EVERYTHING FOIR THE GARDEM ~ V©s.©tI^Ibl@ Seeds
Oxheart or Guerande Carrot
An excellent sort for the private garden, being especially valuable for spring
and early summer crop. Its short, stocky character gives it great value on
shallow soils, where the larger varieties will not succeed and the compact growing
leaves allow close planting. The quality is excellent; it remains tender long
after maturity, and may be used while very smaU for soups, etc.
It is excellent for growing in frames. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c oz.,
60c. H lb., $2.00 lb.
Henderson's
Danvers Carrot
Our leaflet " GARDEN CULTURE OF
FkOOT CROPS" tells how to grow Car-
rots, sent free on application
Selected
Half' long
A handsome half-long, cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot of good size
and of a rich, dark orange color; it grows to a large size; is smooth, and the
flesh very close in texture with very little core. It is a first-class Carrot for
all soils and has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre, with the smallest length of
root of any now grown. It is more easily harvested than the longer types
and is excellent to store for winter, for stock or table use. (See cut.) Price, 10c.
pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. H lb., $2.00 lb.
Henderson s Coreless Carrot
This Carrot has proven one of the most universally popular varieties ever
sent out. People who never liked Carrots before are delighted with the melt-
ing tenderness and sweet, mild flavor of Henderson's Coreless.
It is a half-long cylindrical Carrot, blunt-pointed, with a small tap-root
and small top. They run very uniform in shape and size, 6 to 7 inches
long, by lj'o inches through; clean skinned, smooth, easily pulled
and keep well. The flesh is of fine texture, entirely devoid of string-
iness, or core. The color of the flesh is the rich red-orange so
attractive when served. Henderson's Coreless excels all other
half-long Carrots in earliness without being inferior to them in
productiveness. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. J4 lb., $3.00 lb.
Henderson's Intermediate Carrot
- A large, handsome, main crop variety, between half-long and long,
with an enormous yielding capacity in deep soils. The root, 10
or 12 inches in length, is very broad at the neck, 2 to 3 inches
through, and tapers evenly to the small tap-root. It grow r s
smoothly and - uniformly and has rich reddish-orange flesh, tender,
sweet and entirely free from woody coarseness even at maturity.
As a table Carrot it is unsurpassed ; for truckers its fine color and
appearance render it salable, while as a field Carrot its great yield
makes it valuable. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 lb., $2.00 lb.
— Chantenay Carrot .
This splendid Carrot belongs to the half -long "stump" or blunt-
rooted type, but differs from all others of this class by its greater
girth, bulk and consequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in
length, is broad at the neck, narrowing gradually to the round,
blunt base, therefore is easily harvested. The flesh, almost free
from core, is of rich orange-red and of the finest table quality;
fine-grained, tender, juicy and delicately flavored. Price, 10c. pkt.,
20c. oz., 60c. . 4 lb., $2.00 lb.
Improved Long Orange Carrot
An improved strain of this popular variety for either garden or
field culture, roots averaging 12 inches in length and 3 inches in
diameter at the top; an enormous yielder and a good keeper. Price,

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
