Cow to Gather and Preserve
Plants
: The ladies are deeply interested In
pubject, which we are glad to see Is
. becomlnc more popular every year.
A good healthy ramble in fields or
woods, gathering dainty flowers and
beautiful leaves, is far more in spirit
. !ng and stimulating means of imploy
. xnent than crochet work or poetry
reading in-doors.
The Maine Farmer again pleases
the lady reader with a little practical
information as to how to do it cicely
and well. i
1. If possible, gather plants upon a
dry day, and protect them fro"m sun
light and wind.
2. Plants should be gathered when
' in flower.
3. A single specimen should be. a
perfect representative of the, plant
jiot only the flower, but bud, fruit, or
seed, all its various kinds of leaves,
and, in small plants, even the root.
With some plants these can all be
represented in the same specimen, but
Kith others it is necessary to collect
p?pinienj both in flower and In fruit.

pers will answer. Two kinds of
Irs are needed in drying them,
namely, folds and dryers. Folds are
simply pieces of paper folded once,
Kke- sheet of writing paper, into
which the plants to be dried and press
ed axe to be put Dryers are large
sheets of tltiek unsized paper old
newspapers will answer used to ab
sorb the moisture of the plants when
being pressed. In changing the
tlants to new dryers which should
e done every other day never re
move them from the folds until com
pletely dried.
6. When the plants are within these
dryers, press them between hard
wood boards, using for the purpose a
weight of from 50 to 75 lbs. !
3. When the plants are perfectly
"dried, remove them from the dryers,
and attach them to sheets of white
paper about 11 by 18 inches in size,
and write upon it each the scientific
nd common name, wnen in liower;
where found, soil Its flourishes in, etc
