RHUBARB, OR PIE PLANT 
This deserves to be ranked among the best early products of the garden. It 
affords the earliest material for line pies and fresh table sauce, continues long in use, 
and is valuable for canning. Make the ground rich and deep and thus secure a more 
tender growth. 
Early Scarlet — Rather small, but early 
and good. 
Myatt’s Linnaeus— Large, early, tender 
and fine. The very best of all. 
Champaign — The best of all. Large and 
of the finest flavor. 
Victoria — This variety is medium in size, 
is also an early sort and very tender. 
MULBERRIES 
Downing Mulberry 
Downing’s Everbearing— The beau- 
ty of this as a lawn or street tree 
is quite enough to commend it; 
but in addition it yields an abun- 
dant supply of its large, refresh- 
ing berries for about three 
months. “I regard it as an indis- 
pensable addition to every fruit 
garden; and I speak what I 
think when I say I had rather 
have one tree of Downing’s 
Everbearing Mulberry than a 
bed of Strawberries.” — Henry 
Ward Beecher. 
New .American — A new variety, 
forming a very beautiful tree; 
very hardy and productive. 
Superior to Downing. 
Russian — -A very hardy, rapid- 
growing timber tree of great 
value, especially at the West. 
Introduced by the Mennonites. 
Foliage abundant; and said to be 
very desirable in the culture of 
silk worms. Fruit of good size 
and produced in great abun- 
dance.
