Fig-. 15 A dried ginseng root, 

 fibers removed and ready for the mar- 

 ket. This root shows the typical trans- 

 verse wrinkles by which the mature 

 age can be distinguished. Roots show- 

 ing these transverse wrinkles, short 

 and chunky, similar to the one here 

 shown, and weighing from three-fourths 

 of an ounce and over, are very desirable 

 and bring a good price. (From Special 

 Crop )
