Nov. 30. 1900.  To Lutherville.  We met at Union station
at 7.30 A.M.  Reaching L. we proceeded to the Gentiana crinita 
places.  Here we still found several plants in flower.
Most of the plants, however had gone to seed and had already disseminated 
most of it.  Nevertheless, plenty of it was <s>found</s> still left.
In a short time we had collected all we wanted.  We now made
our way to Towson.  Reaching T. was stopped a short time
at the Court House; here we met a Mr Slingluff. He seemed
to be interested in botany and was desirous of knowing the
name of a certain fern, new to him, found close at hand.

We, therefore, went with him down into a little ravine, where
we found the fern -- Woodwardia Virginica. We now came back
to Towson where we took the car.  We reached home before 1 P.M.

Dec. 1. 1900.  A trip alone to Brooklyn and vicinity and then
hope [home] by way of Sweetin's Bridge.  Reached B. about 10 A.M.  Took
the road leading to Pumphrey's, but branched off towards the
river when at the first bridge.  In the boggy places were abundant
traces of Skunk-cabbage, one was found so far advanced that the
florel bud was entirely exposed, the leaves, too were fare [far] advanced
rather purplish and looked like a nice little head of cabbage.*
