HENDERSON'S 



Intermediate Carrot 



A large, handsome, main crop variety, between half-long 

 Bnd 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 uniformly 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., 35c. oz., $1.20 H lb., S4.00 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 

 6haped 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. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 % lb., 

 $3.00 lb. 



Oxheart GuerLde Carrot 



An excellent sort for the private garden, 

 being especially valuable for spring and early 

 summer crop. Its short, stocky character 

 gives it great value on shallow soils, where 

 the larger varieties will not succeed and 

 the compact growing leaves 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., 35c. oz., $1.20 

 M lb., $4.00 lb. 



HALF-LONG RED 



Stump - Rooted Carrot 



A shapely, stump-rooted variety, 

 of medium size, and one of the best 

 for private gardens, for summer 

 use; medium early. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 5c. pkt., 35c. oz. 

 $1.20 Mlb., $4.00 lb. 



"Your Half -Long Red Stump- 

 Rooted Carrol is the best I ever saw 

 in my life." 



STEPHAN PAUPKILLE.
