註釋Ginseng, the much-touted panacea of the Orient, has a colorful history on our own continent. American ginseng, closely related to the Chinese variety, was harvested to near extinction in Canada in the 1700s in a boom-and-bust frenzy. Still in high demand today, the export of ginseng to Asia has made a comeback. Wild ginseng is still a rare commodity, but the cultivation of it is quietly becoming a burgeoning industry in Wisconsin. This grower's guide covers several techniques, with harvest cycles ranging from 4 to as long as 15 years. The would-be ginseng farmer will find detailed information about the growth requirements of this reclusive, shade-loving plant. There is also historical and botanical background, coverage on hunting the wild root and conservation, and a chapter on medicinal use of the herb. - David Siegfried--BL 09/15/1995.
