materially in drying the roots. Each of the ten drawers 

 (Jig. 84.) is 2 feet 7 inches long, 1 foot 8 inches wide, and 

 2£ inches deep ; the length is divided into 10 cells, the width 

 into 7 ; each cell being 2| inches by 2& and 2 deep. Now as 

 there are 10 rows in each drawer, and 10 drawers, the case 

 will of course contain 100 rows, each row having 7 roots, and 

 as my tulip bed always contains 7 roots across, the drawers 

 will correspond with the bed. The reason of having 7 rows 

 is, that the centre root may be the tallest, and the bed sloped 

 off to each side. In arranging a tulip bed I begin with a 

 bybloemen, then a bizard, and next a rose (marked \nfig. 84.), 

 beginning with the first row of the top drawer ; thus.
