soil, about three feet apart each way. If propagated by 
dividing the roots, it may be done either in fall or spring, 
lanting it at the same distance apart as given above. The 
arge roots of Rhubarb are easily forced, if taken up and 
packed closely together under the stage of a green-house or 
fot be cellar—as no light is necessary for the development of 
e stalk.

much inferior both in appearance and flavor. For a succes- 
sive supply, sow from the middle of March until September, 
at intervals of two or three weeks. For an early supply ther 
may be sown in a hot-bed in February, care being taken to 
give plenty of ventilation, otherwise they will run to leaves.
