222 June 1749. 



The Phlox Glaberrima grows abundantly 

 in the woods, and cuts a fine figure with 

 its red flowers. It grows in fuch foil here 

 as in Europe is occupied by the Lychnis vif- 

 caria and Lychnis dioica, or red Catchfly and 

 Campion. The Phlox metadata grows 

 abundantly in wet ground, and has fine 

 red and odoriferous flowers. It grows on 

 low meadows, where in Europe the Mea- 

 dow-pinks, or Lychnis jlos cuculi, would be 

 met with. By adding to thefe flowers the 

 Bartfta cocci nea y the Lobelia cardinality and 

 the Monarda didyma, which grow wild in 

 this country, they are undoubtedly alto- 

 gether adorned with the finer! red ima- 

 ginable. 



The Saffafras-tree was abundant in the 

 woods, and near the inclofures. 



The houfes which we pafTed by were 

 moil of them wooden. In one place, I 

 faw the people building a houfe with walls 

 of mere clay, which is likewife employed in 

 making ovens for baking. 



Buckwheat was already coming up in 

 feveral places. We faw fingle plants of it 

 all day in the woods, and in the fields, but 

 always by the fide of the road ; from 

 whence it may be concluded, that they 

 fprinc up from loft and fcattered feeds.
