Short 5″–6″ (12.5–15 cm) long, large at shoulder. Deep red-orange to center. Abundant erect tops. Heavy producer of fine grained, full-bodied flavor which is sweet and complex. Smooth refined shape. Culture: Seeds are tiny and should be directly sown in garden or raised bed in early spring with just enough soil to anchor them. Loose, fertile soil is best but this variety is suitable for heavier soil. 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: At 70 days they are fine grained, tender, sweet and practically coreless. Excellent for freezing. Nutrition: Low in calories, high in vitamin A.
