Brassica juncea 
Keystone Mustard Trials, Fall 1935 
CHINESE BROAD LEAVED MAPLE 
A commonly grown mustard,- a hardy and vigorous grower,- produces large, broad, 
oblong, smooth, serrate, medium green leaves; tender and excellent for greens, either 
as a salad or for boiling. This variety does not shoot seeders quickly. Seeds reddish 
brown. 
FLORIDA BROAD LEAVED MANTA 
A fine, large, rapid growing type, with rich green, thick, broad, oval, smooth but slightly 
crinkled, large, serrate-margined leaves. It is extensively grown because of its fine edible 
qualities and is not quick to bolt seeders. Seeds reddish brown. 
FORKHOOK FANCY CURLED or OSTRICH PLUME MARCH 
The most finely curled mustard that can be offered. Very desirable for its excellence in 
quality and for being so slow in bolting seeders. A vigorous, upright plant, with 
plumelike leaves that are rich bright green and deeply cut. Seeds reddish brown. 
SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED MARRY 
The leading mustard. It is unquestionably the most popular and widely known. It repre¬ 
sents a high standard in quality and attractiveness. Plant large and upright in growth. 
Leaves, large, long oval, crumpled, curled, and crinkled on the margins, bright yellowish 
green in color. Seeds reddish brown. 
SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED, LONG STANDING MARGO 
Awarded All-American gold medal in 1934. Identical in appearance with regular 
Southern Giant Curled, but extremely uniform and stands longer before shooting seed 
stalks. Most valuable for growing in warm weather.
