H endersons 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 1}4 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., 30c. oz., 85c. 3 4 lb., $3.00 lb. 



" Your neiv Carrot 'Henderson's Coreless* is the best 1 ever raised. It is 

 a Carrol of quality and unsurpassed as a table variety."

 "I used 14 lb. of your Henderson's Coreless Carrot last year. It is the best

 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 

 types. Our selected stock gives the best of satisfaction.

 or field culture, roots averaging 12 inches in length and 3

 keeper. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 341b., $2.75 lb. 



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 gradually 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.

H endersons Intermediate Carrot 



A large and handsome main-crop variety, sometimes 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 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. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 

 M lb., $2.75 lb.

 were the finest lot I ever saw; they averaged uniform and large."

 "Last season I raised Long Orange Carrots from your seed that measured
