Publisher Description:
This special re-print edition of US Dept of Agriculture's book "Descriptions of Types of Principal Varieties of Orange Fleshed Carrots" is a guide to orange fleshed carrot varieties that were popularly grown in gardens and on farms during the early 20th century. Written in 1940, this classic text provides insight into dozens of orange fleshed carrots that are now considered to be heirloom or heritage varieties, including Danvers types, French Forcing Carrots, Imperator type carrots, Long Orange varieties, Nantes varieties, Oxhearts, Chantenays and Scarlet Horns. Included are details on the advantages and characteristics of each type, as well as their numerous varieties. Lavishly illustrated with vintage photographs showing the different varieties. Quite possibly the only book of its kind. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
