PIE PLANT 
(Rheum Hybridum.) 
Rhubarbe. Rhabarber. Rhabarbaro. Ruibarbo. 
CULTURE.—1 ounce is sufficient for 100 feet of drill. For an acre, 8 to 10 pounds. Sow from the middle of March to 
middle of May, in deep rich ground, in drills a foot apart and % inch deep, and when well up thin to 6 inches apart. In the 
fall trench a piece of ground at least 2 spades deep, manuring abundantly, and set the plants out 4 feet anart each way, 
covering with leaves or coarse manure. It is best not to gather many of the stalks the first season, and in our Southern 
country it is rarely successful except in shady situations. Perhaps the most profitable plan for Southern growers is to buy 
the roots—as offered below—setting them out in November, March or April. Rhubarb may b© forced for early market, and 
large profits are realized by those who practice this method of cultivation. Entire clumps are taken from the open ground 
during the winter and set in cold frames or under the benches in hot houses, the yield being astonishing.
