MacDonald Rhubarb Roots 
We have an exceptionally fine lot of roots of the now famous MacDonald 
Rhubarb. This variety is the most distinct improvement made in rhubarb 
in many years and is generally considered to be the best red rhubarb grown. 
The plant is vigorous and strong, producing large tender stalks which 
are deep crimson in color. They make a very attractive bunch and when 
cooked the sauce is a beautiful deep pink and of excellent flavor. Market
