Is it on the web anywhere? Do you do purple carrots?


Only after a big beetroot salad.


They have an albino carrot....

"White Belgium or Green-topped White (Carotte Blanche a Collet Vert)
By 1852. Not hardy for it becomes "disorganised by the slightest
frost". Originally derived from the old Long White Carrot and used
principally as a stock feeding variety. But having a mild taste also
deserving of a place "at table".

"The largest known; succeeds in soils to strong for the finer
varieties. The leaves are strong and tall; roots very thick, a
considerable portion rising above the surface of the ground, acquiring
a greenish tinge, when exposed to the light. It cooks tender."

750 seeds £1.50p"
