This vigorous growing plant provides a whole• eome enbstitnte for fruit early in the Spring before etrawberriee ooms in. It ie not generally known, however, that it ono be made to produce ile prop in ae ordinary cetlar during the Winter, when it probably be more appreoiated then when grown in the usual way in the Spring. The rhubarb plant melon its moat vigorous growth under naturet conditions early in the Spring, when ite large leaves store n in the bbiok fleetly rota o alar e P Y g amount of nntri r man4 for be P oduution of eeed during the Summer and growth earl next season, Toget the beet rot y roots for Winter foreleg 11 ea well tie allow the plants be make their fall growth with little or no cropping of the leaves the previous season, and above all not to allow them to exhaust themoelees by throwing np end stalks. The more liberally the planta are manored and the better they ere cultivated, the stronger the roots beaome end the better the crop they will give when forced in the cellar. In preparing the roote for tide oellar, they ehoold be dug np late in the Fail, jttat before the grdand freezes brad. They ebould then be left where they will be exposed to severe freezing for three or four teethe. If planed ander cover in en open abed, or where they will not be buriedin snow, ib will be all the easier to get at them when it ie time to tette them to the • oellar. About Obrietmae bime they may be put in the cellar and ,hould be banked with earth to keep the theta motet, Clete ehoold be taken that the planta are set right aide up, ae at that eosean it hi sometimes difEtttrlt to tell whioh side of the hall of earth the nrnwns are on. In the domes 01 a Pew deye the ra°is will thew outend aus model) moisture ie tneemelt/Minted to keep them freed for eome time. They ehoold be walobed, however, as they may need teetering onoe or twice during. the Winter to keep the soil moist, The warmer the other, the more gniokly growth will stoat, but for Ghe lost re tufts it rather low temperature, about the eome ae that in wbiob potatoes are kept, is best, Itt a partially lighted caller the leaf Mediae will expand very little, and all the strength of the roots will go to the development of the etalke, It the cellar ie light, it ie well to darken the part where the plants are kept. It the roots are strong and vigorous, stales one and a half to two feet in length and two inches in diameter will be produoud with little or no expansion of the leaf blade at the top. When grown ,bee in the dark, none of the chlorophyl or green coloring matter of the lea( develops, end the etalke are bleaohod to a pinky white. Whey cooked or made into gauge or pies, they turn a beenti(al pink Dolor and are mnoh Suer in appearance and Devon than etalke whioh are grown in the ordinary way in the garden. Dropping may begin as soon es tbe etalke are well developed, and May be continued for several weeks, until the toots have exhausted tbemeelvae after wbiob they should be thrown out as they are of little dee for growing again. We would suggest that our readers try growing two or three roots this winter, and let us know the results next Spring. EDITORIAL NOTES.
