CARROT. 



H ENDekson-s CORELESS CARROT 



Although but recently distributed this highly bred early 

 carrot has already become very popidar; its combination of 

 many good qualities certainly justifying the preference givenit. 



Henderson's Coreless excels all half long carrots in earli- 

 ness, productiveness, handsome appearance 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 orange-red is very fine grained, 

 tender throughout, entirely free from the woody, yellow 

 heart or 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 per- 

 fection. {See cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 55c. \ lb., $1.75 lb. 



CHANTENAY, Half* Long Scarlet Carrot. 



A short, thick, stump-rooted sort of handsome shape, very 

 productive and of fine quality. It is very largely grown for 

 bunching and as an early basket sort. It is remarkably even 

 in shape and size; no sort, equals it in this respect. For 

 medium early and main crop it is unexcelled. It is not recom- 

 mended for winter storing. Price, 20c. oz., 50c. \ lb., $1.50 lb. 



"Your Half-Long Scarlet Can-id is 



an earlv and very productive kind."

Henderson's NEW YORK MARKET CARROT 



This Carrot, introduced by us, has become a standard 

 variety. Its quick growth makes it valuable for early bunch- 

 ing. 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 prominence. 

 Price 20c. oz., 50c. \ lb., $1.50 lb. 



IMPROVED LONG ORANGE CARROT. 



An improved 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. Price 15c. oz., 45c. J lb., $1.40 lb. 



"Last season I raised Long Orange Carrots from seeds purchased from you 

 thit measured I5 feel in length and 4 inches in diameter."

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 specially grown for 

 market gardeners, to whom it gives the best satisfaction. 

 (See cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 60c. \ lb., $2.00 lb.

" Your Selected Half-Long Danvers is the best carrot I ever saw. It 

 yielded me 33 tons per acre of high grade table carrots "

H endePvSon-s INTERMEDIATE CARROT. 



The best main crop and late Carrot. It is most uniform 

 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 enormous, which, with its handsome 

 color and fine appearance, 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. (See cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 50c. | lb., $1.50 lb. 



"/ have bought my Carrot Seed from your house for several years, be- 

 cause it always has given me the highest satisfaction.
