Thts relative of the beet is not vera well known in Amer- 

 ican gardens in general; but it has been given much attention 

 in recent years bg Mr. Burbank. The specimens in his garden, as wilt

 growth; bat Iheg are still undergoing development. It 

 is only in recent gears that Mr. Burbank has 

 given the chards especial attention.
