The seedes are best preserv'd in papers : their names written 

 on them and put in a box. The Nutts in Barills of dry sand : 

 each kind wrap d in papers written on. 



The trees in Barills their rootes wraped about mosse : The 

 smaller the plants and trees are, the better ; or they will do well 

 packed up in matts ; but the Barill is best, & a small vessell 

 will containe enough of all kinds labells of paper tyed to euery 

 sort with y e name : 



I suppose most of those sen'd to be plants of Virginia May 

 grow also in N — England :
