Henry Clarke & Sons as Jerusalem kale. 
Cottager's Kale, 
It seems to be generally agreed that the cottager's kale is to 
preserve its undisputed individuality, as there were no instances, 
throughout the trial, of this excellent variety being received under 
any other name. 
Curled Kale. 
By far the most popular and most extensively cultivated of all 
the kales are the curled or Scotch kales, sometimes also called 
Curlies, German Greens, or Borecole. 
There are four distinct forms of the curled kale — the dwarf and 
tall green curled, and the dwarf and tall purple curled. Those 
which are most generally cultivated are the green forms; and the 
great object of cultivators is to obtain ihese witli the leaves as finely

as Dwarf green curled Sandsworth, from Messrs, Yeitch & Son 
as Veitclis dwarf late curled, from Messrs. Minier, Nash & Nash, 
and Messrs. Beck, as Divarf green curled Canada, from Messrs. 
F. & A. Dickson as Dickson's Imperial divarf curled, and from 
Messrs. Barr and Sugden as Nerv moss curled. All of these 
differed from each other only in the degrees of intensity with 
which the leaves were curled ; and in this respect the New moss
