Carters Exhibit of Kales, &c. (from Trials at Raynes Park), Royal Horticultural Society’s 
Hall, November 19th, 1912, awarded Silver Banksian Medal. Carters Russian Kale top 
left-hand corner. 
CARTERS RUSSIAN KALE 
( Chou de Russ i e). 
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 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 delicate in flavour. 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 quantities 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, Godaiming.
