223 Burpee’s Oxheart Carrot 
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 31% in. across where they 
are thickest; this gives a large amount of edible flesh, which is light 
orange, tender, sweet, 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. It is a good cropper and keeper.
