All that has been said relative to the Fruit Room, is applicable to this: everything promotive of decay or germination is to be avoided; and if one relative direction more than another requires to be urged upon the gardener, it is comprised in these words - keep it as dry as possible: the room may be even hot, so that it is not damp. Mr. Forsyth says, that "a dry room, hot room, or something very nearly resembling a slow corn-kiln, is essentially necessary in every garden, not only for seeds, but also for all other articles requiring drought, or liable to injury from damp, such as the nets and bunting for wall-trees and the like; garden-mats; glazed lights in wet weather, or when washed previous to painting; and last, though not the least necessary, the proper drying of pot-herbs, a process seldom, if ever properly done." - Gard. Chron.

In such a room should be a nest of very shallow drawers or trays, divided into compartments, each holding a tin box three inches in diameter, and on the lid of each a label, inscribed with the name of the seed. Such an arrangement not only saves the seed, but saves the gardener's time, especially if the seeds are arranged alphabetically in the drawers.
