RHUBARB, or PIE PLANT. 



(3t&abarber.) 



Used for making pies and sauces. Coming very early in spring, it 

 is a very acceptable substitute for fruit. Sow the seed early, and when 

 the plants are large enough, thin them to 4 or 5 inches apart. The next 

 spring or fall transplant them 3 feet apart each way in deep, rich soil. 

 For forcing, take up some large roots and place them in a dark corner 

 of the cellar or greenhouse.
