BENTALLS' IMPROVED PAPER FOR DRYING PLANTS. 



\\T and T. BENTALL, in soliciting the attention of 



» » • Botanists to the above Paper, hep to submit to their 

 notice the following, as one of the numerous Testimonials with, 

 which they have been favoured :— 



•' Gbntlkmkn,— Though my trial of your new Botanical 

 Paper has been short, I think it may safely be pronounced the 

 best combination of the qualities required in such paper that I 

 have hitherto met with, after trying several kinds, both British 

 made and Foreign. 



" It seems probable that your Paper will prove more service- 

 able to the Botanical traveller than the thick grey Paper often 

 sent with specimens from Germany, and much esteemed by 

 English Botanists; but having the serious defect of extreme 

 liability to tear, which does not appear in your Paper. It cer- 

 tainly ought to supersede the demy Grey recommended imthe 

 Instructions issued by the Botanical Society of Edinburgh.'*— 

 H. C. Watson, Esq., F.L.S., Vice-President of the Bvtantctl 

 Society of London. 



Professor Likplky, University College, London, &C. C. B. 

 Babington, Esq., F.L.S., St. John's College, Cambridge, have 

 also kindly allowed the use of their names as strongly recom- 

 mending it. 



May be had of the Manufacturers, Halstead, Essex ; and of 

 their agents, Mr. E. Newman, 9, Devonshire-street, Bisnopj-
