ing the water too close to the main stock. As the roots are 
long, irrigation can be made at the ends of the vine. When the 
fields are covered by vine, irrigate midway between the rows. 
Too much water is very detrimental to the vines. Plant hills 
8 to 10 feet apart each way, placing 4 seeds to a hill and after 
established pull out all but the one healthiest plant. Use one 
pound of seed per acre.

CULTURE. 
Rhubarb seed requires considerable care and is discriminating as 
to where it grows. A rich light sandy loam is its delight and 
seed planted in this type of soil, about % inch deep in rows which are 12 
inches apart, in the early spring, say February, will be ready to transplant in 
from 4 to 6 months time. When roots are as large as one’s finger transplant 
to mellow soil as described above, in rows 5 feet apart and about 3 feet apart 
in the row. The roots should be set in ridges with 
the crown even with the surface of the soil. The 
ground should be kept well cultivated and irrigated the 
first season and stalks may be pulled early the next 
spring.
