we could not notice the latter specific qualities.  Will, however,
make the tramp agaion and notice carefully.  Before reaching F.
noticing the pretty and dense woods on our right we decided
to go into them, and a most delightful walk we found it.
We had not gone very far before a path was found
which we followed, it at last took us to the branch following
Franklin Road.  The walk here was certainly grand.  All about
us was the beautiful Fringe Tree, laden with blossoms, perfuming the
air with their fragrance.  So many of these pretty trees were seen
we decided to call the day Chionanthus Day. We followed
the right bank of the stream till it crossed the road. Here we were
obliged to leave it and take the road.  Before doing this
we stopped a moment to look at the Walking Fern.  We
now kept to the road and made our way towards Windsor Villa
Heights.  The pretty shrub Nine Bark was found in flower,
great quantities of Cornus alternifolia also Cornus sericea
was found in bud and Fraxinia Americana beginning to fruit.
Reaching the car terminus we were obliged to wait; but
pretty soon the car came. One of the passengers called
our attention to the poisonous plant we had collected, calling
the Chionanthus, Poison Oak.
