Abstract:

At one time ginseng harvesting dating back to Colonial days was done on a large scale in the state's mountains. It is the root, not the leaves or berries, that is the most sought after part of the plant. The wild root can bring prices from six to thirteen dollars a pound. New York City is the best market for selling, and from there it is exported to China.
