RHUBARB or Pie Plant 
Rhubarb, familiarly known as Pie Plant, or Wine Plant, is cultivated in gardens for its leaf stalks, 
which are used for pies and tarts. Immense quantities are now annually sold in all the large mar- 
kets. No private garden should be without it. 
CULTURE. Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat retentive 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 six inches 
apart. In the fall, transplant into very highly manured and deeply stirred soil, setting them about 
four feet apart each way, and give a dressing of coarse manure every spring. The stalks should not 
be plucked until the second year, and the plant never allowed to exhaust itself by running to seed. 
Victoria 
A hardy and excellent variety for the home garden.
