A packet will plant 5 or 6 hills; an ounce 20 hills. 
A few hills of pumpkins in the garden will give you the ‘““makins”’ of many delicious pies in 
the fall and winter. If you grow your own you can get pumpkins of a quality that is impossible 
to match in the commercial canned product, and at very small cost. If your garden is small, a 
few hills among the sweet corn will not take up any extra ground.

Rhabarber (Ger.) RHUBARB or PIEPLANT Rabarbaro (It.) 
Roots can be raised from seed sown in the spring, and are ready to transplant to the permanent 
bed the next spring. Seedlings cannot be relied upon to reproduce the variety true to type no 
matter how carefully the seed is raised, so only the roots that produce the largest and best stalks 
should be used, the rest being discarded.

MACDONALD (New.) Roots only. This remarkable variety is the most distinct 
- improvement which has been made in rhubarb in a good many years. 
We obtained the original roots a number of years ago from MacDonald College of McGill 
University at Montreal, and have increased our stock by root division. 
The stalks are very large and become a bright crimson color. They are tender, of excellent 
flavor and when cooked they make a beautiful deep pink sauce. The plant is high yielding 
strong and robust. ‘ 
We offer roots only of this variety. Although MacDonald sometimes puts up a seed stalk like 
other varieties it does not pollinate readily and we have never succeeded in harvesting any seed. 
MacDonald Rhubarb Root Divisions: Ea. 35c; 3 for 90c; Doz. $3.00, transportation paid. Not paid: $12.00 per 100.
