During the Coldest Winter Weather 

You can have Rhubarb any time in the winter 
and market same at high prices. The profit in 
growing Rhubarb is enormous, and the culture for 
open field, or as a forcing crop for winter, is very 
simple. Plant a quantity of our Victoria Rhubarb 
roots this spring; cultivate well to secure large 
clumps of roots by fall. In the late fall take 
these clumps up and allow them to freeze for a 
few days and nights; then set them in barrels or 
boxes and put them in a cellar or any place where 
the temperature can be kept from 50 to 70 de- 
grees. Keep the soil moist—not wet—and in 4 or 
5 weeks you will have Rhubarb large enough to 
use. or sell on the market. You can get about three 
cuttings during the winter, when prices. are high, 
and from $100.00 to $200.00 worth can be grown 
in an ordinary cellar during the winter. 
Victoria Rhubarb is also especially adapted for 
forcing in greenhouses, hot beds and cold frames. 
If grown in the open field it is the first vegetable 
from the ground in the spring and the easiest of 
all perennial plants to grow. <A half dozen plants 
will supply a large family during the season, and 
plants well established will last for years. There 
always is a big demand and-as a money maker 
with very little work and expense, we recommend 
Rhubarb. 
We offer a fine stock of roots this spring, every 
one of which should make a good clump for either 
winter forcing or ordinary field culture. 
Prices: 30c each; 3 for 65c; 12 for $1.60, post- 
paid. By express, not prepaid, 50 for $4.00; 100 
for $7.50; 250 for $20.00. 
We always recommend the planting of Rhubarb 
roots instead of seed, but if seed is wanted, we 
can supply seed of Victoria at the following prices:
