Rhubarb grows readily from seed. Roots also can be supplied 
during the winter months. 
A SEEDMAN'S DUTY 
New and improved sorts of seeds are constantly being introduced, and 
we do not hesitate to drop the older and obselete strains front our list. 
There has been an improvement in seed growing as well as in building 
motor cars, and we see no reason why the older models should not be 
dropped. Careful selection and scientific breeding have accomplished 
wonders the past few years. Flavour, colour and uniformity have been 
so improved in the new varieties we offer that we believe they will 
meet with your hearty approval. 
RHUBARB 
HOW TO GROW. —Rhubarb does best in 
a very rich, deeply-dug soil. Sow the 
seed lin. deep in drills 1ft. apart, thin¬ 
ning out the young plants to stand 8in. 
to lOin. apart in the rows. The following 
spring transplant into well prepared soil, 
setting the plants 3 ft. to 4 ft. apart each 
way. The crowns should be covered with 
about 4in. of soil. The stalks should not 
be used until after the second year. Six 
to ten plants are sufficient to supply a 
medium-sized family.
