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 e vif- 

 caria and Lychnis dioica y or red Catchfly and 

 Campion. The Phlox maculata 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 flos cuculi, would be 

 met with. By adding to thefe flowers the 

 Barffia coccinea, the Lobelia cardinalis, and 

 the Monarda didyma, which grow wild in 

 this country, they are undoubtedly alto- 

 gether adorned with the fineft red ima- 

 ginable. 



THE Sajjafras-tree was abundant in the 

 woods, and near the incloftires. 



THE houfes which we palled by were 

 moft 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 ail ready coining 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 

 fpring up from loft and fcattered feeds.
