Mustard is not only used as a 
condiment, but the large green 
leaves are used as a salad, or 
boiled like spinach and served 
as "greens.” They are fully as 
healthful and nourishing as 
spinach. Produces an abun¬ 
dance of tender, succulent 
leaves in four to five weeks. 
Culture. Sow frequently, in rows 
12 to 18 inches apart, coverinp seed 
V 2 inch deep. Thin plants to 5 to 6 
inches apart in the rows. Give clean 
cultivation. The plants are in con¬ 
dition for use as soon as the leaves 
are the size of one’s hand. Mustard 
runs to seed quickly, so that suc¬ 
cessive plantings are necessary for a 
continuous supply. One ounce will 
plant 100 feet of row; 2 to 3 pounds, 
an acre.
