Florida Broad Leaf 
A vigorous, large leaf variety that grows 
fast but stands longer than most varieties 
before bolting to seed. The leaves are large, 
yellowish-green in color; nearly smooth 
without fringing. The mid rib is a lighter 
shade of green. 
Fordhook Fancy 
Not as large as Southern Giant Curled. 
The leaves are more fringed and crumpled. 
A very attractive variety and excellent in 
quality. The growth habit is upright. 
Smooth Leaf, Large Broad Leaf 
Chinese 
Large broad oval leaves of deep green col- 
or with a white mid-rib. A vigorous variety, 
Mustard-Spinach, Tendergreen 
A mild-flavored, oriental type of mustard. 
Foliage may be used for greens when plant 
is quite young and until it is quite fully 
matured. Prepared for the table same as 
spinach or turnip greens, Quick growing 
with long, broad, fairly smooth leaves. 
Southern Giant Curled, Long Standing 
The most popular variety for greens. 
Long, wide, light green leaves tinged with 
yellow, heavily crumpled and curled at edges. 
Small reddish brown seed. 
White 
This variety goes to seed too quickly to 
permit using the leaves for greens. The 
white seeds are much used in pickling. When 
mixed with “brown” mustard seed and 
ground, the commercial medicinal or table 
mustard is produced.
