i'm inclined to agree with sid on this one. you can buy named varieties seed. the one you have will produce seed but as sid says it may not be exactly as the original.

I haven't heard of propagating rhubard from seed.....I suspect the resultant plants would not be identical to the parents and may be weaker/poorer plants. A better way to increase your stock would be to divide an established clump.
