burdocks or thistles require severer treat
ment.
l have. several weights varying from, say,
81 pounds to IL pounds. You will soon learn
how heavy weight is necessary for any given
plant; experience in such matter is the only
master.
Many botanists use screw-presses and, OF
course, screw press is a great advantage, as
you can employ just what pressure you please.
But screwpresses cost money, and It is quite
possible to get on without one, although if
any one is kind enough to give you one, do not
by any means refuse it.
But, supposing you have screw press, you
will still want some boards and weights as
well, for one press, even if a screw, is not
We will assume, then, that you have your
press, with paper and weights and cardboard
complete The next question is, How are you
to use them?
Suppose you are going to press a violet.
First clean the roots; then arrange the plant
as nicely and picturesquely on the paper as
you can, being careful that the leaves lie fiat;
cover it with eight or ten sheets Of paper,
and put it in the press, with light weight
only.
Next morning change, or just turn, the
papers, rearrange the position of the plant If
necessary, and put on a heavier weight. In
three or four days, perhaps less, such plant
as a violet will be perfectly dry.
Some plants, of course, take longer, some
less, ana IN every case the great pOlnt is TO
change papers daily, and to use suitable pres
sure.
In the case of plants like the orchids or
daffodAs it is well sometimes to make sec
tion Of the bulbs, otherwise it is almost i'm
possible to get satisfactory specimen.
So with the larger and coarser plants, like
many of the Compositae and Umbelliferae, it
is often necessary to cut away portions in
order to press the plant at all. But when
this has to be done. always endeavor to select
as typical specimen as possible.
With woody plants, like hawthorn or wild
crab, make section of the stem, and put on
all the pressure you can. With succulent
plants, use more paper, and change it oftener:
your care, the specimens get >mouldy in the
press, paint them over with spirits of wine.
Before now, when | have been away from
home for a few days, l have found on my re-
turn my plants wholly smothered with mould
but good dose of spirits of wine has soon
cleaned them.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-24


When away on a holiday it is of course inn
possible to cart about with you half dozen
hfty-pound weights in your portmanteau and
so you must use other contrivances.
You can, however, quite easily take one
press, and a good supply of paper and card
board and couple Of stout straps. You can
also make canvas bag, and fill it with stones
and use that as a weight.
Ii your supply of botanical paper falls short,
you must make newspaper do. When on a
botanical expedition, as on all other occasions,
common sense is necessary.
Let me now say one word about mounting
your specimens. The first thing we want is
mounting paper, and it should be of the
best.
A specimen once dried and mounted will
last you your lifetime; it is surely then pity
to mount it on bad paper. Pressing or cart
ridge paper comes in sizes of 26 inches by p
inches, and quire cuts up into good many
sheets.
Have it cut up in sheets 13 inches by 9
inches, and some 13 inches by 1871 inches.
The larger sheets doubled are used to inclose
the smaller, on which the individual plants
are moutned.
On the outside sheet / write the name of
the genus, on the inside the name of the spe-
cies, thus:
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-24

at once in portfolio, often carry both a
tin and portfolio.
Next, take trouble in the selection of your
plants. Choose your specimens with the
flowers nicely out and with the foliage in good
order. Be careful to take them up by the
root, otherwise your specimen will be mutt
lated and not perfect.
/ sometimes ask friends at distance to get
me such and such plant which happens to
grow in, their neighborhood. Instead of
plant they send me fragment of plant
four or five inches, of a plant. Such frag-
ments are useless. We want entire plants,
roots and ALL OF course, with large plants
this is often impossible; but no specimen is
complete which does not show the root and
root-leaves as well as the flower.
Having, then, got your plants, how are you
to press them?
/ will tell you how / manage. 1t is most
important that you use proper botanical pa
per; otherwise, no matter how careful you
are, you cannot expect your plants to keep
their color. The most convenient size is 16
inches by 10 inches, when folded, and l
should advise you to buy at least half dozen
quires.
As the drying paper is 16 inches by 10
inches | use a press of the same size. My
press consists simply of two elm boards, about
threequarters of an inch in thickness, with a
piece dovetailed crosswise at each end to pre-
vent the boards from warping, thus:
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-24

Some botanists stick their plants to the pa
per with gum, others use. strips Of sticking
paper. | have always found the latter
Some, again, wash their specimens with a
preservative solution before placing them in
the cabinet but the objection to this is that
the solution often spoils the color of the spec
cabinet is sufficient, and if at any time mould
should appear, paint the specimen with spirits
of wine.
In conclusion, let me impress upon you the
absolute necessity of accurately labelling your
specimens. AZ complete label should not only
give the name of the plant but also its local
ity, its date and the name of the finder.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-24

It is now easier to complete the work by
making each successive plucking nearer to
you instead of further off, though of course
the drawing with the right hand and the
pushing with the left must be in the same
direction as before.
1t will be necessary also. at intervals, to
knead it little between the hand in order to
equally distribute the contents throughout
the ball.
Continuing in this manner, you will finally
arrive at very hard ball Gig 81, with its
skin quite tight and its wrinkles all firmly
fixed in the little centre of the whirlpool

again except by reversing the process that

Next, with the thumb and forefnger of the

have now made till you separate the skin
from the contents, and draw the skin toward
you and toward the centre. shown in Fig.
