Oxheart or Guerande. An excellent sort 



for the market 

 garden, being especially valuable for spring and 

 early summer crop. Its short, stocky root 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. 

 Price, oz. 15c., M lb. 35c., lb. $1.00. 



"/ think your Careless 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, 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. {See engraving). Price, oz. 20c., }i lb. 40c., lb. $1.25, 

 (10 lb. lots @ $1.20 lb., 25 lb. lots ® $1.00 lb.) 



Coreless, Henderson's 



It is a half-long, cylindrical Carrot, blunt-ended, with a 

 small tap-root and small top. They run very uniform in shape 

 and size, 6 to 7 inches long, by 1 J^ inches through; clean skinned 

 smooth, easily pulled and keep well. The flesh is of fine 

 texture, entirely devoid of stringiness, coarseness, and woody 

 heart or core. The color of the flesh is rich red-orange. Hen- 

 derson's Coreless excels all other half-long Carrots in earli- 

 ness. ISee engraving.) Price, oz. 30c., }4 lb. 90c., lb. $2.76,

California Bunching

 young but practically stump-ended when fully matured. The 

 fine quality and color of the root are outstanding points and 

 there is really no core at all, the color of the flesh being nearly 

 the same all through. It possesses a sufficiently strong top to 

 permit bunching for market. Price, oz, 25c., }4 lb- 75c., 

 lb. $2,00, 10 lb. lots @ $1.90 lb.
