analyses did not represent the beets as they stood in the 
field. 
For the purpose of this bulletin, the State has been 
divided into five sections. 
1. The valley of the South Platte and its tributaries. 
2. The Divide, south of Denver where crops are raised 
without irrigation. 
3. The valley of the Arkansas. 
4. The valley of the Grand. 
5. The San Luis Valley. 
Under each section the samples are given in the order 
of time that the beets were dug, since it is found that this 
factor has been more powerful than any other in determin- 
ing the quality of the beets. 
All the seed used was Kleinwanzlebener except the 
samples double starred which are Vilmorin and those 
starred which are Imperial White.
