THE PRANK S. PLATT COMPANY 
Carrot — New Bundling 
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; 1% to IV 2 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 Danvers 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 ^-Ib., 40c.; per lb., $1.25. 
Giant Straightneck Squash 
(Special Strain) 
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. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; ^/4-lb., 40c.; lb., $1.40. 
Squash, Early Prolific Straightneck 
Award of Merit 1938 All America Selections 
An earlier, smaller and very prolific strain of Straightneck. Fruits are considered of market size 
when 4-6 inches long by 1% inches diameter, pale yellow and quite smooth. At maturity fruits are 
9-12 inches long. Plant is about half the spread of Giant Straightneck. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 25c.; ^-Ib., 
65c.; lb., $2.00.
