An early maturing (60 day) smooth leaf kale sold by Southern States Cooperative. For as long as I can remember this cultivar has been called Hanover Salet by the old folks and Hanover salad by city folks. It is a quick salad green. The name probably comes from the truck farmers of Hanover county which at one time was the fresh vegetable supplier for Richmond Va and vicinity.
