Henderson's Selected Half-Long 

 Danvers 



294 -V 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 Carrot 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 illustration.)

 and hadsuch poor results that I said: 'Peter Henderson and Co. ^ 

 for me in the future.' One am always count on the results from your 

 seeds."

Improved Long Orange 



^04 -^ n im 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 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 extremely good, and 

 the flesh tender.

Henderson's Intermediate 



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

 long, 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. (See illustration.)

Oxheart or Guerande 



308 ^ n exce Uent sort for the private garden, being especially valu- 

 able for spring and early summer crop. Its short, stocky char- 

 acter gives it great value on shallow soils, where the larger varieties will not succeed, and the com- 

 pact 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.
