flavor.

MUSTARD 
Mustard is grown for greens and requires a 
loamy, rich soil, preferably a sandy loam. It is 
sown either broadcast or in drills; if it is 
sown broadcast about 8 quarts of seed are re- 
quired per acre, if in drills, 3 pounds per acre. 
MUSTARD S PIN AC H—Sometimes 
known as Tender Greens. This new 
vegetable, which is all its name im- 
plies, is a very mild mustard with a 
creamy spinach flavor. Mustard Spin- 
ach grows fast. The leaves are ready 
for cutting three to four weeks after 
planting. Dry, hot weather does not 
injure the crop.
