Collecting $ Preserving Plants 



By STANLEY GUITON. 



Chapters on Collecting and Equipment, Drying, Preserving, 

 and Arranging, Mounting, &c. Fully Illustrated. 



"This admirable little book gives something more than mere hints, 

 being really a full instruction book, giving in every necessary detail the 

 means and methods to be adopted in collecting botanical specimens. . . . 

 With such a wealth of information and advice to be had for one shilling, 

 there is no excuse for the miserable examples of pressed plants that one 

 is sometimes required to peruse." — -Nature Study. 



..." Useful to schools, or classes, field naturalists' clubs, or to any- 

 one interested in the collection of specimens of our native flora, or who 

 wished to prepare and bring or send home specimens from abroad." — 

 The Field. 



" A neat little shilling volume. The young botanist who follows out 

 all the author's suggestions . . . will turn out good specimens ; and we 

 could name veterans who would greatly benefit by a course of lessons 

 based on Mr. Guiton's instructions. . . Distinctly useful, and the worker 

 will very soon modify its elaborate recommendations in accordance with 

 practical experience." — Journal of Botany. 



" The collector of plants . . . will find this small book useful. So 

 long as a collector takes as much care as Mr. Guiton, his herbarium will 

 be a pleasure not only to himself, but also to kindred botanists." — 

 Nature, Feb. 2nd, 1905. 



" This is a most useful and painstaking little work. ... To the 

 botanist who is not a mechanical genius this brochure will come as a 

 boon and a blessing. . . . The botanist who, after reading and digesting 

 its lucid pages, and noting its appropriate illustrations, cannot fix him- 

 self up with an herbarium in first-c]ass style, is — as a mechanic — quite 

 past praying for." — Agricultural Economist. 



" This handy little volume may be safely recommended to young 

 botanists. The book contains many useful hints, and will be found 

 both helpful and suggestive." — Naturalist. 



" Will be found very useful by the many amateurs who indulge in 

 the joys of botanizing. It is concise and well illustrated." — Gardener.
