feet long of 2 x 3 joist, with four strands of chicken 

 wire, 12 inches wide, to which the specimens were 

 attached by ordinary florist's wire.f 



A background of white cotton sheeting gave the

 by overhead guy wires, thus saving any necessity for 

 marring the flooring, as no nails were used. A list of 

 the shrubs follows:
