Daucus carota Item #3016 65 days. The Danvers carrot was developed during the late nineteenth century in Massachusetts; it worked wonderfully interplanted with onions and grew particularly well in the heavy soils because of its higher fiber content than Nantes type carrots. Wonderful flavor. Very resistant to cracks and splits. Strong tops make harvesting easy. This packet sows four 10-foot rows.
