Home garden favorite, dependable, heavy yielding. Carrot matures in 75 days. The root is 7″-7¾” (18–19 cm) long, slightly tapered with a blunt end. Color – bright orange. Very sweet with good flavor, fine grained and tender. Culture: Carrots do best in sandy, well limed soil. Prepare soil so that it is very loose. This variety is preferred where deep cultivation is difficult. Sow thinly, ½” (1.25 cm) deep, and cover with light soil. Firm soil with back of hoe. Easy to establish in raised beds. Thinning is a must for all root crops. Try snipping the tops of unwanted plants, as this action will not disturb the root of carrots left to mature. Harvest: 75 days. Nutrition: Low in calories, high in vitamin A.
