210-09 CANADA RED 
You'll enjoy that first delicious taste of juicy, red 
rhubarb early in the spring. Keep pulling and using 
it, and it will be just as tender and flavorful through- 
out the season. For a treat, try mixing with it a few 
raspberries or strawberries. 
Rhubarb is the most under-rated, easy- 
to-grow and easy-to-prepare garden 
product ever known. The new red 
varieties make sauce or pies that are 
a beautiful cherry-red. The flavor is 
pleasantly tart and tantal- 
izingly sweet. The red 
skin is so smooth, tender 
and sweet that peeling 
is unnecessary. Rhubarb 
is fine for 
canning and 
freezing, too.

The reddest of all red rhubarbs and a runner-up in taste 
appeal to Valentine. Has large, tender, juicy stalks that 
are rich red all the way to the heart and even to the mid- 
ribs in the leaves. Skin is so tender you need not peel it. 
Canada Red, a heavy producer, can be used throughout 
the season. Plant now and have rhubarb this year.
