HASTINGS’ IMPROVED 
AMERICAN RUTABAGA 
GREATEST CROPPING 
RUTABAGA KNOWN 
Rhubarb or Pie Plant 
Rhubdrb or Pip Plant Rnotc Rhubarb is not known to the great majority of the 
AMoc • people of the cotton belt but in Tennessee, Kentucky, 
^ T 4 . Central States a patch of rhubarb plants is looked on almost as a household 
necessity. It is about the earliest usable plant in the spring for pie making and stewing. It also 
medicinal qualities, extract of rhubarb being largely used to assist digestion. 
V\ e do uot recommend planting Rhubarb in Florida and Gulf coast sections but in the Central 
feouth where moist, partly shaded locations can be had Rhubarb will grow luxuriantly. It is a 
plant that is a rank feeder and grower, and as such should be fertilized heavily with well rotted 
st^le manure. Plant out the roots during early spring months. 
FIEED GROWN ROOTS. By mail postpaid. 2C cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for $1.00. By ex- 
press or freight, not prepaid, 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen; $7.00 per 100. 
HorSGrddish Roots There are very few people that don’t need, at some time or other 
^ during the year, horseradish for seasoning. You can usually buy it 
at the stores but so adulterated as to be almoat worthless. Horseradish can be grown almost auy- 
wnere in t^ South successfully but gives best results in rich, rather moist, partly shaded locations. 
Prices; 25 Roots or Sets, 36 cents; 50 for 60 cents; 100 for $1.00, postpaid.
