Myatt’s Linnaeus 
Rhubarb. 
Myatt’s Linnaeus Rhubarb 
This Rhubarb differs greatly from the old "pie plant" and the sta'ks 
are very large, tender, juicy, and mild in flavor. The yield is abundant and 
stalks can be cut much earlier than common varieties. 
For home use our Myatt’s Linnaeus Rhubarb is excellent, as it pro¬ 
vides material for early spring pies and desserts. Buyers demand select 
rhubarb, and as this is the earliest fruit of the year it never fails to bring a 
good price. Grow and market rhubarb in connection with your asparagus.

This variety is the result of careful breeding 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Wash¬ 
ington, D. C., with the object of eliminating rust 
It produces large, straight shoots of a dark green 
color. The tips are tight and firm and do not 
open out or begin to branch until well out of the 
ground; a very valuable feature. 
Nothing that comes out of the home garden 
is so much appreciated 4s the tender tips and 
fresh stalks of aspara¬ 
gus. A small bed of 
them kept weed-free, 
or a border along the 
garden edge, will sup¬ 
ply the average table 
for six weeks or more 
in late spring. 
In planting, make 
the soil rich; dig 
trench, set 12 to 18 inches 
apart, roots spread out, 
crown two inches below 
surface, and tamp soil 
well about the roots.

Following we give most common planting distances for berry plants and number of plants required per acre. 
Distance apart No. plants per acre 
Strawberries . 4 ft. x 18 in.7,000 
Red Raspberries . 6 ft. x 3 ft.2,400 
Black Raspberries . 7 ft. x 4 ft.1,550 
Blackberries . 8 ft. x 4 ft.1,350 
Grape Vines . 8 ft. x 10 ft. 550 
If you prefer to plant other distances than those listed, here is a simple rule to determine the number of plants 
required for an acre. Multiply the distance between rows, in feet, by the distance between plants in the row, in feet. 
This will give the number of square feet required for one plant. Divide this into 43,560, the number of square feet 
in an acre, and the result will be the number of plants you will need for one acre of ground.
