ROUND THE WORLD. 295 tnight give reafon to dread their effefts, by con- veying them to thofe parts of the fliip where they would be mofl fafe ; and laflly, by keeping down the mofl voracious plants which might injure the mofl delicate ones: two little doors made at the two ends of the wire grating, will facilitate the means of performing this operation as often as is found necelfary. It has all along been prefumed, that the gar- dener, commifTioned with the colleding vegetables, would find ripe feeds, or thofe nearly ripe ; but it may happen, that he may meet with neither one nor the other, and being in a fituation where he cannot take up the individuals in their kind, fee nimfelf in the fad neceflity of quitting a fpot with- out being able to fliew to Europe a fingle article of its productions: in a cafe like this, there is a refource remaining, which he may make ufe of, under even the moft unfavourable circumftances. Every body knows, that the feeds of vegetables fall as fill as they ripen, and that many are wafiied by the rain-waters into the low places, or are car- ried by the winds to the Ikirts of woods: in ga- thering with a bcfom, in thefe different places, a bulk of fome cubic feet of earth, taken from a confiderable furface, there will be a certainty of colleding a great many feeds of indigenous plants; and thefe earths, enclofed in troughs or boxes, alter having been properly dried, will preferve the U4 feed. h-A.
