Chinese Smooth Leaf (Elephant’s Ear) Mustard 
Cutture. General cultural directions similar to those for cab- 
bage (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 24 inches apart and thin to 8 to 10 inches in the row. 
Heavy fertilization with a fertilizer mixture high in nitrogen 
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. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.
