Oxheart or Guerande. An excellent sort 



for the market 

 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 qual- 

 ity is excellent; it remains tender long after 

 maturity and is excellent for growing in frames.

"/ think your Coreless Carrot is superior to any I have ever 

 grown. It is also a good winter, keeper and does not lose its fine 

 flavor." #

Chantenay, Henderson's 



This splendid Carrot belongs to the half -long "stump" 

 or blunt-rooted type, but differs from all others of this class 

 by its greater girth, bulk and consequent yield. It averages 

 6 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 early or main crop. In the latitude of New York 

 _sow as early as possible for early carrots, certainly not later 

 -than the end of April, so that the roots will mature before 

 July. For a main crop sow Chantenav from June 1st to June 

 20th. (See engraving). Price, oz. 15c, )i lb. 40c, lb. $1.25 

 (10 lbs. and over, $1.15 lb. 25 lb. lots and over $1.00 lb.) 



"I, would appreciate your sending me your same strain of Carrol seeds as last 

 year,. {Chantenay), as we look the sweepstakes at the Stale Vegetable Growers' 

 Convention at Buffalo last winter." Oswego Gardens, Inc., Oswego, N. Y.
