Rhubarb 
Rhubarb can be planted in October and Nov- 
ember, depending upon your locality. Fall plant- 
ing enables you to have quicker results than 
spring planting. We offer good, strong divisions 
with good eyes to start the crowns. For quantities 
write for prices. Ready for shipment about 
October 20th. Prices quoted are for good divisions. 
Do not pull any stems the first year after 
planting. Space 24% feet apart in the rows and 
6 feet between rows. If planting is deferred until 
spring set them out before May 1. If you are 
unable to set them out when received, plant in 
moist sand until ready. If the root divisions are 
planted in soil that is too dry they may fail 
to grow. If divisions do not arrive in good con- 
dition please advise us at once. On all rhubarb 
prices add 10% for Zone 4 and beyond.
