ROSELLE (Australian Jelly Plant). This plant, coming from Queensland, 
Australia, will grow wherever cotton grows, and with much the same cultiva¬ 
tion. It blossoms in October and November and after the blossoming a seed 
pod forms with fleshy red leaves around it. Pick this while soft, put in a 
kettle with just enough water to cover and boil, strain, add one-half pint 
sugar and one-fourth lemon juice to each pint of juice and boil until it jellies. 
It has a delicious flavor between the currant and quince. It can also be made 
into jams, pies, puddings, etc. 
It is easily grown from seed, which should not be planted until the ground 
becomes warm; if given plenty of water it will require eight by eight feet. 
It will not mature seed in the colder climates, but in the favored Gulf Coast 
country it matures seed. Price 15c per Pkt. Oz. 75c. 
RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 
A rich, sandy soil, wet but well drained, is best for Rhubard. It is cheaper 
to grow from seed and discard untrue plants. The popular method is to use 
young plants propagated from the crown. The best stems are produced the 
second year, but it continues to produce for several years. When the blossom 
stalk appears, it should be cut back well into the ground. Set the crowns of 
the plants so that they are two inches under the surface of the soil. This is 
important. Choose a place where the soil will be moist at all times. One ounce 
produces from 400 to 500 plants.
