. A voyage round the world in the years 1785, 1786, 1787 and 1788 [microform]. Boussole (Frigate); Astrolabe (Frigate); Boussole (Frégate); Astrolabe (Frégate); Voyages around the world; Scientific expeditions; Voyages autour du monde; Expéditions scientifiques. 298 LA PEROUSE's voyage their quantity will afford the means of multiplying them in every province in France, Thofe in countries more warm ought to be gathered in Imaller quantit)^ becaufe thefe feeds ftanding in need of hot-beds and frames, and of being con- fined, in order to raife them, only a very few can bepreferved, unlefs it were defired to fend them to our colonies of the Antilles or of India j in that cafe, it is neceflary, that the cultivation of thefc objedls fliould be made fufceptiblc of other ad- vantages. Another obfervation not lefs important is, to colledl a greater quantity of each fpecies of feeds in the lafl years of the voyage than in the jfirft i becaufe it is poffible, that in fpite of all the pains, a part of the feeds gathered or fown in the commencement of the voyage will become im- poveriflied before the return to Europe, and that there will be a great deal of every kind not in a condition to grow, while the harveftings of the lafl. years of the voyage will be infinitely better. If the touching at fome of the European fet- tlements flionld be forefeen, it would be advife- able that the gardener made his difpofitions before hand, to depofit there a bale of little packets ot every fpecies of feeds which he may have chofcn, and that he join thereto a duplicate of his herbal, of which the numbers will corrcfpond with thole he affixes to the little bags of feeds he brings back to Europe. The articles thus fent may be con- tained.
