Henderson's Select Market Growers Stocks 



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 grad- 

 ually 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 excel- 

 lent variety for use either for early or main crop.
