This fruit either green or ripe is very useful for cooking and 
is used extensively for canning. Requires the same cultiva¬ 
tion and treatment as currants. The surest method to pre¬ 
vent mildew is to plant thickly in the rows and mulch deeply 
(six or more inches) with straw, tan bark, coal ashes, etc. 
Plantations thus created have borne large crops for as high as 
twenty years. The mulch retains moisture in the driest 
weather, the few weeds that push up are easily pulled and 
the fruit is large and more evenly ripened. 
DOWNING. Fruit large, round and 
light green with distinct vein and 
smooth skin. Soft, juicy and fine flav¬ 
ored. Vigorous and productive. One 
of the best. 
HOUGHTON. Medium 
size, pale red, sweet and 
juicy. A vigorous grower 
and abundant bearer. Im¬ 
mune to mildew.

large. The clusters average longer than usually found and the size of berry is

RHUBARB 
MILLER’S CREAM. Raised from the 
stock of the famous old truck gar¬ 
dener of near Bristol, Indiana, who 
cornered the rhubarb market in and 
around Elkhart because of the mar¬ 
velous flavor of his rhubarb. The pies 
made from it had the flavor of 
peaches and so it was called peach 
flavored pie plant. Since his death we 
have succeeded in obtaining his entire 
stock and have 10,000 stalks at this 
time. We are offering this to our cus¬ 
tomers at the same price as the com¬ 
mon kind. Be sure and send for a 
dozen of these plants with your order. 
We call it ''Miller’s Cream” and offer 
$25.00 for a dozen stalks that will 
excel it in size, season, and quality. 
$1.00 per dozen; $3.45 per 100. 
(Pie Plant) 
The first vegetable to come 
out of the spring garden— 
delicate and delightful in 
flavor and a treat to jaded 
appetites. One hundred roots 
will supply a small family 
and will last for years. Set 
the plants about 18 inches 
apart in the row. Spread 
roots out in bottom of hole 
or furrow and fill in as plant 
grows so that roots will be 
about 4 inches deep.
