226 Nantes Half Long Carrot 
70 days. Also known as Coreless. The handsome, half- 
long, well-shaped orange roots grow 6 to7 in. long and 
are perfectly cylindrical, being from 1 to 1% in. thick, 
the whole length ending abruptly ina small, thin tail. 
They are of delicious flavor, fine grained, tender,

223 Burpee’s Oxheart 
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 514 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 some 
times fail to make attractive roots. Fine for home use and busheling 
rather than bunching. Pkt.10¢; 1, 0z.25¢; oz. 40¢; 14]b. $1.50. 
Carrots may be served in many ways—cooked alone; used in soups, 
stews, chowders with other vegetables or cooked with roasts. Serve as 
a relish when chilled and cut lengthwise in slender strips. Splendid 
when shredded and used in salads. ‘Refreshing appetizer when served 
as chilled juice.

and 2 in. thick at the shoulder, slightly tapering to a point. Of uniform 
size, with heautiful deep orange skin and bright orange-red flesh. A superb 
carrot for those having a deep, rich, mellow soil. A heavy cropper and a

290 Burpee’s Celtuce belongs to the lettuce family but is en- 
tirely different in its growth and uses. When plants are young, the 
leaves may be used as lettuce or as boiling ‘“‘greens,”’ but its chief 
value is its central stem or stalk. Whether Celtuce stalks are to 
be eaten raw or cooked, you remove the lower leaves (see stalks 
at left) and then cut off all the outer skin and fibrous layers down 
to where they become light green and tender (see cross-section of 
stalk at far left). Cooked celtuce stalks have a pleasing, mild 
flavor. Young leaves have 4 times the Vitamin C content of head- 
lettuce leaves. Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 35¢; 14 oz. 65¢; oz. $1.25. 
Celenriac 
(Turnip-Rooted Celery) 
293 Giant Prague 120 days. The edible por- 
tion is the large, thick root, which should be 
used when it has grown about 2 in. across. 
Celeriac has a flavor similar to Celery and is 
highly valued boiled or used in vegetable soup, 
stews, and other dishes. It grows best in a 
moderately moist yet well-drained soil, which 
is fairly rich in barnyard manure. Grow as 
you would celery except that it does not re- 
quire hilling or blanching. Roots may be 
stored in moist earth or sand, as you would 
beets and carrots, and used throughout the 
winter. Seed crop is very short. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 50¢; oz. 90¢.
