Carrot 



(Continued) 



Henderson's Coreless 



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

 has proven one of the most universally popular varie- 

 ties 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 a 

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

 in shape and size, 6 to 7 inches long, by 1% 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 productiveness. 



Trice, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.50 lb. 



Early Scarlet Horn 



29S. Early Scarlet Horn or "Shorthorn" Carrot is a 

 very popular early variety, 3 to 4 inches long and \ x k 

 inches in diameter, blunt-rooted; it is a favorite for 

 bunching for market. A fine table Carrot and when 

 pulled young is excellent for soups and stews. The 

 color is deep orange scarlet, very fine grained, and also 

 sweet in flavor. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. M lb., $1.50 lb. 



Improved Long Orange 



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 ex- 

 tremely good, and the flesh tender. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. % lb., $1.50 lb. 



Henderson's Intermediate 



302. A large, handsome, main crop variety, between 

 half-long and long, with an enormous yielding capac- 

 ity 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.
