1913]  Blake,— Six Weeks’ Botanizing in Vermont,— I 161 
collected from a small clump about three-quarters of a mile north of 
the Essex Junction station, 2249 from another larger colony about 
three-quarters of a mile further north, which also extended up the side 
of a nearby hill to 440 ft. altitude, above which height the hill was 
wooded; sandy wood road, alt. 500, 3 August, on the “High Plains”; 
pure sand, alt. 410, 3 August. In Essex Junction: pure sand, alt. 
360, 26 July (thirty plants or more, a little north of the station, grow- 
ing with C. filiculmis var. macilentus); gravel between railroad ties, 3 
August; sand plain, alt. 360, 14 August. In Colchester: sand plain, 
back of Fort Ethan Allen, alt. 350, 23 July; in sand, alt. 340, 9 August 
(this was Mrs. Flynn's original station). 
The fruiting season, given as “Aug., Sept.” in Mrs. Flynn's list, 
should be extended to include July as well, as many of my plants 
collected on 23 July are in good fruit.
