Two Famous 
RHUBARBS 
From Canada 
RUBY —The highest quality, finest red rhubarb known for the home 
garden. When we were chosen 9 years ago by Professor L. G. Bunt¬ 
ing of MacDonald College, Quebec,. Canada, the originator, to intro¬ 
duce the now famous MacDonald rhubarb into the United States we 
thought that it was the “last word” in rhubarbs,—and we were 
right, too,—until Ruby was made available. Now we place Ruby at 
the head of the list for home plantings, but we still believe that 
MacDonald is the best for commercial growers. 
RUBY is a heavy producer, has higher color than MacDonald—is 
unexcelled in quality and very mild. Like MacDonald it is free of the 
characteristic high acidity that makes the old fashioned rhubarbs so 
distasteful to some. The stalks are not as large as MacDonald’s but 
produce in great abundance. It excells all older rhubarbs in every 
culinary use, but is especially outstanding for sauce because of its 
mildness and its deep red color. Plant Ruby freely and enjoy the 
splendid health giving rhubarb at its very best. Each 40c; $1.00 for 3; 
$3.50 for 12. 
MACDONALD —The finest of the large stalked, high quality rhubarbs. 
Wherever it has been grown it has met with instant recognition as 
a truly superior variety,—vastly better than any of the older sorts. 
In writing us about MacDonald, some time ago, the originator, 
Professor L. G. Bunting of MacDonald College says: 
“To date we have only placed it in your hands and the firm in New York 
who received a shipment about the same time you did. 
“I would like to give you my own personal opinion of this variety as one who 
has been growing, handling and eating rhubarb for the past thirty-five years, 
and that is: It is a very highly colored attractive red stalk, of large size, pro¬ 
ductive, very tender and succulent, and of excellent quality, and particularly 
valuable for pies and desserts. Its color when cooked without peeling is as 
attractive as that of raspberries.’’ 
Ruby 
The planter who wants a rhubarb of high quality,—good red color and heavy yield of 
large stocks, will find nothing better than MacDonald. Each 35c; 90c for 3; $3.25 for 12.

To determine the number of plants required per acre for any distance multiply the two-plant 
distances and divide the product into 43,560 (the number of square feet per acre).
