Rhubarb, also known as Pie Plant, is the earliest 
spring vegetable and is grown for its leaf stalks 
which are extensively used for pies and sauce. 
Culture: Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat re- 
tentive soil and the richer this is and the deeper it is stirred. 
the better. Sow in drills an inch deep and thin out the plants 
to 6 inches apart. In the fall transplant, setting them 3 feet 
apart each way and give a dressing of coarse manure every 
spring. Stalks should not be plucked until the second year. 
When a blossom appears it should be cut back well into the

running to seed.
