GINSENG. 



Can some reader of the Eeview give 

 me information about ginseng? What 

 is it used for and what is the culture? 



R. V. 



The ginseng of commerce is Panax 

 quinquefolium of botany. The name 

 panax would indicate that it is for its 

 curative properties that it is valued and 

 as a matter of fact by some it is regard- 

 ed as the panacea for all ills that human 

 flesh is heir to. It is not largely used 

 in America except as a demulcent. In 

 China, however, it is regarded as having 

 properties which could only be attributed 

 to it by superstition. The large sale 

 for the roots in that country has led 

 to the exportation of the American root 

 until the plant in a wild state is now 

 seldom met with. It is cultivated, but 

 a large majority of those who undertake 

 the industry meet with failure because 

 of ignorance of the plant's many pecu- 

 liarities. It may be propagated from 

 seeds, germinating the first or second 

 year, according to whether they are fresh 

 or dry. The soil must be light, rich 

 and well drained. 



Because of the high price at which 

 ginseng roots have sold it has been made 

 the means of swindling a large number 

 of credulous persons, and glowing de- 

 scriptions of the profits to be made by 

 purchasing from any of the numerous 

 ginseng companies are to be taken with 

 a very large grain of allowance. For 

 further information on this plant and 

 its culture write to the Department of 

 Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for bul- 

 letin No. 16 of the Division of Botany. 



WELL SATISFIED.
