Crisp carrot with a blunt end, slim well shaped orange roots 6" to 7" long, cylindrical, 1" to 1.5" thick. Heirloom variety.
Culture: Sow 1/2" deep and cover with light soil. Keep moist until seeds sprout. Does well in raised beds of soilless growing medium. 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 fin grained, tender, sweet, and practically coreless. Excellent for freezing.
Nutrition: Low in calories, high in vitamin A.
