Oxheart Or Guerandi Carrots
This is a very desirable sort. The roots are thick and 4 & ½ to 5 inches long, shape slightly resembling an ox's heart, hence the name. This variety grows better than any other in heavy soil, owing to the short root. The flesh is a bright orange, crisp, tender, fine-grained and sweet. An excellent sort for table, and when full grown produces a profitable crop for stock feeding. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (30c per ¼ lb.) ($1.00 per lb.) (10-lb. Lots, 95c per lb.) prepaid. Wholesale price, not prepaid ($80.00 per 100 lbs.).
