Narrative
Synthetic. Medium length, wedge shaped root. Roots develop slowly with a minimum of defects when harvested late in season in Wisconsin. Roots are sweet and excellent quality, fresh or processed. Derived from inbreds of a cross between German Red ('Keiler's Rote') and Royal Chantenay. High in color, uniform in color of phloem and core, and is virtually free of interior and exterior greening in the hypocotyl and upper root areas. Color is equally good in the fresh and processed states. This synthetic variety is one of the first to be made available which is homozygous for the genes for dark orange under middle western conditions. Although yields are not particularly high, the efficiency gained in eliminating processing loss coupled with the superior nature of the processed product makes this variety worthwhile. This variety will also provide a source of pollinators in hybrid carrots being developed.
