No. 14. DANVERS, Per., '83, '84; Greg., '87; Hen.; Thor., '85, '87. 
Syn. Danvers Orange Half Long, Land., '84, '85. 
A strain of the Half Long Pointed carrot extensively grown about 
Danvers Mass., and in some other localities. It appears closely allied 
to the English variety, James' Intermediate, but as grown at the 
Station has not seemed well fixed, as the roots were sometimes blunt 
and sometimes pointed. It is considerably longer than the Half Long 
Pointed, and hence more productive, while easier to dig than the Long 
Orange. 
Well figured in Gardening for Profit, (ed. 1887) p. 172.
