old Georgetown Road to the hill, here Clitoria Mariana
grows and was found in flower.  After eating a light lunch

district and got a specimen of Lilium superbum; the specimen
Mr. W. had, having been unfortunately destroyed.  We now
went to the Annapolis Road where Mr. W. took the car
for home while I continued on foot, reaching home about
8:30 p.m.  For two weeks (even sooner) we have noticed
many plants already putting on their Fall garments.
The one we have noticed most particularly being the sassafras,
although we frequently see plants of the Virginia Creeper
quite crimson, and occasionally the Sumachs (Genus Rhus).
