292 HENDERSON'S CORELESS CARROT 



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. 



It is a half-long cylindrical Carrot, blunt-pointed, with small tap-root and 

 small top and runs very uniform in shape and size. It is 6 to 7 inches long, 

 by IK inches through; clean skinned, smooth, easily pulled and keeps well. 

 The flesh is of fine texture, entirely devoid of stringiness, coarseness and 

 woody heart or core. The color is the rich red-orange so attractive when 

 Berved. Henderson's Coreless excels all other half-long Carrots in earliness 

 without being inferior to them in productiveness.

HENDERSON'S INTERMEDIATE CARROT 



A large, handsome, main crop variety, between 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 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., 15c. oz., 45c. \i lb., $1.50 lb. 



304IMPROVED 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 ]4, lb.. 

 $1-25 lb. 



290 CHANTENAY CARROT 



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 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 cours< 

 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 

 avoided by water 

 ing when dry, and 

 by an occasional 

 application o f 

 liquid manure,
