Daucus carota (70 days) F-1 hybrid. Satin, a Nantes-Imperator cross, is by far the best white carrot we’ve trialed. Hillary Nelson of Canterbury, NH, says its classic 8" roots are “some of the most perfect looking carrots I’ve grown—straight and long,” with the ideal carrot shape in a pleasing creamy white. Sweet and crunchy when eaten raw, it has none of the wild carrot taste or hairiness typical of other white carrots. When cooked it is sweet and mild with a smooth texture. Develops 1" green shoulders when mature. Medium core. Contains 2% orange off-types. ④

Additional Information
Carrots
500-1,000 seeds/g. Carrots average 18,000 seeds/oz with significant variations among varieties.
Days to maturity are from seeding date.
Culture: Very hardy. Early carrots can be sown by late April. For fall crop or winter storage, seed in early summer. Minimal germination temperature 40°, optimal range 75–85°. Can take up to 3 weeks to germinate; keep rows from drying out for faster emergence. Thinning is critical: At 3" high thin to ½" apart, at 6" thin again to 1-2" apart.
Diseases:
ALTS: Alternaria Leaf Spot
PM: Powdery Mildew
BR: Black Rot
TLS: Target Leaf Spot
LR: Licorice Rot
P: Pythium
ALTS shows up first on the oldest foliage as brown-black spots edged with yellow. Foliage blackens and shrivels as it develops and spreads. Maintaining a good crop rotation is the best preventive.
