[Illustration: A PLANT-CHIMERA: TWO VARIETIES OF APPLE IN ONE.

Golden Russet and Boston Stripe combined in the same fruit, as the
result of a graft. Trees producing these apples bear only a few fruits
of this combination; the rest of the crop belongs entirely to one or
other of the two varieties concerned. The explanation of these chimeras
is that the original buds of the scion failed to grow, after the graft
was made, but an adventitious bud arose exactly at the juncture of stock
and scion, and included cells derived from both. These cells grow side
by side but remain quite distinct in the same stem, each kind of cell
reproducing its own sort. From "Journal of Heredity," May, 1914.

The Rhubarb Plant.

LUDVIG MOSBAEK, ASKOV.

Rhubarb, or pieplant, as it is more commonly called, is one of the
hardiest and at the same time a most delicious fruit. When the stalks
are used at the right stage and given the proper care by the cook, they
are almost equal to fresh peaches.

Rhubarb can be transplanted every month in the year, but the best time
is early spring or August. There are especially two things rhubarb will
not stand, "wet feet and deep planting." Most beneficial is good natural
or artificial drainage and rich soil, made so by a good coat of manure,
plowed or spaded in, and a liberal top dressing every fall, cultivated
or hoed in on the top soil the next spring. Fifty plants or divisions of
a good tender variety planted 3 to 4 feet apart will supply an average
household with more delicious fresh fruit and juice for six months of
the year than five times the space of ground devoted to currants,
gooseberries or any other fruit, and if you have from 50 to 100 plants
you can afford to pick the first stalk that sprouts up in April and
still figure on having an abundance to keep you well supplied all
summer.

Do you really know what a delicious beverage can be made from the juice
of rhubarb mixed in cool water? Take it alon
