BURBANK'S RHUBARB. 



"Will you kindly let us know if you 

 have had any experience with Burbank's 

 Crimson Winter Ever-bearing rhubarb? 

 Have yon ever forced it or do you know

 where we could buy it? Do you know if 

 it is all right, or better than our old 

 rhubarb? H. S. P.

 rhubarb spoken of and do not know any

 be able to give us the information 

 wanted? W. S. Croydon.
