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., 35c. oz., $1.20 \i lb., $4.00 lb. 
IMPROVED 
Long Orange Carrot 
An improved strain of this popular variety for 
■either 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. (See en- 
graving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 M lb., 
$3.00 lb. 
Oxheart 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., 35c. oz., $1.20 
M lb., $4.00 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. ( See engrav¬ 
ing.) Price, 5c. pkt., 35c. oz.. 
$1.20 Lt lb., $4.00 lb. 
“ Your Half-Long Red Slump- 
Rooted Carrot is the best I ever saw 
in my life.”
