CHANTENAY GARROT 



290. This splendid Carrot belongs^ to the half-long "stump" or blunt- 

 rooted tJTDe, but differs from all others of this class by its greater girth, 

 bulk, and consequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in length, is broad at 

 the neck, narrowing gradual!}^ to the round, blunt base, therefore is easily 

 harvested. The flesh, alinpst 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 Ijest when used j'oung. For a main crop sow Chan- 

 tenay from June 1st to June 20th. Carrots split and grow rooty if 

 checked in growth. This'may be avoided by watering when dry, and by 

 an occasional application of liquid manure. (See engraving.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. M lb., $1.00 lb.

 STUMP-ROOTED CARROT 



300. A shapely, stunTp-rooted variety, of medium size, and one of the 

 best for private gardens for summer use;'mediuni early. Price, 10c. pkt.,

HENDERSON'S 



INTERMEDIATE CARROT 



302. A large, handsome, main crop variety, between half-long and 

 long, w^th an enormous j"ielding capacity in deep soils. The root, 10 

 or 12 inches in length, is verj- l>road at the neck, 2 to 3 inches through, 

 and tapers evenly to the small tap-root. It grows smoothly and uni- 

 forml}', 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 jdeld makes 

 it valuable. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 45c. }i lb., $1.25 lb. 



IMPROVED LONG ORANGE CARROT 



304. 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 perfectlj' 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, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. 

 M lb., $1.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S CORELESS CARROT 



292. This Carrot, introduced by us a few years ago, has proven one 

 of the most universally popular varieties ever sent out. People who 

 never liked Carrots before are delighted with the melting tenderness 

 and sweet mild flavor of Henderson's Coreless. (See illustration in colors 

 on page 23.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. M lb-. $2.00 lb.

 sood size and of a rich, dark-orange color; it grows to a large size; is 

 >mooth, and the flesh is very close in texture \rith verj^ little core.

"J bought cheap Danver's Carrot seed from another firm last year and had 

 ■•^lich poor results in yield and type of root I said ^ Peter Henderson for me in 

 I'liture.' One can always count on well-bred vegetables and a garden to be proud 

 of from Henderson's seeds." MRS. E. F. WADE, Knappa, Oregon. 



OXHEART or GUERANDE CARROT 



308. An excellent sort for the private garden, being especially val- 

 uable for spring and early summer crop. Its short, stoekj' 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 whfle very small for soups, etc. It is excellent for growing 

 in frames. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 45c. M lb., $1-25 lb.
