Source For Candy Stick Carrot?
 

Does anyone know of an online source for Candy Stick carrot? Reimer's is out-of-stock (never used them, though - I've heard some conflicting reports about them).

Yep. I was afraid of that! It seems like this awesome little carrot has disappeared.:evil:

Oh no it has not! -

More varieties of carrot than I have ever seen in one place - they categorize them by color, LOL. Other than that I know nothing about the company.

Search hint when you are looking for a particular variety - search for "carrot seed" - no quotes - then search within the results (Link is at the bottom of the first search result page in text only at Google) for "Candy Stick."

Thanks, Granny! Unfortunately, Reimer has been out-of-stock on this carrot forever. Not sure why they still have it in their online catalog.

Hunter - did a more exhaustive search for the little dickens. Here's what I found out -
[INDENT][B]Candy Stick[/B] (PS140595 [BB]) - Breeder: R. Maxwell. Vendor: Seminis/Petoseed. Characteristics: peeler, Caropak maturity, smooth exterior color, excellent tops. Similar: Caropak. Adaptation: California. 1998.

[/INDENT]Seminis is the worldwide vendor of the seeds & they do not sell to home gardeners. US distribution was through NK (Walmart carries them I believe) but they do not sell anything online. I did go through all of the other folks on the list Seminis puts out of those who distribute their seeds in the US - no joy there either. I suspect that this particular carrot is now "old" and has been replaced with more recent hybrids. You might try contacting Seminis directly - [url]http://www.seminis.com/contact.jsp[/url]

Other than that, I guess you'll have to find a new favorite carrot and have provided a good learning experience for all of us: you find something you really love, let at least a few go to seed!

Granny-
Wow! Thanks for all of your research on this! Much appreciated!
