Burgess’ New Colossal Rhubarb 
Notice the above picture, showing one stalk of our New Colossal Ilhubarb taken from an actual plioto- 
graph. Notice the end of the tape measure around the stalk. This stalk was 2 feet long, nearly’7 
inciies in circuiiitt^rencc, und \veip;hed one pound and fourteen ounces. When grown in rich soil and 
given good care, the stalks will average nearly this large. 
^\ e believe tlmt Burgess New Colossal is considerably larger than any other Rhubarb ever produced. 
One stalk is sufficient for a pie. It is by far the most productive variety of Rhubarb. It is more tender 
than other varieties, even the matured stalks cooking up tender. The quality is unequalled. We have 
tile entire supply of this wonderful new variety, so you can not secure it elsewhere.
