CARROT Planting stocks are developed at our breeding stations from individual progenies which have met the most exacting specifications in performance. Smoothness and shapeliness of roots with depth of exterior and interior color are vital factors in rating parent lines. In giving the number of days for the development of roots, we have used the average of readings for a period of years. These will vary considerably in different locations.
