PLEASE..can someone help me.

I have been asked by a friend overseas to find carrot seeds with the following description which she has seen in California in supertmarkets. Of course I said yes!!

They are very long, fat blunt ended carrotts grown in California.

Now I am not a carrot expert and have my favourites but I am searchin the net to find a variety that is both long ,fat and blunt ended.

I have found lots of long tapered ones and lots of short fat ones but am coming up short on the combination.

Allowing for the fact that what is in a supermarket is probably not available could someone help me as to a variety that may come close .

I understand that California is a big carrot growing state.

Fingers crossed.
