Carrots 
We have indicated the number of days usually 
required to produce roots of good bunching size. 
Red Cored Chantenay 
70 days. This is a distinct improvement over the 
well-known Chantenay, especially in color, texture 
and quality of flesh, and has been accepted with 
much enthusiasm particularly by shippers of fresh 
vegetables and by canners. Roots deep reddish- 
orange; 5/2 to 6 inches long, 2'A inches thick at 
the shoulder, tapered, stump-rooted; core reddish- 
orange, almost the same color as the flesh and so 
inconspicuous as to make the term coreless seem 
appropriate; flesh fine grained and tender; of 
sweet, delicate flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., 1 oz. 20 cts., 
1/4 lb. 50 cts., 1 lb. $1.50. 
The New Imperator Carrot 
The root is tapering with sloping shoulders. 
Average 6 to 8 inches long of deep orange color 
throughout the flesh: The tops are medium, just 
about right for bunching. A very attractive carrot. 
Please report how you like it. Pkt. 10 cts., 1 oz. 
15 cts., 1/4 lb. 45 cts., 1 lb. $1.50. 
Morses Bunching Carrot (No. 116) 
A new type carrot developed to fill the demand 
of shippers for a longer and better colored bunch¬ 
ing carrot. Tops are short and sparse, but foliage is 
rather coarsely cut and stems medium size and 
strong. The roots at full maturity are almost cylin¬ 
drical with rounded shoulders and are well stumped. 
The neck is quite small, yet not too small, and the 
tops are strong enough for a bunching carrot. Roots 
will run 1 1/4 to 1 V2 by 8 inches long. Color both 
exterior and interior is a fine deep red. Cores are 
small. Roots are smooth, free from hair roots and 
wrinkles. Especially recommended for summer and 
fall harvest on account of the small tops. 1 oz. 20 
cts., V 4 lb. 65 cts., 1 lb. $2.25.
