In the town of Danvers, Mass., the raising of carrots on an extensive scale has for years been quite a business, the farmers finding a large market in the neighboring cities of Sa- lem, Lynn, and Boston. After years of experi- menting they settled upon a variety which originated among them (as did the Danvers onion), known in their locality as the "Dan- vers ; It is in form about midway be- tween the Long Orange and Short Horn class, growing on light soils generally with a stump root.
