Market Farming

Marie -- the rhubarb variety = "Victoria," I think it's a pretty common one. 
 I've even gotten seeds for it from R. H. Shumway.  (It took a couple 
months for the seeds to arrive, but, I got the seeds...)

What's worked for us is to heavily mulch the rhubarb, keep it on driplines, 
and grow it in partial shade
(it's in the shade by 2 PM).  Still, even with all this, out of 100' we 
probably replace at least 4 plants every year...
