RHUBARB 
Sow seed early in the Spring, preferably February. The young seedlings should be kept growing 
during the first season as they will form the root that should be transplanted to the permanent field 
as soon as the ground can be worked the following Spring. A good crop can be expected the first sea¬ 
son from good roots set out in the Spring. Rhubarb grown from seed does not come true some un¬ 
desirable types appearing and these should be discarded. 
GIANT WINTER CRIMSON—-Very productive, 
bearing large stalks. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.50; % lb. $5.00. 
RHUEARB— GIANT WINTER CRIMSON 
STRAWBERRY—An old standard variety, fine

CHERRY RHUBARB 
This new Rhubarb is an improvement on the 
other sorts. It is less tart, the stalks are a beautiful 
cherry red, of fine appearance, and there is no coarse 
fiber in them and they will keep in a marketable 
condition several weeks after maturity, without be¬ 
coming soft or pithy, as do most varieties. The roots 
we offer of this variety are root divisions and not 
roots grovvn from seed. Roots grown from seed are 
not as desirable as the root divisions.

ROSELLE 
An annual plant. The buds or calyx surrounding 
the seed pod are used (as soon as the flower drops) 
for making jelly and jam. It makes a very superior 
jelly considered by many better than guava or cur¬ 
rant jelly. In Australia the Roselle produces the 
famous Queensland Jelly that is shipped to all parts 
of Europe. Sow in spring after the danger of 
frost is over and when the soil is warm, in rows 
six feet apart and four feet apart in the rows. 
The plant is ornamental and easily grown from 
seed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c. 
RUTABAGAS 
OR SWEDES 
Require a longer season that Turnips. For 
table use they keep better, and better flavored 
than the Turnip. For stock in Fall and Winter 
there is nothing superior to Turnips and Ruta¬ 
bagas, as they are liked by all kinds of stock 
and keep them in good condition.
