223 Burpee’s Oxheart Carroto 
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 5% 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 and busheling rather than bunching.
