ROPOPiT OX SAVOYS GROWH AT CHISWICK. 
109 
scribed, and correct photographs of most of them have been 
secured for future comparison. 
The variation in appearance of different stocks of the same 
variety was in some cases very remarkable, and where very 
decided these have been given as distinct. But very few of the 
stocks received were so pure but that more than one variety could 
have been selected. The classification arrived at was determined 
by the average appearance. 
Cape (Nutting and Sons ; Carter & Co.). 
Plant of spreading habit, from 14 to 16 inches high, and from 
2 to 2^-feet in diameter, with a short stem. Leaves rather small for 
size of plant, of a bluish-green colour, faintly tinged with brown 
on the outer edges, coarsely curled and leathery. Heart roundish, 
from 6 to 7 inches in diameter, very firm and solid. A late and 
very hardy sort, but of coarse and inferior quality. 
Du Cap (Yilmorin et Cie.). 
A very curled variety of the preceding. 
Chou de Milan Suisse (Carter & Co.). 
This is properly a Borecole of strong growth, forming no heart; 
leaves somewhat curled like the Savoy, very hardy, and useful in 
severe winters. 
Court Hdtif (Yilmorin et Cie.). 
Plant dwarf, height 10 inches, the heads almost resting on the 
ground, diameter from 22 to 24 inches. Leaves large, spreading, 
rounded, of a light green colour, very curled near to the heart; 
hearts of medium size, flattened, from 6 to 8 inches in diameter; 
tolerably firm and solid, of a pale green colour. A very early sort 
of the mid-season section, but soon decays. Inferior.
