CHANTENAY HMS CABAL 70 
The most dependable and popular carrot. Excellent early market bunching 
sort and widely used for winter storage and home gardens. 
ROOTS—5 to 54% inches long, 2% inches in diameter at the shoulders, slightly 
tapered, stump-rooted, very smooth and uniform shaped, deep orange 
ad Its shape adapts it to growing and harvesting on fairly heavy 
soils. 
CHANTENAY LONG TYPE HMC CARPU 72 
As the name implies, this is truly a long Chantenay type carrot now used 
extensively for the production of “bushel” carrots for dicing or processing.

stump-rooted, small tap root, red-orange color, indistinct core, 
tender, of high quality and excellent flavor. 
CHANTENAY RED CORE (Picture on Page 38) MC CARRO 70 
A superior strain of Chantenay, more desirable for canners, soup manufac- 
turers and quick freezers, principally because of its indistinct reddish orange 
core, finer texture, and superb quality. Similar in size and shape to regular

sures a high percentage of perfect dices in the cutting and processing.
