A STUDY OF LEAVES. 



HOW TO PRINT LEAVES. 



Procure some printer's ink in black, green, or 

 red from a printing-office or stationer. Make a pad 

 by tying a ball of raw cotton in a piece of satin or 

 other smooth material, and draw some of the cotton 

 into a handle, sewing the covering tightly around it. 



Spread a thin layer of ink upon glass, and ink 

 the pad evenly by pressing it down several times. 

 Place the fresh leaf face downward upon news- 

 paper, and ink the wrong side by pressing the pad 

 lightly upon it. Next lift the leaf by the stem and 

 place it, inked side downward, upon unruled blank 

 paper. Lay a piece of paper over it and rub gently 

 with the fingers. Lift the paper, and then the leaf. 

 Allow the print to dry before being handled. 



A pretty wreath may be made by a combination
