For Drying Flowering Plants, Ferns, & Seaweeds. 

 Preserves form and colour in the best possible manner, and seldom, if ever, 

 requires change of sheets whilst the plants are being dried ; it is stout and durable. 

 Used by the Arctic ships, and on the cruise of H.M.S. ' Challenger.'

 be got." — Nature.
