A typical Plant of Southern Giant Curled or 
Foodhook Fancy Mustard. 
Cutture. General cultural directions similar to those for 
cabbage, (see page 10) except seed is always planted direct in 
the field or garden. Mustard is one of the quickest growing 
“greens.” Sow seed August to March in good, rich garden soil 
in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and thin to 6 to 10 inches in the 
row. Heavy fertilization with a fertilizer mixture high in ni- 
trogen or ammonia and moist soil are conducive for quick 
growth, high yield and good edible quality. Does best, and 
has most agreeable flavor, when grown in cool weather of late 
fall, winter and early spring. Makes a very healthy, nutritious 
dish, high in food value, when boiled for greens. 
The number of days after each variety indicates the time 
from seed planting in the field or garden to harvest stage.
