This variety is well adapted to all soils and sections, and some years 

 it leads our whole list as the best seller. It is half long in shape, 

 almost cylindrical, somewhat stump rooted, and of rich, dark orange 

 color. We claim that it will yield greater bulk and weight for a given 

 length of root than any other carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre 

 of Maule's Danvers have been grown, and a yield of 25 to 30 tons per 

 acre is not uncommon. Grown extensively by market gardeners for 

 bunching and makes a handsome appearance on the market stalls; of 

 the finest quality and one of the most popular sorts for home use.
