many of which were unknown to us here ; each kind was tied 
up in a piece of coarfe brown paper, and the whole packed up 
in fomc Iheets of the fame. When I examined them by cutting 
fome of each open, I found that mofl of them were become 
dry and rancid, and very few of them vegetated. To prevent 
a difappointment of this kind for the future, I have directed my 
friend, when the feeds of the largefl kinds which he colledls 
are ripe and properly fweated and cleaned, to put them into 
tight tin canifters, or earthen veflels, fuch as pickling jars; 
each kind of feed may be kept feparate in a fmall bag of old white 
linen 
tollowing plants will fucceed, when treated in this 
manner.
