ZILKE'S NEW RED EVERBEARING RHUBARB 
ZILKE’S EVERBEARING MCDONALD RED RHUBARB is the finest of all Rhu- 
barb. The stalks are giant in size, twice as large as ordinary Rhubarb. Bright 
red color. Very tender and stays tender a long time. It has the richest flavor and 
also more sugar, therefore requires less sweetening when cooked. It makes the fin- 
est Rhubarb pies and sauce you ever tasted. The skin is a bright red, but the inside 
flesh is white, so when the sauce is cooked it has just enough tinge of red to make 
it look appetizing. It is a tremendous yielder, that is why we call it everbearing, 
because as fast as you pull one stalk another comes up to take its place. You can use it 
over a much longer period of time than ordinary Rhubarb, The stalks are 18 to 24 inches 
long, many half as thick-:as your wrist. Nothing you can plant in your garden will give 
you more returns than McDonald Rhubarb. We recommend it very highly, not only be- 
cause it is healthful, but because it tastes so good. Lasts a life time. Heavy 2 yr. divis- 
ions, 60¢ each; 3 for $1.50; 10 for $4.50. 
CANADA RED RHUBARB—Sweet, tender and red all the way 
through. A brand new rhubarb imported from Canada. The 
stalks are dark red clear to the heart and up into the leaf. Pro- 
duces large plump stalks that are very sweet, fine flavored and 
makes the most beautiful red sauce. Quickly grows into a large 
clump. A few matured plants will supply the average family. 
Hardy everywhere. Thrives anywhere. This is the earliest spring 
fruit. No. 1 divisions, 70¢ each; 3 for $1.80; 10 for $5.00.
