Henderson s CORELESS Carrot. 



The Finest Early Table Variety Grown. 

 Handsome, Meltingly Tender and Sweet 



This Carrot, recently introduced by us, 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 a 

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

 shape and size, 6 to 7 inches long, by l}^ 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. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. \i lb., $1.50 lb.

Henderson's 



Selected 

 Half- long 



Danvers Carrot. 



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 very close in texture, with very 

 little core and a small, tapering tap-root. It is a first-class 

 Carrot for all soils; under good cultivation it has yielded 25 

 to 30 tons per acre, with the smallest length of root of any 

 now grown, and is more easily harvested than the longer 

 tvpes. Our selected stock gives the best of satisfaction. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. }i lb., $1.25 lb. 



" Your Selected Half-long Danvers Carrot is the best I ever saw. Some 

 fields of it yielded. 33 tons of good table grade carrots. I want more of the same 

 strain of seed next year." HENRY GREFFRATH, South Lima, Ohio. 



Improved 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. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. }<£ lb., 90c. lb. 



"Last season I raised Long Orange Carrots from seeds purchased from you 

 that measured \\feet in length and 4 inches in diameter "

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 grad- 

 ually to the round, blunt base, therefore is easily 

 harvested. The flesh, entirely free from core, is 

 of rich orange- red and of the finest table quality, 

 fine-grained, tender, juicy and delicately flavored. 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. H lb., $1.00 lb. 



Henderson's Intermediate Carrot. 



A large and handsome main-crop variety, some- 

 times called the ''Pointed Danvers." It is the 

 connecting link between half-long and long 

 carrots, with a yielding capacity in deep soils 

 equal to any of the longs. 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 

 combines with its other merits rich reddish-orange 

 flesh, tender, sweet and entirely free from wood)'' 

 coarseness even at maturity. 



As a table carrot it is unsurpassed; for truckers 

 its fine cole" and appearance renders it salable. 

 while as a field carrot its great yield makes it 

 valuable. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. }i lb., 

 $1.10 lb. 



" Today I have been digging some of your Intermedial! 

 Carrots, and they were the finest lot I ever saw- they outraged 

 uniform and large." E. J. WEST, Oberlin, Ohio.
