of about %4-inch just where the root begins to taper to the tip.

crown is flat without a depression. The roots are smooth and 
attractive in appearance.

IMPERATOR. (77 days.) This variety of carrot has been 
especially bred and developed to meet the increasing demand 
on the market for a longer carrot. The roots range from 7 to 
8 inches in length, with a shoulder diameter of 144 to 1% 
inches. The roots are smooth, uniformly tapered to a semi- 
blunt end, deep rich orange color, both exterior and interior 
with comparatively inconspicuous core. The flesh is of rich 
orange color, extending to the center of the root, with an in- 
distinct core; fine grained, tender and of excellent quality. 
The tops are of medium size, but strong enough for good bunch- 
ing. For shipping quality, attractiveness and popularity in 
the market, Kilgore’s Bred-Rite strain of Imperator is superior 
to other long-rooted varieties.

left to right: Imperator, Nantes (Coreless), Danvers Half Long, 
Red Core Chantenay, Chantenay. 
RED CORE CHANTENAY. (72 days.) This is an improved 
type of Chantenay. The roots are tapered, less stump rooted, 
and slightly longer than the old Chantenay, averaging about 6 
inches. The interior is solid orange colored without the usual 
lemon color in the core. The flesh is very tender and sweet, 
which with the excellent outside color and shape combines to 
make this variety exceptionally valuable for the market. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 4 Ib. 60c; 1 Ib. $2.00 
NANTES (CORELESS, TOUCHON). (70 days.) We have 
the true type, which is long and cylindrical, about 54% to 644 
inches long and 1 to 14% inches thick, very stump rooted with a 
small rat tail. The color is clear orange-red and the core is 
rather undefined, being of the same color as the flesh so that it 
is called “Coreless.” The tops are small and short, but heavier 
than ordinary stocks of Nantes, and the root is very fine- 
grained, tender, delicate, sweet, and of highest edible quality. 
An oe high quality variety for the home garden and local 
market.

true thick-shouldered strain of Long Orange, 134 to 2 inches 
thick at the shoulders, 10 to 12 inches long, and pointed or 
rather tapering in a straight line to the tip. The tops are 
rather large. A very popular variety in many sections of Flor- 
ida where a very smooth, attractive, reddish-colored, long rooted 
carrot is desired.
