          I have been solicited to teach the young idea
 how to shoot again in this place, but fear
 it will be worse than a bad bargain - When
 I tried it before it was worth to me only ten
 dollars per month store pay - And at the same
 time it occupied so much of my time that I 
 could do little at my plants, after the time
 necessary to perform professional & domestic duties
 was consumed, and it proved a serious disadvantage
 to me without corresponding profits.


 Will you be so kind as to advise me what
 will be the most ready way to get rid of my
 large parcels of plants to the best advantage?


 Will it be necessary to arrange them systematically
 or can they be tumbled in 
 any way? My grasses & Cyperaceous plants
 are all arranged & parcelled out except what
 has been collected this season and that can soon
 be accomplished - I have 25 specimens in my
 regular sets, and of many I have from 50-100
 extra sets _ Of Rhynchospora & Carices  (particularly
 the rare ones) I have great quantities to spare
 of the grasses too I have a pretty good supply
 over and above my regular sets - I must
 try hard to get rid of them They are becoming
 quite a burden - besides that I need their value in
 something else - I want to collect a few compositae
 Oaks etc. - And also a lot of Roots for Dr. Gray firstly. -
