Danvers
In the town of Danvers, Mass., the raising of carrots on an extensive scale has for years been quite a business – the farmers find a large market in the neighboring cities of Salem, Lynn and Boston. After years of experimenting they settled upon a variety which originated among them (as did the Danvers Onion), known in their locality as the “Danvers Carrot.” it is in form about midway between the Long Orange and Short Horn class, growing generally with a stump root. The great problem in carrot growing is to get the greatest bulk with the smallest length of root, and this is what the Danvers growers have attained in their carrot. Under their cultivation they raise from twenty to thirty tons to the acre, and at times even larger crops. This carrot is of a rich dark orange in color, very smooth and handsome, and from its length is easier to dig than the Long Orange. It is a first-class carrot for any soil. The seed I offer is from carefully selected stock. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 40c; lb., mail, $1.25; lb., exp, $1.10

Guerande Half-long Stump-Rooted
Intermediate as to length between the Scarlet Horn and the Short Horn. It is thicker at the neck than the latter and as will be seen by the engraving carries its thickness well down towards the bottom. The crop can be pulled by hand. It has proved very productive near the sea-shore and remarkably fine specimens have been sent me by those who have grown it in various parts of the United States. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; ¼ lb., 50c; lb., mail, $1.50; lb., exp, $1.35.
