BOTANICAL DRYING PAPER. 
In soliciting the attention of Ladies and Botanists to this Paper, 
Edward Newman begs to state that it is manufactured expressly for 
the purpose of drying Ferns, Flowering Plants, and Sea-weeds. 
It possesses all the qualities required in such Paper, preserving form 
and colour in the best possible manner, and having the peculiar ad¬ 
vantage of seldom requiring a change of sheets whilst the plants are 
being dried, by which much time and trouble are saved. Its stout¬ 
ness and durability also combine to render it economical, making it 
practically quite as cheap as ordinary Papers sold at a lower price. 
“ It is the best Paper for the purpose I have ever employed.”— Sir 
W. J. Hooker. 
“ I have found it to be by far the best Paper for drying specimens 
of Plants that I have ever used.”— C. C. Babington, Esq. 
“ I think it may safely be pronounced the best combination of the 
qualities required in such Paper that I have hitherto met with.”— 
Hewett C. Watson, Esq. 
“ I have found it most valuable in drying Algae, the most decisive 
test, in my opinion, to which such Paper can be subjected.”— Rev. W. 
S. Hore. 
“ I consider your new Botanical Drying Paper as quite deserving of 
the reputation it has already acquired, combining, as it does, the requi¬ 
site qualities of strength, absorbent power, and moderate cost.” — The 
late Dr. Bromfield. 
“ All botanical students should provide themselves with a supply of 
this material.”— Leading Article in Gardeners' Chronicle.
