In the Spring, when the Pear tree is in bloom or as soon as the ground can be worked, drill in rows 
1 foot apart. To have a succession the sowings should be made every two or three weeks till October. Cut 
young; when old the flavor is strong. Used extensively in the South for greens. 
Black or Brown—30 Days 
Seed brown. Shoots to seed early. The oldest 
cultivated mustard. Used for the manufacture of 
ground mustard. 
Bloomsdale Large-leaved—35 Days 
Producing, when fully grown, immense leaves 
which are as long and as broad as Tobacco. These 
same leaves when size of a man’s hand are very 
tender and palatable as a salad. The leaves when 
twice that size we recommend for boiling as Spinach. 
This plant should have a place in every garden. An 
immense amount of edible and garnishing material 
can be raised in a very limited space. 
Chinese Broad Leaf—45 Days 
The mother variety from which Bloomsdale Large- 
leaved was selected and bred. Largely planted in all 
places where Mustard is used. 
Giant Southern Curled or Creole—35 Days 
Leaves large, yellowish green, much crumpled on 
the edges and very popular. The most popular 
Mustard on the market today but not equal to 
Ostrich Plume. Much more in demand and more 
productive seeder than the Ostrich Plume. 
Leaf of Ostrich Plume Mustard 
OSTRICH PLUME—40 Days 
This sort was grown, named and introduced fifty 
years ago by the Landreths and is recommended as 
the best Mustard in cultivation today, for it is more 
delicate, curly and ornamental than the Giant 
Southern Curled, and shoots to seed much more 
slowly than any other sort. It is sometimes called 
Fordhook Fancy. The light green, long plume-like 
leaves are very distinct and borne in profusion. It 
is a very shy seeder, therefore the seed is more ex¬ 
pensive than other sorts. 
Bloomsdale Mustard 
Mustard Spinach or Tender- 
green—28 Days 
Something new in greens. This 
vegetable, as its name implies, 
is a mild Mustard with a dis¬ 
tinct Spinach flavor. It is a very 
rapid grower. Slow to shoot 
to seed. The first cutting of 
plants four or five inches long- 
can be made in three or four 
weeks. It should first be planted 
in the Spring when greens are 
most in demand. It withstands 
heat wonderfully. Plantings 
made in July make an excellent 
crop.
