PLATE 15. Hints on the Growth of Rhubarb and Seakale. 

 Figs. 1 and 2 are suggested methods for forcing rhubarb 

 and seakale. Propagate rhubarb plants by cutting up the 

 stools (Fig. 3) and planting them just below the level of the 

 ground (Fig. 4). Fig. 5 represents a root of seakale with 

 the thong-like rootlets, whilst Fig. 6 shows how the rootlets 

 should be potted. Figs. 7 and 8 show the correct and incorrect 

 way of binding lettuces.
