Ginseng is a Endangered Species, what little that is left in the Wild is Growing in such Isolation, that the Ginseng Plants are becoming Inbred.  This Shortens the Life Span of the Plant and depletes the Genetic Pattern in the Plant.  By Planting Genetically Cross Bred Ginseng Seeds in the Wooded Areas or amidst Wild Ginseng We are Reestablishing an Endangered Species in its Natural Environment.

10 Pounds of Ginseng Seeds should produce 350 to 400 Pounds of Ginseng Roots in 7 Years.  At todays Market ($70.00 to $125.00 for 7 year old Woods Grown Roots) a $549.95 investment could grow into $50,000 return.  You would also have gotten 3 years of Seed Crops and that should have yield 300 pounds of additional Seeds, that is a potential of another 210,000 more plants.

Brandi Jenks at the College of William and Mary   Writes;

Dear Mr. Hunter,
My name is Brandi Jenks and I am involved in the ginseng research at
the College of William and Mary with Holly Grubbs and Dr. Martha
Case. I understand that you have been very helpful with the portion
of the project involving the amount and distribution of genetic
variation in this species. Your help on the project has been
invaluable and we sincerely appreciate it.
My project this fall involves an examination of the types of animals
that may consume ginseng fruits. I am currently in the planning
stage of my experiments and am evaluating the likelihood of obtaining
at least 1000 whole, ripe (red) ginseng fruits for my experiment. My
advisor, Dr. Case, suggested that I contact you for your help.
In your opinion, do you think that there are enough fruits ripening
now that it would be possible for me to obtain a large quantity of
fruits from you or other growers? If so, would you consider helping
us again, or giving us ideas of who else we might contact? We have
a small budget, but we can offer some compensation you for your time
if you wish to send us fruits.
Additionally, we have learned that knowledge from growers is
invaluable, and we are therefore interested in hearing any ideas you
might have for animals that eat your fruits. We would be interested
in knowing about birds and mammals or even invertebrates such as
slugs. Anything you have observed or know may be important to us.
Your knowledge would no doubt help us to design the most appropriate
experiments.
Again, I thank you very much for your time and expertise. As you
know, your business will be whole heartedly acknowledged in all of
our publications and reports regarding this project.
Sincerely,
Brandi Jenks

Michael Hunter Writes; 
Dear Brandi, my Crop of Ginseng Seeds are already picked and in the stratifying pits.   Any of you growers who have some ripe seeds available, about 1/2 of a pound please forward them to me and I will pay you for them.  We need to exchange in formation with people like this in order to sussfully grow the kind of Quality that the market is demanding.  Lets here from you growers!

In closing We here at Glacial Ginseng have some outstanding "Glacial Gold" ginseng seeds ready for immediate shipment.   This years market is doing real good with reports of wild going at over the $300 per pound mark.  Over 90% of the wild ginseng that is being harvested is actually being raised by the people that are harvesting it.
