Rhubarb 
One ounce will produce about 750 plants. 
Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, rich loam, It is propa- 
gated by seed, or by division of the roots—the latter being 
the usual method. Sow the seeds in drills 18 inches apart, 
and thin out the plants to 9 inches apart in the drills. 
When the plants are one year old transplant into beds, set- 
ting the plants 5 feet apart each way. Do not cut until the 
second year and give a liberal dressing of manure every 
fall.
