RHUBARB 
Rhubarb, like Asparagus, should be planted in rich soil where it need not 
be disturbed, and will produce a great lot of wholesome food with a min¬ 
imum amount of work. Heavy clumps of it may be forced in the furnace 
room in winter if they are dug in the fall and allowed to freeze hard before 
taking in.
