RHUBARB—NEW ROYAL RUBY 
The Rhubarb You Have Been Looking For 
NEW ROYAL RUBY is of Canadian origin, a truly red Rhu¬ 
barb. Red from top of ground to beginning of leaf, cuts red or 
dark pink throughout leaf stalk. Ruby Rhubarb is not as large 
as the old type Victoria, but the average length of leaf stalk is 
30", width about 1" and 1/2" thick. 
In every sense of the word, it is positively known that no 
Rhubarb runs 100 per cent from seed, but from our observa¬ 
tion Royal Ruby seed will produce nearly 75 per cent true type. 
Merely plant the seed in the spring, in fall cut out few green or 
off types and you have a perfect field for transplanting and your 
foundation for a crop of perfect rhubarb is built. The extremely 
hot season of 1934 and 1935 killed many fields of rhubarb neces¬ 
sitating a rebuilding of their fields and why return to old half 
green variety? Why not give your customers what they want? 
They want a red Rhubarb. The texture is fine, free from fibre, 
tender and juicy with an unexcelled flavor. The surface is 
smooth, medium thick and the flesh is pink to deep red. 
Royal Ruby Rhubarb has grown in popularity every year 
since we started with it. We are of the same opinion as when 
we stated—that it is the best of all rhubarbs. We believe that 
it will in time supplant many of the older varieties as it is 
much better when cooked. We know that it will bring 10 cents 
a dozen bunches over any other variety and will be in demand.
