Excerpt from Synonymy of Orange-Fleshed Varieties of Carrots Much of the material for this circular was compiled from large scale carrot-variety tests conducted at the Cheyenne Horticultural Field Station, Cheyenne, Wyo., from 1932 to 1946. Varieties for these tests were collected from all countries where commercial carrot-seed production is an important industry and consequently where new varieties originate and old ones continue to be propagated. An effort has been made to obtain all types and varieties listed in commercial trade channels. So far as known, not over a half-dozen well-known or standard varieties were omitted from the tests; practically all of those omitted are varieties grown in northern Europe and not widely known elsewhere. Their principal characteristics and most probable synonymy as obtained from printed descriptions and illustrations are given; the interpretations were checked by authorities on European carrot varieties. This circular is designed to be used as a handbook, and all varieties, strains, and synonyms are list-cd in alphabetical-order in an index, which gives the groups and the figure numbers as well as the page numbers. In each standard subgroup and in each group in which there are no subgroups the type variety is described first and then the strains and synonyms are discussed in alphabetical order. In the other subgroups the. Alphabetical order is followed. In the synopsis the lists are alphabetical under each group or subgroup.
