176 CALIFORNIA VEGETABLES. 



Varieties. Two varieties have been widely distributed 

 in California: the White French and the Red Brazilian. 

 The white kind is preferred for table use and the red is 

 chosen for field growth for stock, as it is believed to be 

 rather more vigorous and prolific. The red variety is, 

 however, frequently found in our vegetable markets and is 

 acceptable for table use.
