MacDONALD CRIMSON 
The New Red Rhubarb 
This new variety is the best of all. 
Yields heavily from spring right 
through to late summer because it 
never goes to seed. Will last for 
years. Produces unusually large at¬ 
tractive crimson stalks and the good 
thing is that they are very tender and 
juicy (skin and all) ; not tough or 
stringy as most large stalks are. If 
everyone knew this grand new red 
rhubarb no other kind would be 
planted. It is so much better in every 
way—large size, rich red color, great¬ 
er production, and best of all a de¬ 
liciously sweet flavor. Plant Mac¬ 
DONALD this spring and enjoy it. 
Ours are all strong division roots 
ready to produce quickly. 
PRICES—Each 39c; 3 for $1.10; 10 
for $3.39; 25 for $7.95.
