The book provides a comprehensive overview of the peppermint plant, focusing on its botany, cultivation, harvesting, distillation, oil production, and commercial significance. Its primary topic is the peppermint industry, especially as it developed and thrived in the United States, alongside similar industries in other countries. The book is part of a government report, making it particularly relevant for those interested in agricultural practices, essential oils, or economic trends in plant-derived products during this era.  The book covers the characteristics of different varieties of peppermint, outlines where the plant is grown both domestically and internationally, and details the methods used to cultivate and harvest the crop. Special attention is given to the history and development of peppermint farming in the United States, particularly in states like Michigan, Indiana, and New York. The text also describes the technology used in distilling peppermint oil, compares oil quality among different mint types, and explains the importance and uses of peppermint oil and menthol in medicine and industry. Finally, statistical information about exports and price fluctuations offers a look into the economic challenges and opportunities faced by growers, making the book a thorough resource on the practical and commercial aspects of peppermint production.
