. Some information about the root "sang" or ginseng and cultural directions. Nurseries (Horticulture) Massachusetts Boston Catalogs; American ginseng Catalogs. 6 Harlan P. Kelsey, Tremont Building, Boston, and Kawana, N. C. i. FiG. (). Lath shade. least an inch below the surface. Dirt is pulled in with the hand as each plant is set, and after firming the row with the foot, the bed is smoothed off with a fine-toothed rake. The middle of the board is then placed directly over the row, and the planting of the next row is proceeded with. This leaves the plants 5 by 6 inches apart, each row containing 15 plants in a 6-feet-wide bed. To find out the number of plants such a bed will hold, multi- ply the length of the bed in feet by 30. Some prefer sowing the seeds singly in drills 2 or 3 inches apart, and at intervals of 1 to 2 inches apart in the row. In this event the same plant- ing-board can be used, only the notches on one edge must be cut the required distance apart, the rows being 3 inches or less apart instead of (J inches, as in the case of the plants. As shown in the illustration (Fig. No. 8), the shading in summer may also be accom- plished by raising the lath covering on a framework of scantling firmly attached to posts, and high enough to permit of standing under it. The beds, however, should be boxed in as before noted, and on the approach of winter the sections of lath covering are removed to a barn or other dry place. This makes a rather elaborate stmicture, but is really preferable to the beds being covei-ed individually, allowing cultivation without handling of the shades. Each spring the beds should receive a fine dressing of very rich loam, which is to be scattered over the old leaf mulching. But all the weeds must be pulled out as they appear, and the spaces between the rows kept stirred up loose with a small hoe or weeder. great care being taken not to strike and injure the roots or tops. As the seed ripens it should be collected immediately
