223 Burpee’s Oxheart Carrot © 
75 days. Splendid midseason carrot, which may be used while the roots are 
still small. If allowed to mature, the broad, stocky, heart-shaped carrots will 
measure 5 to 54 in. long and 3 to 3% in. across where they are thickest; this 
gives a large amount of edible flesh which is light orange, tender, sweet, fine 
grained and of delicious flavor. Because of their shape, they are easy to harvest 
and do well in shallow or heavy soils where longer carrots sometimes fail to 
make attractive roots. Fine for home use. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 45¢; 14 Ib. $1.70.
