Use and Winter Storing 
A cellar full of stored vegetables, of just the 
right size, is not only a good investment, but 
also a treat. Stored vegetables are healthier 
than canned vegetables.

freedom from hard fibre until the beets attain 
full size. It is considered one of the best for 
winter storing. The roots grow 3 to 4 inches in 
diameter. They are smooth and attractive. 
The flesh is deep blood red, tender, and of rich flavor.
