In some cases, it will be well, in order to exhibit the natural appear- 

 ance and colour of the flower and other parts, to send drawings of the 

 plants, made from nature. Specimens and descriptions of medicinal 

 plants, are particularly desired, with an account of their virtues and 

 popular use. Also information respecting the various kinds of timber 

 trees, the quantity, quality and uses of each species ; notices of weeds 

 and other injurious plants, with the best modes of eradicating them ; 

 and, in a word, any interesting facts relating to the economical or sci- 

 entific botany of the State, will be thankfully received. 



JOHN TORREY.
