1891.
Aug. 3. 
Trip to Heatherbank.
London,--Weybridge.--England.
 Clear and dry in London. Three very heavy showers with 
sharp lightning and much hail at Weybridge.
  Took 10.15 A.M. train from Waterloo to Weybridge. Arriving
was met at station by Scott Wilson and his father. Scotch folk,
the boy reserved, rather shy I fancied.  The father full of
anecdote and shrewd humor.  We drove to their house and thence
to Mr. Wilson's "experimental garden". It proved most interest-
ing - a collection of beautiful plants from all over the world, -
everything growing very naturally. Saw our Epigea and checker-
berry both very flourishing. Lunched at cottage on rounds.
Martins and wasps nests side by side under eaves. No birds sing-
ing except Yellow Hammers and Green Finches. Saw a few Robins.
Heavy showers with hail. Two small frogs, Rana sylvatica, I
thought in the garden. Drove home in the rain. Country wooded
heavily with bits of heath and heather in bloom. Sandwich Is-
land birds. Back to London by 9.50.
