Tried and true American heirloom. One of the best home garden carrots. The traceable history of the carrot spans 5000 years. Evidence has been dug up that this relative of wildflower Queen Anne's lace originated in Afghanistan. The modern carrot came into being thanks to the efforts of the French and Dutch. The Danvers carrot was developed in 1871 in Massachusetts. Danvers Carrots are deep orange, and short-- about 6 to 8 inches long. The roots are broad at the top and tapered. This photo is from an 1895 Joseph Breck and Sons seed catalog out of Boston, MA.
