flowers (staminate) of a maple (Acer dasycarpum) near the 
road and also opposite the old mill. This tree looked 
indeed beautiful, the flowers of rich bronze. Prickly Ash 
was as yet not in bloom.  Our tramp in this direction was
mainly for this very purpose. Coming back, a number of new plants 
were found, however not in flower, close to a little brooklet
opposite the mill and a little beyond the little bridge.

Returning, we took the path along the race. On the hillside 
Anemonella was found and between the path and the falls
Viola palmata and a large patch of Senecio very far advanced. 
Mr. W. says Papaw grows here also but we failed to recognize 
it.  Reaching W.M. R'd [Road] we again crossed the falls and went 
towards Franklin R'd [Road]. In the grounds on our right Forsythia 
suspensa was found in flower. Reaching F.R. [Franklin Road] we went out 
a short distance entering an estate on our right to examine 
Dirca palustris, this was not as yet in flower. We now started 
for home, first stopping to quench our thirst at the fine spring 
on the side of the high hill nearest the falls. This day was 
very warm. The roads were very dusty. Going home we 
noticed a number of glow worms.
