I was also under the impression that the white carrots were obtained
by back-breeding and or breeding with the carrot ancestor. You may
be well ahead of the info I have, but you might want to try checking
some of the seed companies detailed in this file in the PLANTS, HERBS
AND SPICES section of my files:
seeds-msg         (51K) 12/21/99    Sources for period plants and seeds.

And certainly if you find more information on these white carrot
seeds I'd love to have it to add to this file.

Have you done this? I have a little information on cosmetics in my
files, but I'd love to have more. A simple message on techniques or
resources would be fine. An article even better. If you only have
a class handout, I have and can work from those.
