1 oun<;e will produce alK)ut 1,000 plants. 
CULTURE— Rhubarb Rives the best results when 
rown in deep, rich soil that has been worked to a 
„epthof at least one foot. Sow in drills 1 inch deep 
and thin out the plants to « or (j inches apart. Trans- 
plant plants in the early tall, setting them alx)ut 4 
feet apart each way and give a dressing of coai-se 
manure each spring. The stalk should not !« 
plucked until the second year and the plant never 
allowed to exhaust itself by running to sos^d. As 
will be noticed, we offer carefully siived se(!d, and 
want to call particular attention to our Monarch 
Rhubarb, wlucli is giving such splendid results.
