This year particularly a vegetable garden is an economic 

 necessity. It will considerably reduce the weekly food bill 

 and what is of far greater importance the home garden supplies 

 fresh tender produce of a quality unknown to the buyer of 

 "store" vegetables. The work too, is pleasant and healthful 

 and if intelligently arranged the garden can be kept producing 

 nearly all year. 



RHUBARB Ruibarho ' s *- 



Rhubarbe, Fr. IXXT. \U Di-^IXO Rhabarber, Ger. 



One ounce of seed to 125 feet of drill. 



Culture — Good plants are easily grown in any good garden 

 soil. Sow seed thinly in shallow drills 1 foot apart, thin to 4 or 5 

 inches. Keep soil loose and free from weeds. The plants are liable 

 to vary considerably. 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.
