Burgess’ Colossal Rhubarb 
Stalks 1 V 2 to 2 Feet Long 
Weigh 1 to 2 Lbs. Each 
We believe that Burgess’ New Colossal is much larger than any other Rhubarb ever produced. It is 
not at all uncommon to cut stalks 2 feet in length and from 6 to nearly 7 inches in circumference. When 
grown on rich soil and given good care, the stalks should average close to 1 y 2 lbs. each. 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. It is not as sour as other varieties, requiring less 
sugar. The quality is unequalled. We have the entire supply of this wonderful new variety, so you can 
not secure it elsewhere. 
We are not selling roots of this variety this year, but can supply a limited amount of seed. Pkt., 
25c; y 2 oz., 75c; oz., $1.25.
