803 MUSTARD SPINACH 
An Entirely New Vegetable Recently 
Introduced 
It has a most delicious flavor peculiarly 
its own, and combines in itself the qual- 
ities of both Spinach and Mustard. 
It makes an excellent spinach grown 
in the same way, and it has the ad- 
vantage over any other plant used for 
greens, because it is ready for the table 
in from three to three and one-half weeks 
from planting the seed. 
A continuous supply for the table may 
be had by making successive sowings, 
because it flourishes during hot weather, 
as well as in moderate periods when 
ordinary varieties of spinach fail to 
grow. 
Chemical analysis shows this plant to 
have abundant protein, mineral matter, 
lime and iron.
