Comments
Among the varieties of beets rejected by the sugar industry the Giant White is remarkable for its regular form, its great productiveness, good quality, and long keeping. Its growth is rapid and vigorous, its roots long and of oval shape, with a green collar just above the ground, the flesh firm and sweet. Owing to the fact that it is easily pulled, together with its many other good qualities, it makes a valuable food for cattle during the latter part of the winter. (Vilmorin.)
