Carters Russian Kale ( Chou de Russie ) 
Award of Merit and First-Class Certificate after trial at Wisley 
The only novel variety of Kale in the trial considered worthy of the award. No other Kale in the 
whole trial of fifty-four 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. 
Price, .25 per pkt. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midletori’s Head Gardener says: “Foliage of a dark-green nature, short and sturdy, producing 
large quantities of sprouts, when cooked arc delicious. It stands the winter better than most of the better known kales, 
and should be grown everywhere.” — Mr. Quainton. 
Carters Welsh Kale 
A hardy variety of very handsome appearance ; of medium height, 
the leaves are long and densely curled, but are more narrow than our 
Half Tall Scotch variety. The flavour is particularly good. 
Price, .25 per pkt. 
Carters Half Tall Scotch Kale 
A fitting companion to our well-known Dwarf Extra Curled

weather, and the greater the frost the more delicate the leaves.
