The roots of the common beet {Beta vulgaris L., order Chenopodiacece),and particularly the exhausted residue from the beet-sugar factories, areused both as cattle foods and as adulterants of chicory. HISTOLOGY. The Cork (Fig. 320) forms a thin outer zone of large cells with thickwalls. By far thelarger part of the rootconsists of Parenchyma(Fig. 321, p), the cellsof which are about250 ^ in diameter, withwalls 5 /J. thick.
