Paralee Davis Old Fashioned

Leaves green, toothed, dissected, and slightly prickly. Narrow, light green, round petioles. Bolted fairly early when grown in the spring at Heritage Farm. Performed much better in the fall. Good flavor, slightly spicy, moderately bitter. This variety was donated to SSE by Ophelia Strickland of Hodges, Alabama, probably in the 1980s, who indicated that the mustard dates to circa 1865.
