found in flower.  Passing the swamp we stopped at the
spring examining the place very closely in hopes of finding
the plant noticed there so profusely in the spring.  All trace
of it is gone.  In the close search, Polygala incarnata were 
noticed and on our return Habenaria tridentata.  As we
passed the swamp one pretty specimen of H. ciliosa was seen, 
but although we looked about us very carefully no other
specimens of this showy plant were found.  We now crossed
the fields in the direction of the Magothy.  Here a very large
watermelon patch was found, and we had the pleasure of sampling
a ripe specimen.  At the Magothy, near a pretty landing,
Discopleura capillacea was growing nicely.  We now retraced
our steps, stopped again at the spring and at the swamp.
At the spring while searching intently for that spring plant, 
several plants of Aristolochia serpentaria were seen.
At the swamps we found the Cotton Heads, Eriophorum 
Virginicum var albus in flower - the plants at this time
being  quite brownish due to the reddish stigmas and anthers.
Close to the swamp is an old shanty occupied by a colored
woman, here we bought a couple of cantaloupes
