This is the popular, long-type Carrot now 
being shipped to all markets from California 
A fine addition to Carrots of the bunching class. It is somewhat 
longer than Danvers Half-Long, averaging about 8 inches, but 
is more stump-rooted than the tapering, pointed roots of most 
Carrots of that length. Its color is deep orange, both exterior and 
interior, and runs close to the stem. The core is equally deep 
orange and small. Its fine bunching tops and smooth, attractive, 
uniform roots make this variety ideal for local market sale or for 
shipping to distant markets.

NANTES HALF-LONG STUMP-ROOTED. 
This is 
CORELESS. This is the earliest of its type. It is a half-long, 
. cylindrical, blunt-pointed variety, with a very small 
tap-root and small, fine top. The shape and size are extremely 
uniform, averaging 6 to 7 inches in length and lj^ inches in 
diameter, clean-skinned, and smooth. The flesh is very fine¬ 
grained, absolutely without any core, and entirely free from 
stringiness and coarseness. The red-orange flesh is of the finest 
flavor and texture and excels all others in table qualities. 
CHANTENAY HALF-LONG 
Our strain is specially selected and produces fine 
uniform clean roots, with nice bunching tops 
A medium-early, half-long, smooth, blunt-rooted sort of deep 
orange-red color and delicate flavor. As it has a nice top, it is 
very popular for bunching and for frame use, allowing close 
planting. Shaped broadest at shoulder, tapering toward base and 
running suddenly to a point; the root averages 6 inches in length. 
well adapted for frame use. The smooth bright orange 
root is cylindrical, about to 7 inches long and 1 to 
\}/2 inches in diameter, with very blunted end and 
small tap-root. The flesh is red, sweet, almost coreless 
and of unsurpassed quality for table use. The top is 
ordinarily small and short, but when grown on muck- 
soil the tops grow to ample size. This feature makes 
it an ideal bunching carrot for muck-soil culture, and 
its use as such is increasing very rapidly. 
Oxheart. A stump-rooted sort with light, scant foliage. 
Root is 5 inches long and 3 to 4 inches in diameter, 
bright orange-red, tender, and sweet. 
HUTCHINSON. Originating in the Boston market, its 
use is gradually spreading. It is a winter-keeping va¬ 
riety with roots about 15 inches long, nearly cylindri¬ 
cal, but tapering slightly to an abrupt stump end. 
Both outside and inside color are paler orange than 
Danvers. The growth, with the top of the root 
slightly out of ground with a green top, is characteristic. 
Pride of Denmark. A winter-storing sort with strong 
tops and smooth, cylindrical, stump-ended roots 
growing 10 inches iong. The flesh is deep red-orange 
with very small core. Pride of Denmark produces 
very heavy yields.

DANVERS HALF-LONG. This sort is slightly longer than Chante- 
nay, growing 7 to 8 inches Iong, is square-shouldered, tapering 
gradually to a blunt point. The root is smooth and handsome, of 
an orange-red color, with sweet, crisp flesh. For main planting it 
has no superior, and when sown during June it produces the best 
roots to store away for later use in winter. 
RUBICON HALF-LONG. This strain is excellent for forcing under 
glass, for bunching, or for growing outside at any season, and an 
excellent summer basket sort. The smooth, orange-red root is 
half-long, stump-rooted, averaging 5 inches, with nice top.
