Cultural Instructions. For home-garden cul- 
ture, plant 6 inches deep, 12 inches apart, mm rows

2 inches at first, gradually fillmg m as they grow.

VICTORIA RHUBARB 
It would be difficult to conceive of a garden vege- 
table offering more food value for the cost and ef- 
fort than Rhubarb, which prefers a deep, fertile soil 
but requires very little attention. It 1s not even 
necessary to move or replant each year. Produces 
delicious food in early spring when garden vegetables 
are scarce. Also delicious canned or frozen. 
We offer the VICTORIA, which has enormous, 
long stalks of cherry-red. Very tender. Varieties 
have been so greatly improved that Victoria can 
hardly be recognized as being derived from the old 
garden pie-plant. Plant 3 to 4 feet apart in rows or 
beds.

VICTORIA RHUBARB 
Possibly no fruit has undergone greater Improvement within the past twenty-five years 
than the Blueberry. Giant cultivated varieties offered are the result of cross breeding the 
native wild Blueberries. The new hybrids grow in large clusters, are plump, tender and 
practically seedless. Plant this delicious fruit and enjoy fresh, frozen or canned Blue- 
berries—and Blueberry pie is hard to beat. 
In addition to bearing a profitable crop, the Blueberry is an attractive ornamental 
shrub which may be planted on the lawn. 
Blueberries require an acid humus soil. If your soil ts deficient in humus and acidity, 
we recommend making a heavy application of peat moss, rotted sawdust, decayed leaves, 
or something of that nature, plus a 1 to 2-pound application of high-grade fertilizer, 
depending upon size of plants.
