The Wild Beet.

Beets were first found growing wild
in sandy soils near the sea in Europe
and western Asia. The wild beet still
found there Is regarded by authority
as the original type. This wild beet
Is slender rooted and has a taste so
different from the beet we know to-
day that one must consider the FIRST
man who tasted one and thought 1t
possible to develop had gifts of hope
and Imagination far beyond ordinary.
The beet has been cultivated since 200
