Golden iSeal

This valuable medicinal heib can be successfully grown under cultivation in
all parts of the United States. It once grew wild in most of the rich forests of
our country, but only in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana and West \ ir-
ginia did it grow in large quantities. Fifty years ago it was practically unknown as
a medicine, and it sold at 5 cents a pound- As its medicinal virtues became bet-
ter understood, the use of i: became more general, causing the price to advance-
“Sang” diggers dug it in season and out, early and late, far and near, with the re-
sult that where it formerly grew as plentiful as May Apple, it is now almost extinct-
Then too, by the clearing up of rich woodlands, its home has been taken from it.

While the supply was decreasing the demand was increasing, causing the price to
advance, until during the winter of 1911 it was worth $5-00 a pound- Since then
the piice has fluctuated up and down, never getting below $3-25. This past sum-
mer it reached the enormous price of $11,50 per pound, and it is freely predicted
by manufacturing chemists that in a few years it will be worth $15 00 a pound.

IS IT PROFITABLE!? For the amount of capital invested 6and
labor required, there is no other line of agricultural work that pays so SURE,

QUICK and LARGE profits as the cultivation of Golden Seal does. Fifteen or
twenty dollars is plenty money to build an arbor one rod square and buy enough
(1000) roots to plant it- The only cultivation It requires consists in keeping the
weeds that come through the mulch pulled out. At the end of three years it will

be ready to dig, and the roots would average at least one ounce each, green, 1000

ounces would, when dried, make about 18 and 1-2 pounds; which at $4-50 a pound ( the present price ) would bring $83.25
for the square rod. An acre at these rates would be worth $13,320. This is not all, for enough small plants will be found

to set out twice as large a patch, besides the fiber roots that are left in the ground will form buds and reset the patch, d he

plants will bear several dollars worth of seed the second and third years-

1 he figures we have given you are very conservative, and are not overdrawn in any way. We have grown Seal roots
at only two years from planting, that weighed oyer four ounces each. Mr. C- M. Goodspeed, editor of Special Crops,
says that he bought a crop of cultivated Seal last winter that averaged nearly eight ounces each, dried. These roots were
seven years old. They were worth about $2.20 each- Think what an acre of such Seal would bring — $352,000. The
editor or Hunter, Trapper, Trader says that one of his subscribers sent him a Seal root that weighed full eight ounces, green.

An acre of such would bring over $96,000.

Soil, Shade and MarKet. Any good well drained soil is suitable for the growing of Golden Seal. The richer
the soil the better the Seal grows. Our choice is a sandy loam with a clay subsoil. Seal must have protection from the hot
sun in summer time. Many are successfully growing it in forests by cutting out the laige timber and grubbing out the
smaller brush, leaving the small sized trees to furnish the shade necessary. The fertility of the soil should be kept up by

fertilizing, and irrigation would insure moisture- Our experience, however, is that Seal will make five times the growth in same length of time under artiffeia

arbor as it will in the woods, with all the manure and water you want to give it. Golden Seal can be propagated best by'dividing the rhizoma into two or more

pieces. It requires an expert to grow it from the seed. Price 12 for $1.50, 100 for 5.00,’ll000 for*40-00.

PINK ROOT.

This herb grows well under culti-
vation, and repuires but little shade.
The price of the dried root is not high
like Golden Seal — but it is higher than
Golden Seal rvas fifteen years ago—
and the price is advancing. It yields
so well and is so easily grown that it
pays well to grow it.

We plant it six inches each way
requiring 1000 per rod. Our price is
$1.00 per dozen, $5.00 for 100.

Plant Small Fruits For Quick Returns.

Small fruits this season have paid the growers a net income
ranging from $300 to $1000 per acre. For the reason that there is a
short supply of all kinds of tree fruits that cannot be supplied for many
years to come, small fruits of all kinds will continue to bring handsome
prices. You get quick returns when you plant Strawberries, Raspber-
ries, Blackberries and Dewberries.. When you set out Berry Plants
you want the best. Thousands of successful fruit growers in all parts of
the country plant only Arkansas Nursery stock. Why? Because every
variety that leaves our Nursery is a sure bearer.

Plant small fruits, such as Dewberries, Gooseberries, Loganber-
ries, Juneberries, the Giant Himalaya Berry, Huckleberries, Japanese
Wineberries, Grapes and Strawberries. They are easy to grow and will
bring you big returns, and will also afford you the opportunity of putting
up your own fruit and add to the pleasure of living.
