Saint Valery

A proper heirloom variety from the region near St Valery in Northern France. Neat straight long carrots tapering to a fine point, with a good flavour

Really old! Vilmorin’s gardening book of 1883 (pictured) even then described it as a famous old heirloom with “great productiveness & at the same time a fine, regular shape, & thick, sweet, tender flesh.”
