he Rhubarb You Have Been tool 
NEW ROYAL RUBY is of Cana¬ 
dian origin, a truly red Rhubarb. 
Red from top of ground to begin¬ 
ning of leaf, cuts red or dark pink 
throughout leaf stalk. Ruby Rhu¬ 
barb is not as large as the old type 
Victoria, but the average length 
of leaf stalk is 30", width about 
1" and %" 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.
