What does the number "2" refer to in, eg, Autumn King 2 carrot? Or 3, 4, or more in other vegetable seed descriptions.

Usually, it means that it is the 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th) in a series of varieties bred for similar edible parts, but with different ripening times, or different climate or soil tolerances. Most useful for farmers trying to time their plantings for market conditions, or their local situation, but many such varieties have bled out into the home gardening market--sometimes with the numbers, sometimes without!
