Uses Code Days 
IMPERIDA HMS CAYCY 95 
A new shipping type carrot developed by DeLance F. Franklin at the Univer- 
sity of Idaho Branch Experiment Station, Parma, Idaho, from chance cross of 
Imperator X Chantenay Red Core. Tops are definitely shorter than with. 
Imperator, which should be advantageous in shipping and marketing as 
bunched carrots. Although requiring 95 days to reach maturity in Idaho, it 
does not seem to be later than Imperator which, under most favorable condi- 
tions, may be marketed in 77 days. 
ROOTS—Similar to Imperator, level crown, square shouldered, about 14% 
inches in diameter, about 8 inches long; flesh mild, sweet flavor, good 
texture, orange color.
