GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



1069 



the gospel of Christ Jesus, as I pray and believe they 

 will be in due time, the demand for ginseng at several 

 dollars a pound will be gone. If you wish to invest a 

 dollar or two in plants to experiment with, all right. 

 One man who wrote had already invested in plants and 

 seeds to the value of $100. Now, even if you should de- 

 cide to go into the btiiness, do not make any such in- 

 vestment until you have had a little experience fust on 

 a limited scale. We have two books on the subject — 

 one worth 10 cents, and the other 50 ; l)ut I have taken 

 both out of our book-list, because I do not exactly ap- 

 prove of the industry, if, however, you want informa- 

 tion on the subject, these two books I hive mentioned 

 will give you a pretty fair statement of the matter.
