Improved Mustard 



The mustard is a plant to which the ordinary amateur 

 gardener pays very little attention. "Mustard is mustard," 

 would probably be his comment, and it would not occur to him that 

 the plant is one having any particular interest from the standpoint of 

 the would-be plant developer. In point of fact, however, there is a 

 good range of variation between different mustards, and Mr. Bur- 

 bank has seized on these variations for material to work 

 conspicuous improvements, notably as regards the 

 amount and quality of the pungent principle 

 for which the mustard seed is prized.
