=Collection and uses of seeds.=—The seeds are to be collected in the
same manner as those of black mustard. White mustard seed has no odor
in its entire state, and when water is added in grinding it the odor
does not become so pronounced as in the case of black mustard, neither
is the taste so pungent.
In medicine mustard seeds are used principally in the preparation of
plasters and poultices. They are used also in dyspepsia, and in large
doses act as an emetic.
=Imports and prices.=—The imports into the United States of black and
white mustard together during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903,
amounted to 5,302,876 pounds. The price ranges from 3 to 6 cents per
pound for both the black and white mustard seeds.
