 while as to the latter, it is a universally admitted fact that it 

 is the best, heaviest and most solid lieading sort grown ni 

 Euroiie. It has cost the originator, a prominent Long Islfvnd

 care to select and fix this truly tine type of winter cabbage

NEW RUBICON HALF-LONG. In the Rubicon we

 symmetricid in shape and of a dark orange color, selected 

 and perfected by a Connecticut gardener. The stock is so 

 finely bred that the carrots have attained such uniform shape 

 that they are almost exact dujjlicates of each other. It is 

 earlier than the Danvers and about the same length; the 

 leaves are one-third shorter, fewer and finer than this well- 

 known sort; these features make it extremely well adapted 

 to growing under glass. It is a splendid sort, however, for 

 growing outside at any reason of the year. It grows without 

 neck, the crown is hollow and it grows well under the 

 ground, which prevents it from becoming sunburnt — a very 

 importantfeature. Many leading gardeners are now plant- 

 ing the Rubicon to the exclusion of all others. Pkt., 5e.; oz.,
