best of the finely curled leaf strains, really beautiful enough to grace a flower garden.

more leading Northern houses as “Ostrich Plume.” If you like mustard for either

Chinese Mustard ^NOi 277) An entirely distinct, yet thoroughly good

thousands of pounds during recent years. It is of much larger growth than the 
Curled, about the same quality for salads 
or boiling and remains in condition for 
use a long time. The quick almost rank 
growth of the Chinese, insures tender- 
ness, mildness and freedom from bitter 
flavor. The engraving above from a photo- 
graph shows the general appearance of 
the leaves. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10c;
