Ken,
In my dictionary (Random House College Dictionary) as the 17th
definition of "throw" it has this:
(of domestic animals) to bring forth (young).
I raise Bulldogs and we commonly talk of the potential of the
female dog (I won't use the correct word on this forum) "throwing"
good pups. I guess that this has carried over to hostas as well.
Thanks!
