Red Cored Chantenay: LV P ay comSanTes ne use an a 
large proportion of the late carrot crop of New York State. They 
want a large chunky carrot of the Chantenay type but have al¬ 
ways objected to the light colored core. Red Cored Chantenay is a 
strain of this old variety having a core practically as dark in color as 
the surrounding meat. The core is also less woody than some of the 
old strains. The roots are 5J4 to 6 inches long, 214 inches thick at 
the top. Stump rooted, deep orange flesh. Not a good bunching 
variety. Pkt. $.05; oz. $.15; M lb. $.35; lb. $1.15; 10 lbs. $10.00.

• 68 days. For the home garden and market where 
IX alllCo . quality counts we recommend Nantes. The roots 
are 6 to 7 inches long, 1J4 inches thick at top and almost the same 
diameter the whole length. The quality is better than the larger 
varieties. Color of flesh bright orange with a very inconspicuous 
core. The top is rather small and inclined to be brittle. Pkt.

T rnr .p„ j;i +/-,*■ . 77 days. Bred for market garden use and for 
dlUi . bunching. We are sorry to say this new variety 
does not seem to be “fixed" for type as well as it should be. Where- 
ever we have seen it grown in the east there has been quite a vari¬ 
ation of size and shape. Tops medium, but strong. Roots have 
sloping shoulders, smooth, deep rich orange; tapered to a semi-blunt 
end. Flesh rich orange color, fine grained, tender and of fine qual¬ 
ity. The roots are 7 to 8J4 inches long, 1 54 to 2 inches thick at the 
top. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.15; J4 lb. $.40; lb. $1.45.
