The seedes are best preserv’d in papers : their names written 
on them and put in a box. The Nutts in Barills of dry sand : 
each kind wrap d in papers written on. 
The trees in Barills their rootes wraped about mosse : The 
smaller the plants and trees are, the better ; or they will do well 
packed up in matts ; but the Barill is best, & a small vessell 
will containe enough of all kinds labells of paper tyed to euery 
sort with y e name : 
I suppose most of those sen’d to be plants of Virginia May 
grow also in N— England :
