N. B. — Wherever substitutes have been recommended for the typical or normal drugs, in 
the descriptive list, f. i , Gillenia stipulacea for Gillenia trifoliata, Aspidium marginale 
for Aspidium Filix Mas, the consent of the drug-dealer must first be asked for, or goods 
may be rejected. 
PLAIN DIRECTIONS TO THE COLLECTOR. 
Bulbs, tubers and roots should be lifted from the soil without tearing 
and lacerating their tissues and cortical integuments. They ought to be 
cleaned from the adhering soil without washing or soaking them. 
Leaves, flowers and entire plants should, soon after collecting, be dried 
on hurdles, in the shade, and packed for shipping in boxes or bales, be- 
fore they get so dry as to crumble. The packages, if not immediately for- 
warded to the manufacturing chemist or wholesale druggist, should be 
deposited in well-ventilated warehouses. 
Storage in proximity to promiscuous merchandise, especially raw hides, 
coal oil, or turpentine, must strictly be avoided. Moulding and infection 
with obnoxious odors spoil or deteriorate botanical goods. 
Enterprising country merchants will soon find it profitable to assist and 
encourage this industry.
