Horse radish is often allowed to
grow year after year in some garden
corner, the roots being dug whenever

woody and misshapen after the first
year, the best results are obtained by
planting new sets each snrinE and
the plants taken up in the fau OF the
next spring The plant is propagated
from cuttings Of the roots called
"sets." These should be five or six
inches long and in size ranging from
that Of lead pencil 70 that OF a mans
little finger. For straight. thick roots
the soil should be deeply prepared. 1t
