It is fair to say that you don't know what Rhubarb is until you have tried these new 
varieties introduced recently from Canada.

McDONALD. The stalks are up to 2 ft. long, many half as thick as your wrist. The 
skin is a bright red, and the inside flesh is white. It is very tender and has a rich 
flavor, far superior to common varieties. A tremendous yielder. 
RUBY. The sweetest of all rhubarb, solid red from top to bottom. The inside flesh, too, 
is colored. The stalks are smaller than McDonald. 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRIES 
A tremendous bearer of immense berries, often 2 inches long, and almost seedless. 
They have a delicious sweet flavor, wonderful to eat or to can. 
Boysenberries are trailing vines. Allow canes to trail along the ground the first sea- 
son, protect them during the winter with straw or similar material, and tie them to a 
trellis, fence or stakes the following spring, after cutting them back to about 5 ft. 
After crop is off, canes have to be cut off entirely, new canes coming from the roots 
taking their place. 
Our 2 year old transplanted Boysenberries are beautiful, heavy plants. They usually 
begin to bear the first year planted.

POLLINATION OF FRUIT TREES 
APPLES: Most varieties need cross-pollination. Plant therefore at least two dif- 
ferent varieties. Good pollinators are Cortland, Delicious, and Wealthy. In- 
clude one of these varieties in your planting. Latest Observations by the 
New York State Agricultural Eperiment Station, Geneva, N. Y., indicate that 
Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening, and Wealthy are self-fruitful. However, 
crops are benefited if another variety is planted as a pollinator. 
PEARS: Most varieties need cross-pollination. Plant therefore at least two dif- 
ferent varieties. Bartlett and Seckel do not pollinate each other. Where 
these two varieties are planted, a third variety should be included. Duchesse 
d’'Angouleme was found to be self-fruitful. However, this too, is benefited 
by cross-pollination. 
PLUMS: Abundance and Burbank need cross-pollination. They pollinate each 
other. All other varieties which we offer are self-fruitful. 
CHERRIES: Sweet Cherries need cross-pollination. Plant at least two different 
varieties. All Sour Cherries are self-fruitful. 
PEACHES: J. H. Hale requires pollination. Any other peach will pollinate this 
variety. Other varieties of peaches are self-fruitful. 
APRICOTS, CRAB APPLES, NECTARINES: They are self-fruitful. However, 
crops will be increased by planting different varieties for pollination. 
BLUEBERRIES: They need cross-pollination. Plant two or more different varie- 
ties to insure satisfactory crops. 
Other kinds of fruit trees and berry plants are self-fruitful.
