Case for Genus Covers. 



After having thus attached the plants to white paper, all the Species of 

 the same Genoa should be placed together in the fold of a strong sheet of 

 brown papei and the name of the Genus written or printed on the corner, 

 and these should be arranged in the order of the Flora, and laid in a case 

 constructed for the purpose with pigeon holes eighteen inches deep and 

 thirteen inches wide. A very cheap case can be made for a small collec- 

 tion, by taking packing-boxes, used for packing sale boots, and placing 

 Shelves in them. These boxes are made about a foot wide, and maybe 

 had for a few cents at almost any country or village store.
