Chantenay
(Long type) 70 days. This is a distinct improvement over the well know Chantenay especially in color, texture and quality of flesh and has been accepted with much enthusiasm particularly by shippers of fresh vegetables and by canners. Roots deep reddish-orange; 6 ½ to 7 inches long, 2 ¼ inches thick at the shoulder. Tapered, stump rooted, core reddish-orange, almost the same color as the flesh and so inconspicuous as to make the term coreless seem appropriate; flesh fine grained and tender, of sweet delicate flavor.

Coreless Chantenay
This new strain of Chantenay is quite free from the ordinary yellow core, and while the type is not entirely fixed, it is an improvement over the old type as regards core. On account of its tenderness, it is superior to the usual Chantenay, and promises to become one of the leading varieties as soon as it is better known to growers. It is particularly attractive to canners and market gardeners, generally bringing a better price on the market due to its fine dark red center.

Guerande or Oxheart
Especially desirable for soil so hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would not thrive in it. The tops are comparatively small. The mature roots are 4 ½ to 5 inches long, very thick, ending abruptly in a small tap root. The flesh is bright orange, fine grained and sweet. When young the roots are desirable for table use as a medium early carrot and when mature they are especially good for stock feeding.

Pre-eminently the Carrot for the market gardeners for home use. It is beautiful in shape, and its table qualities are unsurpassed.
