Danver’s Intermediate. Long Red without core. 
€ 1 This carrot was originally the Half Long French 
reole, variety, but grown in Louisiana a number of years 
it partakes of the color of the Half Long French, but grows 
considerably longer. This carrot can be planted at the time of 
year when Northern or French varieties cannot be planted; for 
instance, in very early Spring orlate Fall. We highly recom- 
mend this variety of Carrots.

It is as early as any previously 
mentioned, but stump-rooted and larger. Very smooth and of 
a fine color.
