Table 14. 

 This Table shows beet depicted on Table 10 under No. 2, but photographed on 

 21 ^' September. In this case, the deficiency of Potash had all but reacTied its 

 highest effect. The beet does not form any more leaves of the customary broad 

 form, but long narrow, lanceolate, somewhat spindle-like twisted leaves, mostly 

 of a very tender nature. These leaves also become finally brown in the same way 

 as always happens where Potash is iacHcing, often only quicker, and brown spots 

 develop on the leaf stalk. If these leaves grow fairly large, as is the case here, 

 the beet may remain alive even as a weakly nourished plant until the normal 

 harvest time; if the leaves are very small the beet dies prematurely. 



In the latter case, the beet assumes a brown colour, beginning at the head, and 

 rots very quic"kly. 



See under Table 10 for the yield.
