Mustard should be grown quickly and usually requires a fertilizer mixture 
high in nitrogen for heavy leaf production. 
FLORIDA BROAD LEAF. A smooth-leaved variety widely grown for its 
fine quality. The plants are large and upright. The leaves are exceptionally 
large and thick: bright green with paler green midribs. The leaf margins 
are toothed, rather than frilled. 
SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED, LONG STANDING. An improved strain which 
has replaced the original in many areas because of its ability to stand 
longer without bolting to seed, though a little later in maturing. The 
plants are large, spreading a little but mostly upright in growth. The 
leaves are large and wide, bright green, curled and frilled at the edges.

EMERALD. A green velvet type recently developed by the 
Campbell Soup Co. The plants are semi-dwarf and vigorous. 
The pods are deep green, round, slightly curved, practically 
free of spines, slender, tapered, with thick walls and ex- 
ceptionally good flavor. Pods are darker than other velvet 
types and very attractive. Can be snapped off instead of cut. 
PERKINS’ SPINELESS. An improved variety bred by the 
Campbell Soup Co., replacing the old spiny Perkins’ Mam- 
moth, to which it is much superior. The plants are dwarf, 
early and prolific; pods bright green, slender, ribbed and 
spineless. Our seed is from the asGRow pedigreed strain 
and comes from crops grown specifically for seed.
