RUSSIAN KALE 
CARTERS RUSSIAN KALE ( Chou de Russie). 
liy kind peymission of " Cardeners' Cltyoniclc." 
Award of Merit and First Class Certificate after trial at 
Wisley, March 19th, 1907. 
The only novel variety of Kale in the trial considered worthy of the award. No 
other Kale in the whole trial of 54 stocks received the First Class Certificate. 
This distinct and extremely hardy variety stood the exceptionally severe winter 
better than any other variety grown ; the leaves are very curious, in form somewhat 
resembling a deer’s antler, of singularly thick substance, and of a peculiarly green 
colour. 
When cooked this is the most delicious variety of Kale which we have ever tried, 
the young shoots especially being particularly del. cate in fiavour. Our opinion is 
endorsed by a well-known writer in the Gardeners’ Chronicle who says : “ I have had the 
pleasure of tasting its sprouts cooked, and can verify the opinion passed upon it. It is 
exceptionally good.” 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midleton’s Head Gardener says ; — “ Foliage of a dark green 
nature, short and sturdy, producing large (juantities of sprouts, when cooked are delicious. 
It stands the winter better than most of the better known kales, and should be grown 
everywhere.”— Mr. Quainton, The Gardens, Peper Harrow Park, Godahning.
