Growing Medicinal Plants 
A little space in your backyard or garden can be made 
to add greatly to your income. Drugs have rapidly in¬ 
creased in price during the past few years, so now is the 
time to begin growing root crops for medical purposes. 
Ginseng is the biggest money-maker of them all. It 
formerly grew wild in many parts of the United States— 
but the crop of wild root is now nearly exhausted, and it 
has become necessary to cultivate these plants. The de¬ 
mand is increasing and the supply decreasing, so you 
would make no mistake in devoting a part of your time 
to the growing of this plant. 
Read the following news item clipped from a Wisconsin daily paper: 
“Wausau, Wise., May 21—(Special)—Perhaps by far the most valuable load of products of the 
soil that ever crossed the streets of Wausau, was seen a few days ago, drawn by one horse. The 
load consisted of eighteen inconspicous barrels, and no one would have surmised its value had it not 
been that J. H. Koehler was seen watching it with eagle eyes. Upon inquiry it was found that the 
barrel contained 1,343% pounds of ginseng, which had been sold for $8,061.00, and was now being 
started on its long journey to China. The crop was grown on one-half acre of ground near Wausau.”
