223 Burpee’s Oxheart Carrot O 
753 days. Splendid midseason carrot, which may be used while the roots are still small. If al- 
lowed to. mature, the broad, stocky, heart-shaped carrots will measure 5 to 51% 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 often 
fail to make attractive roots. Fine for home use and busheling rather than bunching.
