Comments
The number of semisugar beets discarded by the sugar industry and used for forage is becoming greater. This new variety has been produced from the old grayish rose-colored beets of northern France. It is large, of long oval form, a regular, well-formed root, easily pulled, and producing a good yield it is also noted for its good quality and excellent keeping. This variety, with the giant white semisugar, is to be recommended, as the reports from growers place it above all other forage beets. (Vilmorin.)
