Review: An Older Book With Some Good Information
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was written in 1908, so remember the time frame this book was from when reading.  I was surprised by the information that I found, especially since the beginning was a little rambling.  I also thought the bulk of the book would be about Ginseng (which it was), but there were many medicinal plants that were covered as well.  My beef with many of these older books is a lack of pictures/drawings.  When you are talking about plants, having good visual aids would be helpful distinquishing various plants.  Another fault is talking about how much you can get for ginger on the market, and the amount of ginseng exported for various years.  Since this book is over 100 years old, the information is irrelevant to today.  Perhaps it could have been had the good information filtered from the unnecessary information...
