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 is very sim- 
ple. Plant Rhubarb roots this spring ; culti- 
vate 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 degrees. 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 
During the Coldest Winter Weather | 
Rhubarb is also especially adapted tao 
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. 
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.
