IMPORTANT 
How We Plant Our Ginseng Seed 
When we plant seed broadcast to grow 
plants for transplanting purposes, we plant the 
seed at the rate of one pound to every 2 rods 
of bed, the bed being 4% ft. wide. Cover seed 
about 1% inch with well pulverized soil, then 
mulch with well rotted leaves, or old sawdust, 
about 2 inches deep. The mulch should be left 
_ on the beds at all times as it helps to keep the 
soil moist and cool, enabling the plants to with- 
stand considerable hot and dry weather.
