PUMPKINS. 
; When we laughed around the corn heap , 
with our hearts all in tune , 
Our chair a broad pumpkin , —

Telling talcs of the fairy

In a pumpkin-slicll coach , 
with two rats for her team ” 
—John G. Whittier.

RHUBARB. 
The Rhubarb, or Pie Plant, is grown from divisions of the roots, and 
from seed. If seed is sown in a good, mellow soil, strong plants will be 
obtained in one year, and some cutting may be (lone the second spring. 
Plants put out in a rich soil in the spring are in fine condition the sec¬ 
ond season. In spring, about two weeks before frost is gone, cover one 
or two of the finest 
roots with barrels, and 
over and around the 
barrels place a heap of 
warm manure, and in 
a short time look out 
for delicious, tender 
Pie Plant. Pie Plant 
can also be grown in a 
tub in any corner of 
the greenhouse, or in a 
light cellar. It will 
thrive under almost 
any treatment when 
the soil is rich and 
moist, and without 
much light.
