570 Notices of Communications to the Society. 



April 30, 1821; The following communication was re- 

 ceived by the Secretary, from John Wedgwood, Esq. " I 

 have been trying an experiment with Buda Kale, which has 

 answered completely, this is blanching it as you do Sea Kale, 

 by turning a pot over it, and letting it remain covered till it 

 is quite blanched. When cut and dressed in that state it is 

 excellent, and one advantage will be, that the same plant will 

 furnish two cuttings, for the sprouts are more delicate than 

 even the original heart of the plant. I used no dung to 

 force it, but this might be applied with great advantage ; and 

 I think it would be an excellent substitute for Sea Kale/'
