IV THE GINSENG INDUSTRY. 



In that pamphlet was contained all that was then known 

 to be of value in the cultivation of ginseng, and it was 

 favorably received by cultivators of this root throughout 

 the land. In the present treatise, the experience gained 

 by many growers during two more seasons of experiment 

 and observation has been added and the book thus 

 brought up to date. 



The information here presented has, therefore, been 

 gathered from many reliable sources and is thus really 

 the work of several authors, for whom the writer has 

 acted in the capacity of secretary. Amo:ig many to 

 whom thanks for valuable assistance are due a list too 

 long to give each separate mention special notice must 

 be given to the Division of Botany, United States 

 Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, and the Experiment Station of 

 Kentucky for the use of several illustrations throughout 

 the book, and to Messrs. Samuel Wells and Co., Cincin- 

 nati, Ohio, for helpful letters concerning markets.
