When ready to dig, the roots should average at 
least one ounce each, green. This would make ap- 
proximately 18 pounds of dry roots to each square 
rod. Dry Golden Seal roots usually sell for $2.00 to 
$3.00 per pound. At the time of going to press with 
this catalog, medicinal root buyers are paying $5.00 
per pound for the roots and 65 cents per pound for 
the leaves and stems. At the present price of roots, 
18 pounds of dry roots per square rod would bring 
you $90.00 per each square rod. At this rate an acre 
of roots would be worth more than $14,000.00. Be- 
sides, you would add to this the amount you would
