The quality of this wonderful New Rhubarb is far superior to any of the older kinds, having the pleasant taste of berries instead of the coarse ground taste, and tough, green stringy stalks of the old kinds, yet are as large as can be conveniently handled and shipped, producing beautifully colored crimson stalks under good culture two or three feet long and one to one and one-half inches thick, and producing fully double as much per acre as the old coarse kinds. The main crop comes during the holidays, just at the time when all other Rhubarbs are out of business. This Giant New Rhubarb is absolutely unequaled in quality, and must not be confounded more productive. with the Crimson Winter Rhubarb, as it is much more productive. This new Rhubarb will not be profitable out of doors where the Eucalyptus, the Orange and the Fig cannot be grown. This Rhubarb can be grown between orchard trees, and in addition to increasing your acre output, it comes at the season when other crops are out and keeps the income steady.
