White and red (and shades thereof) were the norm for carrots colors in the 
MA, SFAIK. The orange carrot is a relatively modern invention. Most good seed 
houses carry white carrot seed as well as red and purple varieties. These 
offerings are most often found under the category 'Novelties'.

Since red forms were available I seriously doubt that beets were a factor.
