RHUBARB 
Rhubarb should be given the richest soil and a location where it need not 
be disturbed for a long time. Each fall apply rotted cow manure or other 
fertilizer. Do not use from a young plant till it is established and builds up 
a reserve. These varieties continue to grow and are usable thru the whole 
summer.
