LATIN NAME: Daucus carota

COMMON NAME: Kuroda Carrot

The Kuroda carrot sinks the blunt, orange roots into the fine soil, the ferry, green tops above them, and the whole row stands in the tidy, useful look of the kitchen garden. The fast-growing, biennial herb carries the fine, divided, ferry leaves from the short, blunt, thick, deep-orange roots with the sweet, crisp flesh, and the small, white flowers in the flat-topped umbels, on the tall, branching stalks, through the early summer of the second year, one of the tidy, quiet sights of the kitchen garden, drawing the bees, to be followed by the small, ribbed, bristly seeds. The ribbed seeds have a very long record as the fine, sweet roots of the warm gardens, and the plant is a historic presence of the kitchen garden. It is a plant of the open, sunny, deep, light, well-drained ground.

The Kuroda carrot is a historic subject of the plant science, and the deep-orange roots keep showing up in the work on the root crops. The way the small, white flowers form in the flat-topped umbels has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the root crops, the divided leaves and the members of the carrot family. The ribbed seeds and the tidy habit have also made it a fine study herb, and the Kuroda carrot is a regular subject of the work on the blunt roots of the temperate world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The Kuroda carrot is a tidy, useful plant of the kitchen garden and the study collection. The fine, divided, ferry leaves from the short, blunt, thick, deep-orange roots carry the tidy look of the kitchen garden, one of the tidy, quiet sights of the kitchen garden, drawing the bees, and the ribbed seeds have a very long record as the fine, sweet roots of the warm gardens, the crisp, orange flesh coming to the soups, the juices and the steady practice of the old kitchens, while the small, white flowers in the flat-topped umbels, on the tall, branching stalks, open through the early summer of the second year, to be followed by the small, ribbed, bristly seeds. It is one of the fine choices for the kitchen garden, the root row and the study collection, and it has been written about in the horticultural and the culinary papers for the deep-orange roots and the very long history. It is a tidy, useful plant of the open, sunny, deep, light, well-drained garden.

The Kuroda seeds like a gritty, sandy soil kept lightly moist in a bright spot. The young seedlings are tidy and steady, and they appreciate the deep, loose ground of the root row.

To grow the Kuroda carrot from seed, sow the small, ribbed seeds thinly into the deep pot of gritty, sandy soil, water gently, then keep the pot in a bright, open spot. The seedlings thread up within a couple of weeks, and they grow on steadily. With the sun and the deep, light, loose ground, the blunt orange roots will swell over the year.
