late sorts and are not adapted to plant- 

 ing in the south, where early potatoes 

 are the main crop; neither are they 

 adapted to planting at the north, for 

 they will not produce a satisfactory 

 yield. 



"They are not adapted to our soils, 

 or to our climate, and will not yield 

 profitable crops; but the danger of 

 introducing diseases not now present is 

 sufficient reason for refusing to plant 

 them."

FORCING RHUBARB. 



I am thinking of setting a bench 

 with pie plant. Will it do all right 

 with carnations? Will it be best to 

 make a bed on the ground or in a 

 bench six or eight inches from the 

 ground, with heating pipes by the side 

 of the bench? What kind of fertilizer 

 should be used and what is the best 

 variety of pie plant? At what time 

 of the year should it be put in the 

 house? Will roots that have grown in 

 a garden all summer be all right for 

 use the following winter? If not, 

 where could I get roots? The climate 

 here, in northwestern Oregon, is warm 

 and rainy in winter, but with little 

 sunshine. The thermometer rarely reg- 

 isters as low as 10 or 12 degrees above 

 zero. A. H. B. 



You can force rhubarb either on 

 raised or solid beds, it does not matter 

 which. It will do well in a carnation 

 temperature, but better if a little 

 warmer after being well started. Mam- 

 moth Victoria and Linnaeus are prob- 

 ably the best varieties. 



Select only good, strong clumps from 

 a field 2 years old or more — not 

 younger than that, or they are not 

 strong enough. Lift the clumps with 

 some soil in the fall, just before the

ground freezes up, and store them in a 

 shed where they will be available any 

 time a batch is wanted. Perhaps in 

 your climate you could go outside and 

 dig them any time they are wanted, 

 which would be better. 



When taken inside, the clumps are 

 packed close together; some fine soil is 

 put in between and on top and they 

 are watered well the first time, but 

 not too freely for a while afterwaitd. 

 Eegular rhubarb houses are usually 

 dark and made of lumber. The plants 

 are often grown under carnation 

 benches, along the edges, but a bed by 

 itself is undoubtedly better. More 

 clumps are brought in when one lot 

 becomes exhausted. 



It would be advisable to try the ex- 

 periment on a small scale first. It is 

 not too late yet to put in a few clumps 

 and get some experience. H. G.
