As only the tops are used, this diff'ers from the table varieties 

 of beets. Like spinach, it is valuable as summer greens, and the 

 succulent stalks and midribs may be prepared in the same way 

 as asparagus. The plants are cultivated like beets except that 

 they should be thinned to 8 or 10 inches apart. If only the outer 

 leaves are gathered, the inner leaves will continue to grow, and 

 repeated pickings can be made.

 somewhat waved but smooth, and of a medium hght 

 yellowish-green. The stalks are broad and flattened but
