F\g. 10. Four dried ginseng 

 roots, fibers removed and ready for the 

 market. Roots of this general form — 

 circumference about equal to length — 

 when well matured and weighing from 

 onehalf ounce to one ounce and over 

 are considered desirable, and bring a 

 good price. (From Special Crops.) 



Fig. 17. Three dried 

 ginseng roots. These were 

 dug before maturity. Note 

 the entire absence of the 

 transverse wrinkles necessarj' 

 to indicate maturity. Roots 

 like these are undesirable; 

 they should not be dried but 

 should be transplanted and 

 allowed to grow until better 

 matured. (From Special 

 Crops. )
