A splendid maincrop carrot, producing long, pointed roots. Its fine colouring and excellent flavour make this one of the most appetising of carrots. Ideal for keeping. Grows well in any open position on light, rich soil which has not been recently manured.

Sow:

Thinly from March-August half-inch (1.5cm) deep in rows 1ft (30cm) apart. Repeat every two weeks for continuous crops. Thin out to 4in (10cm) apart and water well to replace any soil dislodged from roots.

Harvest:

June-October. Provided that they are not damaged, main-crop carrots can be stored over winter. Simply remove foliage at the crown, brush all soil from the roots and place in boxes of dry sand. Ideal for deep freezing.
