A Sugar Beet Anomaly 



This curious development on a sugar beet plant was found 

 in the field of Mr. W. K. Winterhalter. Its precise character 

 and significance have not been very clearly determined. Mr. Burbank 

 has frequently seen a similar phenomenon in connection with 

 the squash vine, but regards it as very unusual 

 among beets. Puzzles like this present them- 

 selves now and again to add zest to 

 the work of the plant developer.
