It usually thrives best in moist loamy soils such as are found in oak or maple forests at the north. Mr. George Stanton, Summit Station, Onondaga County, New York, is the pioneer in ginseng culture in America. He has made the business profitable and has demonstrated the practicability of garden culture. His method of procedure is essentially as follows: Seed is sown as soon as it is ripe, in September, in a carefully prepared seed bed in well drained sandy loam. The bed is covered with leaf mould and with brush to prevent drying and cracking of soil. Eighteen months are usually required for germination. When the seedlings are two or three years old, they are transferred to permanent beds as carefully prepared as the first. The plants are set four to six inches apart each way and are not again disturbed, except to keep the weeds down, until the harvest time; which will be in four or five years from transplanting, or six or eight years from seed. Transplanting is best done in the fall and the roots are set so that the bud for the next year's Figure 3S.—Lattice-work slied for ginseng garden.
