Ci-LTURE.—This plant Is mostlj- propusati-cl by division of the roots 
host time to set out t ie plants is early in the Spring, altiiough it is sometim 
he V. wofy'T’"; of good depth. 3 to 4 feet apart, according 
d.-stn^ci ‘ furrows at right angles, make others the san 
distance apa t , at each intersection put three or four shovelfuls of good manur 
.and upon this set the plants. Any good soil will suit Rhubarb; but to obta 
heavy crops, good soil well manured is indispen.iable. A piece of root with 
single bud, or e.vo, is enough for each hill. Cultivate during Summer but ( 
first year. Late in Autumn cover each plant with 
HOJ’'f v^*’Ovclful of manure, and plough a furrow against each side of the rowi 
this protection will assist the earliness of the crop. In early Spring level ti 
ground, working m the manure with a fork. Plants can be obtained from see 
dle'^^f"i ‘t Jn March, and the plants set out about the mii 
than from^roots long''r. however, to obtain a crop from seedling plan
