Ornamental 
Foliaged Beet. 
A very interesting species for decoration 
of borders in the flower garden. The 
thick fleshy ribs are beautifully coloured 
either yellow, crimson, cream, or white, 
and the contrast with the metallic leafage 
is very effective. 
Price Is. 6d. and Is. per packet.

pot plant for table decoration, it is effective. The roots are edible. 
In sealed packets, Is. 6d. per packet.
