June 19, 1901.  To Canton ballast lots for specimens. Eryngium campestre has
increased in number of plants and also the Scotch Thistle- Onopordum Acanthium, and the Musk Thistle
Carduus nutans.  Both of these thistles are handsome and now form several large
patches.  Carduus nutans is well named - the heads "nod" gracefully. It has a delicate
sweet odor.  Coronilla varia, too, has increased. Near an immense patch
on the east bank of the run I found several large plants with palmately compound
leaves, which I think must be Hemp. Ononis repens, too, is growing nicely.
All the plants were doing well, in fact, no doubt due to favorable weather,
plenty of rain, this spring.  One new plant, which I think a species of Reseda
was found - probably Reseda luteola.

at 3:30 P.M.  We walked down Hilton Av. and took the path leading
past the lilies - Lilium Pennsylvanicum, and the Pyrola secunda.  Of the
lilies, there were very few in bloom, the remains of a withered flower lying
on the ground fully explained the cause.  The pyrola, however was plentiful.
I examined a few of the Aristolochia close at hand, but none
of them were blooming, <s>although</s> the bud, though, was quite large.

A patch of Monotropa uniflora was found; this find pleased them very much.
When we reached the brook, we walked through the ravine <s>and</s>. In a short
