GINSENG 
Just in case you have forgotten some of the 
points about GINSENG, you have secn in our 
printed matter, we will send a brief review. 
GINSENG has been a sort of a “cure ali” by 
the Chinese for 2,500 years. Th U. S. has been 
shipping GINSENG to China since 1835. 
Three out of four raw fur buyers also buy 
GINSENG. Growing GINSENG is not a get 
rich quick proposition, it appeals only to those 
who are looking out for their own or their 
family’s future. 
To get an annual income after the first crop 
matures it would be necessary to plant some 
each year, the same as is necessary with most 
farm crops. The cost of ginseng seed is much 
less than most garden crops for six years, be- 
cause ginseng is necestary only once in six 
years. GINSENG will grow any place in the 
U. S. where garden crops grow, the principal 
difference being GINSENG requires at least 
partial shade and it does best when mulched 
to retain the moisture, ground wet or subject to 
overflow will not do. Shade and mulch dlis- 
courage weed growth, so there is little work 
from the time of planting, and re-setting un- 
til harvesting. 
After the second year GINSENG produce seed 
for sale or for planting more ground. Shade 
from trees or vines is much cheaper than ar- 
tificial shade of cull lumber, lath, edgings etc, 
but yields considerable less in pounds, quality 
better. To get a double crop and improve the 
looks of a vacant lot start growing grapes now 
to shade the ginseng when reset later. 
Figure what one pound of seed (8000) cost- 
ing $10.00 would bring you at 65c per root, (the 
price we sold one lot for), 25c each might be 
a safer estimate, or even 10c each will surprise 
you. What better can you do with $1000 and a 
few hours work. We keep some seeds in cold 
storage for late orders. We guarantee a germ- 
ination of 80% in lots of three pounds or more.
