STATISTICAL NOTES. 



71 



Remarks. 



Of the Scotch Kales, those exhibited by Mr. Hanan and 

 Messrs. Dobbie & Co. were very finely curled; but, on that 

 account, were not considered so hardy. Cottager's Kale, where a 

 good stock is secured, is one of the hardiest and most useful 

 of winter greens. Buda and Asparagus Kales are very useful 

 in severe winters, withstanding any amount of frost, and are 

 of fine quality.

Remarks. 



The Brussels Sprouts were mostly exhibited as plants, 

 and were scarcely in condition, the date being rather too 

 early for them. There is not much variety to be found beyond 

 size, and the present fashion, it may be noted, is in favour of 

 the large forms, which are often coarse and inferior in flavour 

 to the smaller.
