Rhubarb, or Pie Plant. 



Rhubarb, familiarly known as Pie Plant, or Wine Plant, is cultivated in 



gardens for its leaf stalks which are stewed and also used for pies and tarts. 



Immense quantities are now annually sold in all of the large markets. Xo 



private garden should be without It. 



CrxTURE— Rhubarb succeeds best in 



deep, somewhat retentive soil and the richer 



this is and the deeper it is stirred, the better. 



Sow in drills an inch deep and thin out the 



plants to six inches apart. In the fall, trans- 

 plant into very highly manured and deeply 



stirred soil, setting them four to six feet apart 



each way and give a dressing of coarse m.a- 



nure every spring. The stalks should not be 



plucked until the second year and the plant 



never allowed to exhaust itself by running 



to seed. Our seed is saved from selected 



plants of the Linneeus. Victoria. Giant and 



other improved sorts, but like the seeds of 



fruit trees, rhubarb seed cannot be relied 



upon to reproduce the same varieties.
