MUSTARD BAKTOY 
Different from other mustards and of all “greens” the king. 
Resembles an Immense head of lettuce, but the leaves have very 
prominent midribs, exceedingly tender and Juicy. The hearts are 
most excellent to be eaten raw either as celery or with salad dressing 
as a salad proper. Boiled or stewed no other greens quite equal it 
in tenderness and exquisite flavor. The whole plant is remarkably 
succulent, crisp and tender. All who have tried Baktoy are hearty 
in their praises of its flavor and high quality. Of quick growth, can 
be sowed in the spring, and again for a fall crop. Baktoy will stand 
nearly six weeks and all this time will remain in prime condition 
and shoots to seed only when the weather is quite dry and hot. 
Baktoy will be popular upon first trial and should appeal to growers 
who cater to a special trade where quality is appreciated. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 10c; 1 lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00.
