KELLY GARDENS. SPOKANE, WASHINGTON 
RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 
The large, fleshy stalks filled with 
pleasantly acid juice and used the year 
around. It is the universal favorite dur- 
ing the spring as a substitute for fruit, 
and its medicinal properties are well 
known. Peeled, sliced, packed in jars, 
cover with cold water and seal, it keeps 
nidefinitely. Its season is lengthened by 
enterprising growers by digging the 
roots which are two years old or more 
in late fall, allowing to freeze thoroughly, 
and when frozen, set in dugout, cellar, 
furnace pit, under the greenhouse 
lienches, or most any place where suffi- 
cient soil can be placed around the roots, 
1 cpt moist and dark at a temoerature of 
about 45 to 55 degrees. Grown in this 
manner, the quality is superb, without 
much leaves or epidermis. The market 
.^'rower will find this means of propaga- 
tion very profitably, with scarcely any 
limit to the demand, being offered at a 
time when fruits and vegetables are 
scarce. The rhubarb is so easy of cul- 
ture that no directions seem needed. It 
is so hardy that it will grow under the 
most unfavorable conditions, yet no plant 
responds better to high culture. It is a gross feeder of animal manures with suf- 
ficient moisture to liquify. In a word, no garden is complete without this easy- 
growing and profitable plant. We offer you strong, sturdy rootsi 
37— MAMMOTH VICTORIA— Practically the only variety in cultivation. There 
is nothing better regardless of the euphonious names given to this plant by 
some plantsmen.
