HENDERSON'S 



INTERMEDIATE CARROT. 



The best main crop and late Carrot. It is most uni- 

 form in shape, long-tapering, heavy shouldered, and 

 where the soil is favorable it will always grow clean 

 and free from side roots. The core is small and very 

 tender, and there is no woody character at any stage 

 of its growth. It is also entirely free from any 

 coarse, rank flavor and its yielding capacity is enor- 

 mous, which, with its handsome color and fine ap- 

 pearance, makes it invaluable to truckers. The 

 color is maintained right along throughout the 

 winter and they come out of the pits as bright 

 and fresh as when first dug. This makes it the 

 best sort for winter-storing. Price, 20c. oz., 

 70c. I lb., $2.25 lb.

 years, because it always has given me the highest satisfac- 

 tion." CHAS. W. INGALLS, Watkins, N.Y. 



HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



DANVERS CARROT. 



A handsome, half-long, 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 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 long Carrots. Our selected 

 stock is especially grown for market 

 gardeners, to whom it gives the 

 best satisfaction. Price, 30c. oz., 

 85c. i lb., $3.00 lb. For our cheaper 

 strain of Danvers see page 3.6. 



"Your Selected Half-Long Danvers is the 

 best carrot I ever saw. It yielded me 33 tons 

 per acre of ki$h grade table carrots."

CHANTENAY 



HALF-LONG SGARLET 

 CARROT. 



A short, thick, stump-rooted 

 sort of handsome shape, very 

 productive and of fine qual- 

 ity. It is very largely grown 

 for bunching and as an early 

 basket sort. It is remark- 

 ably even in shape and size; 

 no sort equals it in this re- 

 spect. For medium early and 

 main crop it is unexcelled. 

 It is not recommended for 

 winter storing. Price, 25c. 

 oz., 75c. 1 lb., $2.50 lb. 



"Your Half-Long Scarlet Carrot is 

 an early and very productive kind."

 from long 

 perience."

HENDERSON'S 



New York Market Carrot. 



This Carrot, introduced [by us, has become a 

 standard variety. Its quick growth makes it 

 valuable for early bunching. It is handsome and 

 symmetrical, of bright orange color; flesh crisp, 

 tender and sweet, almost coreless, unexcelled for 

 bunching, and as a basket sort it commands top prices, 

 its attractive color and fine shape always giving it prom- 

 inence. Price, 25c. oz., 80c. i lb., $2.75 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



COKELESS CAKKOT. 



Although but recently distributed this highly bred early carrot has 

 already become very popular; its combination of many good qual- 

 ities certainly justifying the preference given it. Henderson's Coreless 

 excels all half long carrots in carliness, productiveness, handsome appear- 

 ance and fine quality. The roots are of medium size — 6 to 7 inches long — 

 the ideal for table use. In form they are almost perfectly cylindrical with 

 blunt base, small tap root, small fine tops and a very smooth skin. They 

 run very uniform and even in size and shape, pull easily and bunch well on 

 account of the small shoulder, but the crowning merit of this variety is its superb 

 quality. The flesh of rich orangc-rcd is very fine grained, tender throughout, en- 

 tirely free from the woody, yellow heart of core so usual in most red fleshed carrots. 

 The flavor is also mild, sweet and delicious. Both for the home garden and for market, 

 Henderson's Coreless Carrot is perfection. Price, 25c. oz., 75c. } lb., $2.50 lb.
