Elephant Ear Mustard
When planted in the summer or early fall this new variety makes very large single plants if given room to develop. Each plant produces numerous extra large leaves of good substance and of most appetizing pungency. It succeeds well also from spring plantings, but does not make leaves so large during the warm summer as it does in the cooler fall or winter months. Grown in rich soil, the leaves attain eighteen inches to two feet in length; they are of a light-green color, with large white ribs or leaf-stalk. One plant will produce sufficient leaves for a large mess of greens. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ¼ lb., 25c; lb., 75c.
