Ory oo PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 
HENDERSON’S SELECTED 
GARDEN CARROTS 
CULTURE.—Prefers a deep mellow soil. Sow seed in April for an 
early or in July for a fall crop. Sow seed half an inch deep in rows 
twelve inches apart. Thin out to three inches apart. Make successive 
plantings so as to insure a constant supply all summer. 
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 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, 10c pkt.; 20c 
0z.; 50¢ % Ib.; $1.25 Ib. 
Oxheart or Guerande Carrot 
308—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 suc- 
ceed, 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 
290—This Splendid Carrot belongs to the half-long “‘stump”’ or blunt- jn frames. Price, 10¢ pkt.; 25¢ 0z.; 6Vce % lb.; $1.50 lb. 
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, there- 
fore 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 va- 
riety 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 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 be 
avoided by watering when dry, and by an occasional application of 
ee eae (See engraving.) Price, 10¢ pkt.; 25¢ oz.; 60e % Ib.; 
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. It isa half-long, cylindrical 
Carrot, blunt-pointed, with a small tap-root and small top. They 
run very uniform in shape and size, 6 to 7 inches long, by 114 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 the rich red-orange so 
attractive when served. Henderson’s Coreless excels all other half- 
long Carrots in earliness without being inferior to them in productive- 
ness. Price, 10c pkt.; 30¢ oz.; 75¢c %4 Ib.; $2.00 Ib. 
Selected Henderson’s Half-Long Danvers Carrot 
294—A handsome, half-long, cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot of good 
size and of a rich dark-orange color; it grows to a large size; is smooth, 
and the flesh is very close in texture with very little core. It isa first- 
class Carrot for all soils, and has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre, with 
the smallest length of root of any now grown. It is more easily har- 
vested than the longer types, and is excellent to store for winter, for 
stock or table use. (See engraving.) Price, 10¢ pkt.; 25¢ oz.; 60¢ 
14 Ib.; $1.50 lb. 
Half-Long Red Stump-Rooted Carrot 
_300—A shapely, stump-rooted variety, of medium size, and one of the 
_ best for private gardens for summer use; medium early. Price, 10c 
_pkt.; 20e oz.; 60¢ % ib.; $1.50 Ib. 
Henderson’s Intermediate Carrot > 
_ 302—A large, handsome, main crop variety, between half-long and 
Jong, 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, 10¢ pkt.; 30¢ oz.; 75c % Ib.; $2.00 lb.
