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 done the second spring. 
Plants put out in a rich soil in the spring are in fine 
condition the second 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.

SQUASHES. 
The Squashes arc of 
tropical origin, and 
therefore it is useless to 
plant them until the soil 
is quite warm, and all 
danger of frost or cold 
nights is over; and as 
they make a very rapid 
growth there is no neces¬ 
sity of haste in getting 
the seed into the ground. 
Squashes are good feed¬ 
ers, and like a rich soil: 
it is best to manure in 
the hill. Sow a dozen 
seeds in each hill, and 
when danger from 
“bugs” is over pull up 
all but three or four. A 
mellow, warm soil is best. 
For bush sorts, make hills three or four feet apart, and 
for the running kinds twice this distance. Squashes are 
in two classes 
Summer and 
Winter. The 
Summer arc 
used when 
young and ten¬ 
der, and the 
Winter, when 
well -ripened, 
will usually 
keep till spring. 
Our engravings show the Hubbavd , the best of the in¬ 
ter Squashes, and the Scollop , one of the two best 
Summer Squashes.
