family of 3 or 4 people. 
CuLtTurE. Plant in rows 15 to 18 inches apart and thin to 1 or

RHUBARB 
Sow 3 to 4 pounds in seed-beds for an acre of plants, 
or plant 5 to 6 pounds per acre in field. 
For the garden sow a packet in seed-bed for 15 plants 
to set 25 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Cutture. Plant in the fall in rows 3 to 4 feet apart and thin 
to about 18 to 24 inches in the row. It is best to plant seed in 
seed-bed and transplant to the field or garden spacing as indi- 
cated. Rhubarb does best in well drained, fertile, moist soil, 
rich in humus, and is especially well adapted to well drained 
muck soil. Rhubarb makes the most delicious of all pies, and 
also is used to make an enticing and appetizing sauce. In Flor- 
ida it is necessary to plant Rhubarb each season, as it will not 
carry over during the hot summer months. 
VICTORIA. (90 days from plants set in field or garden to 
edible stalks.) This vigorous growing variety produces thick, 
fleshy stalks of the best quality and flavor, and with attrac- 
tive red color. It is the best variety for Florida.

ROSELLE 
Jamaica Sorrell or Florida Cranberry 
(175 days from seed planting to ripe fruits.) 
Plant 3 pounds per acre. 
In the garden plant one packet to 25 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
This plant is of great value for Florida, and its cultivation 
should be extended. The red fruit is used when young for mak- 
ing jelly and jam which is claimed to be superior to Guava 
jelly. The plant grows well when the ground is warm, resists 
drouth and is very ornamental and useful. Every Florida gar- 
den should have a row of this ornamental and useful plant. 
It is grown commercially for local markets, fruits being mar- 
keted in quart berry baskets.
