 factory improvement in pressing and mounting the plants. Those 

 who have exhibited before have, in most cases, made marked 

 progress. Many who exhibit for the first time, hardly know

 fine collections always to be found there. Nice work does not 

 consist in covering the under-surface of leaves with glue, or in 

 bandaging down a plant as the Lilliputians bound down Gulliver.
