THE FRANK S. PLATT COMPANY’S 
CARROT — NEW BUNCHING 
Carrot, New Bunching 
A new type developed to fill the demand for a longer, bright-colored bunching carrot. The tops are 
somewhat shorter than Chantenay but plenty large and sufficient for bunching. At full maturity, 
the roots are almost cylindrical, with rounded shoulders and well stumped; 114 to 114 inches by 8 
inches long. The color is a fine deep red, both exterior and interior; cores are small and indistinct; 
roots free from hair roots and wrinkles. As compared with Danver’s or Chantenay, New Bunch¬ 
ing is richer in color, longer, more slender, and carries the width more toward the tip. The roots 
are a little slower in reaching full maturity, but it remains in condition for use a long time. Price 
per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 15c.; per 14-lb., 40c.; per lb., $1.25. 
Giant Straightneck Squash 
There has been a greatly increased 
demand recently for a better strain 
of Giant Straightneck; a selection 
from the Crookneck Squash, but with 
a straight, thick, meaty neck instead 
of the crooked one. Our stock has 
been improved in uniformity. It is 
decidedly better for shipping as well 
as in the kitchen. Fruits 15 to 18 
inches; quick growing and tender. The attractive light butter color, without trace of green, has 
been favorably commented on by our market garden trade. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 15c.; per 
14-lb., 45c.; per lb., $1.50.
