Oct. 11. 99  An afternoon trip to Relay and
the Gentian Hills.  Mr. W. called at the school
at 2:30 P.M.  We took the car hoping to make
the 2:50 P.M. train from Camden station.
We, however, missed the train so were obliged
to wait till 4:15 P.M. for the next one.
We arrived at the hills at about 4:45 P.M.
We found about 6 plants of Gentiana crinita,
three of which we took up carefully to transplant.
What a marked change in the appearance of the
woods since last Saturday!  What an enchanting
view presented itself, as we crossed the viaduct
and looked towards the "Hills"!  The variety of tints
red predominating!  By the time we reached the
little glade where we intended planting our plants
it was dusk, and it was with some difficulty 
that we noticed our little plant (transplanted Sept. 23).
We were delighted to find it in full bloom.  Quickly
climbing the hill, we selected a suitable place and
planted our plants, about 4 ft. apart, forming an equilateral triangle.
