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, x /i lb. 40c, lb. $1.25, 

 (10 lb. lots @ $1.15 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. The roots run very uniform in 

 shape and size, 6 to 7 inches long, by 1 finches 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. (See engraving.) Price, oz. 30c, \i lb. 90c, lb. $2.76,

 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, J4 lb. 75c, 

 lb. $2.00, 10 lb. lots @ $1.90 lb.

 or core. It is also one of the best sorts for frame use.
