BUCHANAN’S MUSTARD-SPINACH 
265—TOKAYO MUSTARD-SPINACH—Also known as Tender- 
green, Evergreen and Lice Resisting. This splendid “greens” 
plant is rapidly gaining in popularity throughout the South. 
It is largely used instead of Spinach in Japan and the Orient 
because it grows on and stays tender even in dry w'eather. 
That is just what w'e need in the South, hence its growing 
favor. Tendergreen is a plant used for “greens” only, about 
half between Spinach and Mustard, and preferred by many 
to either. It is becoming popular in markets where it is 
known and w T e believe it to be a coming “greens” crop for 
both home garden and market growers. It can be grown 
most of the year, being quite hardy in winter and standing 
hot w'eather as well. Leaves are large, thick, succulent, of 
deep green color and with small midribs. Tendergreen 
does not make a bulbous root like Turnips, simply a small 
taproot about 3 inches long. Leaves are gathered and boiled 
for “greens” just like Turnips, Mustard, Spinach and Kale. 
The flavor of Tendergreen compares most favorably with 
any other “greens” vegetable and w'e hope you will at least 
try Tendergreen in your garden this year. Remember its 
great value in remaining tender under most trying weather 
conditions. Ready to cut in 25 days.
