LONG OR GREATER CHANTENAY 70 
This is a strain of Early Chantenay which resembles the original type 
in all respects except that it averages 1%4 to 2 inches longer. 
DANVERS 73 
Grown largely on account of its great productiveness and adaptability 
to all classes of soil. Tops of medium size, coarsely divided. The 
smooth and handsome roots are deep orange, of medium length, taper- 
ing uniformly to a blunt point; flesh sweet, crisp, tender and of a deep 
orange color. 
HUTCHINSON 75 
A variety that was developed by selection from the Danvers Half Long. 
It has slightly darker orange skin, grows an inch or two longer, but differs 
from the Danvers in that it carries its fullness well down to the end, mak- 
ing it decidedly stump-rooted. A heavy yielder and attractive in appear- 
ance. 
IMPERATOR 77 
Tops medium but strong enough for good bunching. Roots 7 to 8 inches 
long, have sloping shoulders, are smooth, deep rich orange; tapered to a 
semi-blunt end. Flesh rich orange color, extending to center of root with 
indistinct core; fine grained, tender and of fine quality. An excellent 
variety for market garden and shipping. 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE 88 
A heavy cropping sort for garden use, and for stock. Roots tapered to a 
Ne red-orange. Flesh similar in color to exterior, with core of lighter 
shade. 
MORSE’S BUNCHING 77 
Tops short; foliage rather coarsely cut and stems medium size and strong. 
Roots at maturity are 1% to 1% by 8 inches in size, almost cylindrical, 
with rounded shoulders, and are well stumped. 
NANTES HALF LONG OR CORELESS 70 
Tops of medium size, roots cylindrical, smooth, bright orange; flesh 
orange, becoming yellow in center but with no distinct core. Excellent 
for the market or home garden 
OX HEART OR GUERANDE 72 
Tops small for the size of the roots, which are comparatively short, but 
often reach a diameter of 5 inches, terminating abruptly in a small tap 
root. Flesh bright orange, fine grained and sweet. This variety is espe- 
cially desirable for soil so hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would 
not thrive in it. When young, excellent for table use, and when mature 
equally good for stock. 
TOUCHON 70 
Similar to Nantes but a little larger. Small topped, smooth, cylindrical, 
bright orange, core very small and inconspicuous. Well adapted to canning 
and freezing.
