To Kale 'Chou de Russie' (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Carter, 

 High Holborn, W.C. This is a very old variety and known as Russian 

 Kale, and in the trying winter of 1906-7 it stood the winter at Wisley 

 better than any other variety in the Kale trials there. Plant about 20 

 inches high ; stem short and sturdy ; foliage a greyish green, much cut 

 and divided, and fringed at the margins. Habit very compact. In the 

 spring a great mass of tender sprouts are produced that are of excellent 

 flavour when cooked. In our opinion this is one of the most valuable 

 of all Kales, because of its hardiness, productiveness, and freedom from 

 disease. 



Other Exhibits. 



Mr. G. W. Miller, Wisbech, sent a dish of Apples found growing near 

 Lynn, which the Committee could not recognise.
