CHANTENAY LONG TYPE HMC 72 
Greater Chantenay 
As the name implies, this is truly a long rooted carrot of Chantenay type. Now used 
extensively for the production of “bushel” carrots for dicing or processing. 
ROOTS—7 to 7% inches long, 2 inches in diameter. Slightly tapered, smooth, blunt, 
with small tap root. Red-orange color, indistinct core. Tender. 
CHANTENAY RED CORE HMC 70 
A superior strain of the old Chantenay, more desirable for canners, soup manufacturers, 
and quick freezers, principally because of the fine textured root with deep reddish 
orange core which is indistinctly separated from the cortex. Blocky shape permits grow- 
ing on many types of soil, and assures processors a high percentage of perfect dices. 
ROOTS—5 to 5% inches long, 214 inches in diameter at the shoulder, slightly tapered, 
and blunt. Very smooth and uniform shape, with deep orange color. 
DANVER’S HALF LONG HM 75 
A leading main crop storage variety, also used extensively for bunching and for home 
gardeners. 
ROOTS—6 & to 7 inches long, 2 inches in diameter at the shoulder, tapering to a blunt 
end, with a small, slender tap root. Bright orange, with lighter-colored 
core; tender, and crisp. 
GOLD SPIKE MS 78 
A long rooted carrot of Imperator type but with much shorter top, which is a consider- 
able advantage in shipping and marketing bunched carrots. 
IMPERATOR LONG TYPE NS) rece 
A high quality variety that has become the 
leader for production in Southern and 
Western areas for year-round shipment to 
market. Also used by some local market 
gardeners where soil is deep and loose. 
ROOTS—9 to 10 inches long, with slightly 
rounded shoulders. 1 to 1% 
inches in diameter, tapering 
smoothly to a pointed tip. Rich 
orange throughout, crisp, and 
sweet. Probably the most attrac- 
tive of all carrot varieties when 
properly grown.
