Notes

This diary documents Eugene Pintard Bicknell's botanical observations in the Bronx during 1896-1897 and 1900-1901. The book is comprised of entries spanning Sept. 7, 1896-Dec. 25, 1897, and a few (only 3 pages) from Aug. 25, 1900-Sept. 29, 1901. Entries are organized by date, with plant name, date, location, and observations on flowering time and other descriptive details about the plant and its surroundings. Bicknell lived in the Riverdale area, and most locations are in the northwestern Bronx in today's neighborhoods of Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Norwood, Bedford Park, and near Woodlawn Cemetery, the New York Botanical Garden, and Van Cortlandt Park.
