Garden Time
This column chould he of gene
, ral interest to all readers but
more specifically to our mountain
folks who produce rhubarb in
their gardens.
Strangely enough, and 1 do
not know the reason for it, but
the word "rhubarb” has long been
associated with heated arguments
and heckling that develop during
the playing of athletic contests.
This is not the kind we will dis
cus* here.
Rhubarb is a member of the
buckwheat family and related to.
the docks and sorrels. Some 50
species are distributed naturally:
from Asia Minor to Central Asia
and Siberia About half of the'
species are to be found in the
area of Tibet.
Rhubarb was first used as a
drug plant (the roots) then as
a pot-herb (the leaves). History
has it that a cook was about to
throw the stalks away, having
already put the leaves to boil,
when he decided to taste the raw
stalk. He found the taste to be
pleasing so he made a pie, with
pleasing results. Today, it is cus
tomary in America to use th<*
stalks with the leaves cut off.
There may also be some people
who still prepare the leaves as
you would spinach.
When I was a youngster we
always had rhubarb in our gar
1en. Come spring, rhubarb sauce
was a must to get things regu
lated after a long, hard snowy
winter. We did not have Serutan
in those days.
Certain species of rhubarb are
still used for medicinal purposes
These species originally came
from China. Now that the Chi
nese supply has been cut off.
Indian rhubarbs are being supp
lied from the Himalaya region.
The roots are dug in the fall
cleaned, peeled and cut inte
pieces. These pieces are dried in
a kiln or in the sun. Sometimes
holes are punched in the roo'
slices and they are hung up to
dry.
Medicinal preparations are used
primarily for children. As an in
fusion. rhubarb acts as a stomach
bitter and improves the appetite.
Small doses of the root are used
to arrest diarrhea. In larger doses
>r when combined with other pur
! gative botanicals, it acts as e
| cathartic. When the volatile pur
| gative is boiled out, the burned
root is said to be useful as an
internal astringent
