Comments
This beautiful variety of salad beet, which originally came from England, has an elongated, netted, and slightly enlarged root. Flesh of an intense blood-red color. Contrary to the rule regarding color in leaves of garden beets, the distinctive character of this strain is that the leaver are grayish with rose-colored veins. The excellent qualities of this table beet give it first rank. (Vihnorin.)
