Horse Radish Plants 



The horse radish belongs to the small company of plants 

 that have given up the habit of producing seed. It is propa- 

 gated solely bw division, and therefore is not subject to improvement 

 by selective breeding. Mr. Burbank once facetiously offered to give a 

 thousand dollars an ounce for horseradish seed. He received many 

 packages of seeds in response to this offer; but none of them pro- 

 duced horseradish plants. Mr. Burbank says the offer is still 

 open, but there is small probabitity that any one will win 

 the prize, for the horseradish seems to have perma- 

 nently abandoned the habit of seed production.
