Amsterdam
- Amsterdam’s slender tapered 6–7"
roots are longer, less stubby and
develop better color at a younger
stage than Minicor’s. Ideal for
succession plantings of baby carrots
throughout the summer, provided they
are given adequate moisture. Not
particularly sweet but with a
carroty sharpness that leaves a
pleasant minty taste sensation.
Crisp and tender with a small core.
Scarlet Nantes
- This old-time favorite Nantes
variety with bright orange roots
averaging 6–7" proves that good
quality is not always expensive.
Sweet with a small dark core.
Received a high overall score in the
2005 Oregon State University trials.
Danvers
- The original Danvers Half-Long was
developed by market gardeners in
Massachusetts in 1871. This modern
refinement features 7" conical
orange roots that taper to a point.
Easier to grow in heavy soils than
the longer more refined types.
Broader at the top and more fibrous
than the Nantes varieties so
outstanding for cooking and winter
storage.
Little Finger
- This French variety makes
delightful baby gourmet carrots!
Its tiny roots grow only 3 - 5
inches, with a wonderful, deep
orange color.
Amarrillo -
A delicious yellow variety that is
able to withstand dry conditions.
The tapered roots have large
shoulders and strong tops.
Distinctive, sweet flavor!
Bambino
– An excellent choice for baby
gourmet carrots. The cylindrical,
blunt roots have a very small core,
smooth skin, and are deep orange in
color. Good choice for canning and
pickling. Harvest when the roots
are 4 inches or smaller for optimum
quality. |
