Citations portant sur la Rhubarbe Tobolsk

The varieties now in use are hybrids between Rheum Rhaponticum, Rheum Undulatum, and Rheum Palmatum, and in England were brought to a high state of perfection in the early part of the present century. The Old sorts in much favor were Tobolsk and Erford. Later on came Mitchell's Royal Albert and Dancer's Early Scarlet.

The favourite old sorts of rhubarb were the Tobolsk and the Elford or Buck’s; the latter comes from R. undulatum, and is one of the best in flavour, as well as of a flue red colour. Other good sorts of more modern date are Mitchell’s Royal Albert, Dancer’s Early Scarlet, Myatt’s Linnaeus, and Myatt’s Victoria, the last a large-growing thick-stalked kind, the others being all earlier sorts. Johnson’s St Martin’s and Salt’s Crimson Perfection are also favourite kinds; and Stott’s Monarch grows to a very large size.
