Crimson Winter Rhubarb 



This picture shows that Mr. Burbank's new winter rhu- 

 barb retains the characteristic Jorm of the stalk of the ordinary 

 rhubarb, and its general appearance* except that the new form has a more 

 uniform tendency to redness of color. The peculiarity of the new 

 plant here shown is that it puts forth its stalk in the winter 

 at a time when the ordinary rhubarb is dormant. 

 The original plant from which this new 

 variety was developed was imported 

 by Mr. Burbank from 

 New Zealand.
