DANVERS HALF LONG. (75 days.) Our stock of this variety 
is half stump or semi-pointed, from 6 to 7 inches in length 
from the crown to the tip. The shoulder at the crown is from 
14% to 1% inches thick, and tapers uniformly to a thickness 
of about 34-inch just where the root begins to taper to the tip. 
The tops are a little larger than those of Chantenay, and the 
crown is flat without a depression. The roots are smooth and 
attractive in appearance. 
Pkt. 10c; 0z. 20c; 4 Ib. 50c; 1 Ib. $1.75 
5 to 25 Ibs. $1.65 per Ib. 
IMPERATOR. (77 days.) The roots range from 7 to 8 inches 
in length, with a shoulder diameter of 114 to 134 inches, 
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 indistinct core; fine grained, 
tender and of excellent quality. The tops are of medium size, 
but strong enough for good bunching. For shipping quality, 
attractiveness and popularity in the market, Kilgore’s Bred- 
Rite strain of Imperator is superior to other long-rooted 
varieties.

Imperator Carrot 
Developed to meet the need for a better market type. 
Comparison of root characteristics of carrot varieties. From 
left to right: Imperator, Nantes (Coreless), Danvers Half Long, 
Red Core 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. 20c; 14 Ib. 50c; 1 Ib. $1.75 
5 to 25 Ibs. $1.65 per Ib. 
NANTES (Coreless, Touchon). (70 days.) We have the true 
type, which is long and cylindrical, about 5% to 614 inches 
long and | to 11% 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 excellent high quality variety for the home garden and 
local market.

LONG ORANGE, IMPROVED. (86 days.) Our stock is the 
true thick-shouldered strain of Long Orange, 134 to 2 inches 
thick at the shoulders. 10 to 12 inches long, and tapering in a 
straight line to the tip. The tops are rather large. Popular in 
sections of Florida where a smooth, reddish-colored, long- 
rooted carrot is desired.
