How to Preserve Leaves and Plants.

HOW TO Preserve AeaFCS AO0 Z A1AAA0'
To preserve leaves and other parts Of
plants properly they should be placed
between sheets Of blotting paper, and
the papers should be changed once a
day for two or three days. They
should be dried as rapidly as possible
by passing warm fadron over the
paper each time the change Is made.
They should be kept under moderate
pressure at first, and to insure even
pressing 1t will be well to place stf
piece Of cardboard or strawboan at
intervals between the sheets. When
the drying appears to be well advanced,
the pressure on the specimens! may be
increased.
