RHUBARB, or 

 PIE-PLANT 



Culture.— Fine roots of Rhubarb can be 

 grown easily from seed, which should be 

 sown in a shallow drill, using one ounce to 

 125 feet of drill, which will make about 1,000 

 plants. When well started, thin to 10 to 12 

 inches apart. In the fall or early spring they 

 should be transplanted to the permanent 

 bed, standing 3 feet apart in the row and 

 with rows from 4 to 6 feet apart. The stalks 

 should not be gathered until the plants have 

 had a second full season's growth. 



If it is preferred to purchase roots, they 

 can be had, and, if planted in good soil early 

 in the spring, will make a strong growth and 

 yield stalks for market the following spring, 

 though it is best not to pull them until the 

 White Strasburg Radish second year.
