The 
RHUBARB 
(PIE PLANT) 
One ounce will sow 125 feet of row 
Rhubarb, also known as Pie Plant, is the earliest 
spring vegetable and is grown for its leaf stalks 
which are extensively used for pies and sauce. 
Culture: Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat re- 
tentive soil and the richer this is and the deeper it is stirred. 
the better. Sow in drills an inch deep and thin out the plants 
_to 6 inches apart. In the fall transplant, setting them 3 feet 
apart each way and give a dressing of coarse manure every 
spring. Stalks should not be plucked until the second year. 
When a blossom appears it should be cut back well into the 
ground and the plant never allowed to exhaust itself by 
running to seed, 
MYATT'S VICTORIA. A splendid early sort. Stalks 
are large, very thick, of rich red color, and 
almost stringless. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 4 Ib. 50c; 1 Ib. $1.75. 
RUBY or STRAWBERRY RHUBARB. The plants are 
of erect, compact habit, leaves medium size. The 
crisp, tender, juicy stalks are attractive red 
from base almost to the tip. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 4 Ib. $1.00; 1 Ib. $3.50. 
RHUBARB ROOTS 
Strong roots, 2 years old, which, if planted in 
good soil early in the spring, will make a strong 
growth and yield stalks the following spring.
