CuBLED Kale. — By far the most popular and most exclusively 
cultivated of all the kales are the curled or Scotch hales, sometimes 
also called Curlies, German Q-reens, or Borecole. 
There are four distinct forms of the curled kale — the dwarf and 
tall green curled, and the dwarf and tall purple curled. Those 
which are most generally cultivated are the green forms ; and the 
great object of cultivators is to obtain these with the leaves as finely 
and as much curled as possible ; and, in proportion as they are so, 
the more or less is the stock appreciated. Hence has arisen the 
great number of names under which they are sold. Prom Messrs. 
Drummond Brothers and Mr. Cattell, the green form was received 
as Prince of AVales ; from Messrs. H. Clarke & Son and Messrs. 
Carter & Co., as Hearting kale; from Messrs. Hurst & Son as 
Cahhaging and Tall curled ; from Messrs. Sutton & Son as Sclater’s 
New Cahhaging ; from Messrs. Carter & Co. as Feathered Scotch and 
Ahergeldi ; from Messrs. Lawson & Son as Superh Parsley curled, 
Williams's Matchless, and Pontefract green curled ; from Messrs. 
Stuart & Mein as Tgnningham ; from Mr. AVilliam Paul as Jackson's 
late curled ; from Messrs. Fisher, Holmes & Co. as Dwarf green 
curled Handsworth; from Messrs. Veitch & Son as Veitch's dwarf 
late curled; from Messrs. Minier, Nash & Nash, and Messrs. Beck, 
as Dwarf green curled Canada; from Messrs. F. & A. Dickson as 
Dickson's Imperial dwarf curled; and from Messrs. Barr & Sugden 
as New moss curled. All of these differed from each other only in 
the degrees of intensity with which the leaves were curled ; and in 
this respect the New moss curled of Messrs. Barr & Sugden was 
remarkable. 
The Dwarf purple form was sent by Messrs. Carter & Co. as 
Jerusalem kale, and by Messrs. A. Henderson & Co. as Lapland; 
the Tall purple from Messrs. Wrench & Son as Brown Borecole. 
Jeesey Kale. — This is also called Cesarean cow-cahhage, Tree- 
cahhage, and Jersey Borecole. It is a tall-growing plant, attaining 
the height of four or five feet, the stem clothed with long, broad 
glaucous green leaves, with long foot-stalks. In spring it throws 
out numerous long tender shoots, with which cattle are fed. It is 
never grown as a garden vegetable. 
Long Scotch Kale. — This was received from Mr. William 
Gorrie, of Edinburgh, as the true “ Long Scotch kale.” It is the 
normal form of the wild cabbage, as it is found on the Dorsetshire 
coast. It was sent by Messrs. Vilmorin & Co., under the name of 
Couve murciana — and by Messrs. Sutton & Son, of Bachman's hardy 
winter greens. 
Maekow Kale. — This is the Chou moellier of the French — a 
form of the Jersey kale which produces a long thickly-swollen stem 
like a gigantic cigar, the swollen part being filled with a mass of 
tender pith. There are three varieties of the Marrow kale, distin- 
guished as the white, the purple, and the small. The white grows 
from four to four and a half feet high, the stem being smallest at 
both ends, and thickest in the middle, where it is about a foot in 
circumference in the largest specimens. 
Milan Kale. — The name by which this is often called is Chou 
February.
