Rhubarb or Pie Plant 
This is one of the first vegetables to start in the spring 
and furnishes material for pies and sauces before any¬ 
thing else in the fruit line is available. Pieplant is not 
only palatable but is healthful, tending to clear the blood 
of impurities in the spring after a long, hard winter. The 
roots are very hardy, and can be made to grow readily if 
given rich soil and clean culture. We should plant them 
in rows about 4 to 5 feet apart, with plants about 12 to 
18 inches apart in the row. All that is-necessary is to 
keep the land clean of weeds and well cultivated. Each 
fall it is a good plan to put a forkful of rich manure about 
each plant to facilitate growth. If barrels or boxes are 
placed over the plants in early spring to exclude the light 
and keep away the frosts and cold winds, the stalks will 
make a large, tender growth much earlier than as though 
they were left exposed. The growth will be all stalk with 
little leaf. After the plants have been growing for several 
years, they will do better if taken up and divided and reset. 
We have an immense stock of Pieplant roots to offer. They 
will be all split, ready to plant. Note our reduced prices.

Horse Radish Roots 
Maliner Kren. A new variety discovered by United 
States Agricultural Explorer David Fairchilds, in Bohemia 
about ten years ago. Cutting from this Horseradish planted 
In April will produce fine large roots for grating the fol¬ 
lowing October; and if left in the ground until spring, will 
grow to enormous size. It is white as snow and free from 
disease. Yields of four tons to the acre have been recorded. 
Grows on any kind of soil and will stand the dry weather Victoria Rhubarb, 
as well as potatoes. In planting Horseradish, fit the soil 
same as for strawberries, and plant the cuttings point downwards, with the top of the 
cutting about one inch below the surface of the soil. Set about 1 by 4 feet apart, about 
10,000 cuttings to the acre. Cultivate same as any garden crop. In about two weeks the 
leaves will show above the surface, and in due time will shade the ground so that weeds 
will not bother it much. Horseradish sells in market at 5 to 10 cents per pound, and to the 
pickling houses at $100.00 per ton. Price of Maliner Kren, 35c* per dozen; $1.25 per 100; 
$10.00 per 1,000.

Common Garden Horseradish Roots, 25c per dozen; $1.00 
per 100; $5.00 per 1,000. 
TESTIMONIALS.

Rome months ago I purchased a few packets of Fall Bear¬

have now about two or three hundred sturdy plants from
