Author Description

Excerpt from Young and Halstead, Troy, N. Y. Seeds, 1903 Since the introduction of this valuable and distinct American Carrot a few years ago, it has rapidly grown in popularity, -until now it is more largely grown than any other. The strain was selected and perfected by a market gardener of Connecticut, under whose care the carrots attained such uniform shape that they are almost duplicates of each other. It is earlier than the Danvers, about the same length, but heavier and thicker at the shoulders, making it more productive. The leaves are also shorter.
