RHUBARB, or PIE-PLANT 



Culture. — Fine roots of Rhubarb can be grown easily from seed, w hich 

 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 earljnn the spring, will make a strong growth and yield stalks for mar- 

 ket the following spring, though it is bestnottopull them until the second year.
