cooked, are palatable and nutritious. Flavor is 
similar to oysters. A light, rich soil is most

Rhubarb 
CULTURE 
The roots can be raised from seed sown in the 
spring, and are ready to transplant to the per- 
manent bed the next spring. Seedlings cannot be 
relied upon to produce the variety true to type 
no matter how carefuly the seed is raised, so the 
roots that produce the largest and best stalks 
should be used, the rest being discarded. 
VICTORIA 
Stalks grow very large and are light green and 
searlet in color.

CULTURE 
After danger of frost is past, plant in a warm, 
well pulverized, rich soil, mixing manure in each 
hill. Plant 8 to 10 seed to the hill, about May 10th, 
for the summer varieties 4 to 6 feet apart, and 
the winter sorts 8 to 10 feet, about July 1st. 
When well grown, thin out, leaving three of the 
strongest plants in each hill. Do not bruise or 
break the stems of the winter squashes when 
gathering. Plant summer sorts, 1 ounce to 25 
hills; 3 to 4 pounds to an acre; winter sorts, 
ounce to 10 hills; 3 to 4 pounds to an acre.

more uniform. The vine is bush type. Fruit
