Henderson's Selected Half-Long 

 Danvers 



2Q4 ^ 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 is a first-class Carro. 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 

 harvested than the longer types, and is excellent to store for 

 winter, for stock or table use. (See illustrntion.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 25c.; 34 lb. 75c; lb. $2.00; trans- 

 portation paid. 



'"/ bought Danvers Carrol Seed from another firm last year and 

 had such poor results that I said: 'Peter Henderson and Co. for me. 

 in the future.' One can always count on the results from your seeds."

Improved Long Orange 



304 ^ n i m P rove d 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 selec- 

 tion — 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, pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; )i lb. 60c; lb. $1.50; transportation 

 paid. 



Henderson's Intermediate 



ono A large, handsome, main crop variety, between half-long and long, 

 u 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.

Oxheart or Guerande 



308 '^ n exce 'lent sor t 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 succeed, 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 in frames.
