Myatt’s Victoria Rhubarb 
RHUBARB 
CuLturE. Sow seed in a coldframe, in a 
fine, rich sandy loam, about March 1, im drills 
4 inches apart. Keep the frames covered dur- 
ing nights and cold days, so that the soil will 
not freeze, and in 6 to 8 weeks the plants will 
be Iarge enough to set out in the open ground. 
Transplant to rich soil and set 1 foot apart 
in rows. The following spring transplant to a 
permanent location, setting 4 to 5 feet apart 
each way. In good soil Rhubarb is ready to 
use the second year from seed. 
If our 2-year-old roots are used, a crop may 
be had the same season, which is much better 
than sowing seed where only a few plants are 
needed for family use. In the fall the bed 
should have a thick dressing of coarse manure 
to be spaded under in spring. Soil B. 
Myatt’s Victoria. The leading variety. 
RHUBARB ROOTS. See page 23. 
SORREL or SOUR GRASS 
Cutture. Sow in spring in rich soil, in 
drills 114 feet apart, and een the flower- 
stems cut off as they appear. It remains in 
the ground year after year, and only needs to 
be taken up and divided once in 4 to 5 years. 
Cut and cook precisely like spinach; or itis 
excellent cooked with it, one-third Sorrel to 
two-thirds spinach. It is also used for soups. 
Inasmuch as the hot sun tends to increase 
its acidity, a northern exposure is preferable.
