Any very valuable article finds ready thieves if unprotected — Ginseng being no 
exception to the rule — but it is amply worth any expense incurred in protecting it. 
To conclude, it will be observed that with ordinary attention to details Ginseng can 
be grown with large and sure profits. 
Any questions that may arise are always gladly answered. 
It seems probable that Ginseng can be grown in every state of the Union if the 
required conditions naturally exist, or are produced artificially, as it is found wild in 
perhaps thirty states. 
A map (Fig. No. 9) showing the natural range of the Ginseng plant in the United 
States, prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture, is given below. 
Ginseng is probably sparingly found growing wild in other states, and at one time 
was abundant in Ontario and Quebec, but has now become rather scarce, as it has been 
so energetically hunted by native "sang" diggers. This is the reason, also, for its 
present rarity in the United States.
