The Danvers Orange Half Long (Lan.), and Danvers (Fer. 1883), 
seemed to be synonyms; also Guerande (Greg.), and Guerande Half 
Long Stump Rooted (Vil.), and the Orange Belgian (Vil), and 
Large Yellow Belgian (Sib. 1883.) The Large Short Vosges (Vil.), 
was wrongly named, being the white transparent. The other plant- 
ings seemed distinct, though in several of the half long varieties, 
roots were plentiful that would pass equally well in others. 
We were favorably impressed with the Guerande carrot. The 
roots are half long but very large and quite regular in form. The 
White Green topped d’Orthe is also very productive. _The French 
Horn or Very Early Scarlet Forcing is earliest of the varieties 
tested. This carrot is sold under many other names, among which 
are French Forcing, Early French Forcing, Early French Scarlet 
Forcing, Early Forcing Horn, Earliest. Short Forcing Horn, Early 
Red Short Horn, Earliest Short Horn, Early Frame, Early Short 
Scarlet, Extra Early Forcing, Early Scarlet Forcing, Early French 
Short Horn, ete. 
The experimental plantings of carrot were somuch mixed through 
cross fertilization, as to be useless for the purposes intended.
