GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

GINSENG. 



Now is the time to start a ginseng-garden. Septem- 

 ber, October, and November are the best months to re- 

 set the roots or sow the seed. Yon should buy from 

 responsible parties, so that j-ou will not get the Japan- 

 ese ginseng. It is a cheap and worthless ginseng that 

 has been exported to this country to a great extent. 

 True American ginseng is a great money plant. 



These are the kind of letters I get :

 ber, are for fall delivery. I want nice roots, and it

 putting several hundred dollars into the cultivation of 

 ginseng, provided I can get the seeds and roots at the 

 right price. Please quote me your best prices.

 sale this fall? It so, I shall want from $100 to S200 

 worth of seedlings — two and three year-old plants. I 

 am an invalid, and have been all my life. I have a 

 few hundred dollars laid by that I should like to in- 

 vest in something that would not require much labor 

 to look after, and bring me more than 3 per cent for 

 my money. A friend here who has a small garden 

 that he started three j'cars ago advised me to try gin- 

 seng culture. Give me your lowest cash prices on the 



above sizes.
