RED RUBY A wonderful new Rhubarb in- 
troduced from Canada. The 
stalks are intensely red, as the name implies— 
even the inside of the stalk is red. Rhubarb 
sauce made from Ruby is as red as strawberry 
sauce. The skin is so tender that it can be 
cooked with the stalk. A money-maker on any 
market because it sells on sight at a premium 
over common Rhubarb. Ruby cannot be grown 
from seed, and is therefore more expensive to 
propagate; but it’s well worth the price we’re 
asking. Supply is limited, so order early. 
Said to be the 
RED MacDONALD last word in 
Rhubarb. In describing this variety, Prof. 
L. G. Bunting, of MacDonald College, in 
Quebec, Canada, where it originated, 
states: “It is a very highly colored, at- 
tractive red stalk, of large size, produc- 
tive, very tender and succulent, and of 
excellent quality, and particularly valu- 
able for pies and desserts. Its color, 
when cooked without peeling, is as at- 
tractive as that of “raspberries.” ~ Iry
