. Some information about the root "sang" or ginseng and cultural directions. Nurseries (Horticulture) Massachusetts Boston Catalogs; American ginseng Catalogs. Fig. 4. Wild root (human form). (BkU.

After filling the box in this manner, see that there are sev- eral inches of the covering over the last layer of seed, to prevent drying out. A wire netting of fine mesh should be securely tacked over all. to prevent the attacks of mice. The whole should be kept in a moist cellar, or may be left out of doors if the box is plunged level to the top in soil. In planting the seeds, they should be scattered evenly and thinly on a prepared bed and covered with an inch or more of fine soil. The planting thus being done in the fall, twelve months after the seeds are collected, they should then be cov- ered with leaves and straw, or similar covering, over which brush is laid. In the early spring the briish is removed and lath shade covers substituted. The beds may be made either i or 6 feet wide, and any length, and should always be surrounded by boards firmly nailed to posts, giving a rest for the lath shades. The boards used are of ordinary inch boxing, and should extend 2 feet or more from the ground. Where 6-feet-wide beds are made, the lath covers are made as shown in the illustration; viz., 4 by 6 feet. Ordinary laths are nailed 1 inch apart to 6 feet strips 1 inch thick and 2 inches wide, and then braced. Where the bed is made 4 feet wide, the laths are simply nailed to other laths with clinching nails. The latter size, being lighter, are the most easily handled covers, but the larger beds and shades are the most economical of room and lumber where the planting is on an extended scale. These lath covers are to stay on all sum- mer, to be replaced by mulching and brush in winter. The beds and subsequent treatment
