Carters’ Blood Red. — This Carrot is quite distinct, and has many good and new 
qualities. It has a depth of colour not hitherto seen in Carrots, the texture of its 
flesh, while solid and crisp, is most tender, and entirely loses the pithy heart found in 
many large-growing varieties. It has handsome long roots.
