HENDERSON’S 
Table Carrots 
By storing carrots and other roots in cellars, or 
in pits outside , a bountiful supply of vegetable food 
for the winter may be secured. Seed may be sown 
from early spring to as late as Aug. 15th. Our 
booklet 11 Henderson's Garden Culture of Boot 
Crops" gives full instructions for planting, culti¬ 
vating and storing for winter. Sent free if asked 
for when ordering. 
HENDERSON’S INTERMEDIATE CARROT 
A large, handsome, main crop variety, between half-long and long, with 
an enormous yielding capacity in deep soils. The root, 10 or 12 inches in 
length, is very broad at the neck, 2 to 3 inches through, and tapers evenly 
to the small tap-root. It grows smoothly and uniformly and has rich, 
reddish-orange flesh, tender, sweet and entirely free from woody coarseness 
even at maturity. 
As a table Carrot it is unsurpassed; for truckers its fine color and 
appearance render it salable, while as a field Carrot its great yield makes 
it valuable. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 34 lb., $2.00 lb. 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE CARROT 
An improved strain of this popular variety for cither garden or field 
culture, roots averaging 12 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter at 
the top; an enormous yielder and a good keeper. The strain we offer 
is the result of painstaking selection—--spread over a period of years—of 
the most highly colored and the most perfectly shaped roots of the old 
variety of Long Orange. 
The old variety was justly esteemed for stock feeding purposes but 
Improved Long Orange is highly desirable for table use, the flavor being 
extremely good, and the flesh tender. Price, 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 50c. 34 lb., 
$1.75 lb. 
CHANTENAY CARROT 
This splendid Carrot belongs to the half-long “stump” or blunt-rooted 
type, but differs from all others of this class by its greater girth, bulk and 
consequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in length, is broad at the neck, 
narrowing gradually to the round, blunt base, therefore is easily harvested. 
The flesh, almost free from core, is of rich orange-red and of the finest 
table quality; fine grained, tender, juicy and delicately flavored. 
Chantenay Carrot is an excellent variety 
for use either for an early crop or a 
main crop. In the latitude of New York 
sow as early as possible for 
early carrots, certainly not 
later than the end of April. 
The roots of cours< 
are best when used 
young. For a main crop 
sow Chantenay from 
June 1st to June 20th. 
Carrots split and 
rooty if 
growth. This may 
avoided by water 
ing when dry, and 
by an occasional 
application o f 
liquid manure.

HENDERSON’S SELECTED 
Half-Long DANVERS CARROT 
A handsome, half-long, cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot 
of good size and of a rich, dark orange color; it grows to a 
large size; is smooth, and the flesh very close in texture 
with very little core. It is a first-class Carrot for all soils 
and has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre, with the smallest 
length of root of any now grown. It is more easily harvested 
than the longer types and is excellent to store for winter, for 
stock or table use. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. 
oz., 60c. 34 lb., $2.00 lb. 
OXHEARTor Guerande CARROT 
An excellent sort for the private garden, being 
especially valuable for spring and early summer 
crop. Its short, stocky character gives it great 
value on shallow soils, where the larger varieties 
will not succeed and the compact growing leaves 
allow close planting. The quality is excellent; it 
remains tender long after maturity, and may be 
used while very small for soups, etc. It is excellent 
for growing in frames. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 
75c. 34 lb., $2.50 lb. 
Half-Long Red 
STUMP-ROOTED CARROT 
A shapely, stump-rooted variety, of medium size, 
and one of the best for private gardens for summer 
use; medium early. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 
34 lb., $2.00 lb.
