CARROT, Continued 
Nantes Stump-rooted: Can be used for frame culture but is principally 
used as an early outdoor kind. Practically coreless, bright orange 
red. Roots 6 to 7 inches long, 1% inch thick, cylindrical, stump 
rooted. A high quality variety. 
Nantes Strong-top: In every way similar to Nantes stump-rooted ex- 
cept that the tops are not so brittle or likely to break when being 
pulled or bunched. 
Touchon: A very high quality Carrot of Nantes type but a little longer 
and has more intense coloring. Deep orange throughout, core- 
less. Roots 6% to 71% inches long. 1% inch thick. 
Bunching Types 
Imperator: The leading market and shipping variety. Needs good deep 
loamy soil to attain its best development. Ideal for bunching, 
practically coreless, fine orange red color. Roots about 8 inches 
long, tapering to a semi-blunt end when fully developed. 
Imperator Long: Similar to above but rather longer and a little 
broader; 9 to 10 inches long, 11 to 2 inches broad at shoulder. Of 
real use where soil is deep enough to take it. Very heavy cropper.
