DANVERS HALF LONG. (75 days.) Our stock of this 
variety is half stump or semi-pointed, from 6 to 7 inches

the crown is from 1% 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 at- 
tractive in appearance.

LONG IMPERATOR. (77 days.) The roots average 
about 10 inches in length, with a shoulder diameter of 
14%4 to 1% 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 Long Imperator is su- 
perior to other long-rooted varieties.

RED CORE CHANTENAY. (72 days.) 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 valuable for the market.

NANTES. (70 days.) Cylindrical, roots about 54% to 64 
inches long and 1 to 1% 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, deli- 
cate, sweet and of highest edible quality. An excellent 
high quality variety for the home garden and local 
market.
