RHUBARB. 



Rhabarber, Ger. Rhubarbe, Fr. Ruibarbo, Sr>. 



One ounce of seed will pod uce about 1,000 



plants. 



Culture. — Good plants are easily grown in any 

 good garden soil. Sow seed thinly in shallow drills a 

 foot apar 1 . ; thin to 4 or 5 inches. Keep soil loose and 

 free from weeds. The plants are liable to vary con- 

 siderably. Pick out the strongest and best. In fall 

 or spring following, transplant to the permanent bed 4 

 feet apart each way, in deep, warm and very rich soil.. 

 The more manure the better stalks. For winter forc- 

 ing take up two-year roots in fall, leave out to freeze, 

 then bed close together on cellar bottom or under 

 greenhouse bench in the dark.
