Myatt’s Victoria Rhubarb 
RHUBARB 
Cu.turE. Sow seed in a coldframe, in a 
fine, rich sandy loam, about March 1, in drills 
4 inches apart. Keep the frames covered dur- 
ing nights and cold days, so that the soil will 
not freeze, and in 6 to 8 weeks the plants will 
be large enough to set out in the open ground. 
Transplant to rich soil and set 1 foot apart 
in rows. The following spring transplant to a 
permanent location, setting 4 to 5 feet apart 
each way. In good "soil Rhubarb is ready to 
use the second year from seed. 
If our 2-year-old roots are used, a crop may 
be had the same season, which is much better 
than sowing seed where only a few plants are 
needed for family use. In the fall the bed 
should have a thick dressing of coarse manure 
to be spaded under in spring. Soil B

excellent cooked with it, one-third Sorrel to 
two-thirds spinach. It is also used for soups. 
Inasmuch as the hot sun tends to increase 
its acidity, a northern exposure is preferable.
