ANDREWS - BURRI 
SEED CO. 
RHUBARB 
NEW! NEW! ROYAL RUBY— 
Something you have been looking 
for. Of Canadian origin, a truly red 
Rhubarb. Red from top of ground 
to beginning of leaf, cuts red or 
dark pink throughout leaf stalk. 
Ruby Rhubarb is not as large as 
the old type Victoria, but the aver¬ 
age length of leaf stalk is 30", 
width about 1" and Vz" thick. 
In every sense of the word, it is 
positively known that no Rhubarb 
runs 100 per cent true from seed, 
but our observation that Royal 
Ruby seed will produce nearly 95 
per cent true type. Merely plant 
the seed in the spring, in fall cut 
out few green or off types and you 
have a perfect field for transplant¬ 
ing and your foundation for a crop 
of perfect rhubarb is built The ex¬ 
tremely hot season of 1934 and 
1935 killed many fields of rhubarb 
necessitating a rebuilding of their 
fields and why return to old half 
green variety? Why not give your 
customers what they want? They 
want a red Rhubarb The texture 
is fine, free from fibre, tender and 
juicy with an unexcelled flavor. 
The surface is smooth, medium 
thick and the flesh is pink to deep 
red.
