fine color and 

 appearance render it salable, while as a field Carrot its great yield makes 

 it valuable. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 45c. i.| lb., $1.50 lb. 



IMPROVED LONG ORANGE CARROT 



An improved strain of this popular variety for either garden or field 

 culture, roots averaging 12 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter at 

 the top; an enormous yielder and a good keeper. The strain we offer 

 is the result of painstaking selection — spread over a period of years — of 

 the most highly colored and the most perfectly shaped roots of the old 

 variety of Long Orange. _ 



The old variety was justly esteemed for stock feeding purposes but 

 Improved Long Orange is highly desirable for table use, the flavor being 

 extremely good, and the flesh tender. Price, 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. J4 lb., 

 $1.25 lb. 



CHANTENAY CARROT 



This splendid Carrot belongs to the half-long " stump " or blunt-rooted 

 type, but diu'ers from all others of this class by its greater girth, bulk and 

 consequent yield. It averages to 7 inches in length, is broad at the neck, 

 narrowing gradually to the round, blunt base, therefore is easily harvested. 

 The flesh, almost free from core, is of rich orange-red and of the finest 

 table quality; fine grained, tender, juicy and delicately flavored. 

 Chantenay Carrot is an excellent variety 

 for use either for an early crop or a 

 main crop. In the latitude of New York 

 sow as early as possible for 

 early carrots, certainly not 

 later than the end of April.

The roots of course 

 are best when used 

 young. For a main crop 

 sow Chantenay from 

 June 1st to June 20th. 

 Carrots split and grow 

 rooty if checked in 

 growth. This may be 

 avoided by water- 

 ing when dry, and 

 by an occasional 

 application o f 

 liquid manure.

OXHEARTor Guerande CARROT

especially valuable for spring and early summer

allow close planting. The quality is excellent; it 



remains tender long after maturity, and may be 



used while very small for soups, etc. It is excellent 



for growing in frames. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz.,
