is two leaves growing close together, the petiole for about ½ its length
being common to both leaves.  The leaves of this Maple (A. rubrum)
are opposite, in this plant there were therefore 3 leaves two on one side
grown close together and one opposite them.  In the axils of each
leaf was a bud so there were two buds on one side of the stem
and one on the opposite side.  I found too a patch of Rumex
Acetosella in which the ear-shaped appendages to the leaves were
two lobed.  Arrived at G. we stopped a few minutes at K's.
and then started for home, along the Annapolis Rd.  A short stop at H's
and then no more.  At Cedar Hill we thought we would try Church
St.  to Curtis Bay instead of going directly to Brooklyn.  We were
quite pleased with the change.  We reached C.B. at 7 o'clock,
and we were home before eight.

November 12, 1902.  To <s>Clifton</s> Carroll Park. Supt. Sinclair was not in the
park, but Mr. Locker, his head gardener was there: he, however, was
very busy, so we were not able to have much of a chat.  I learned
though that I was right in my surmise regarding the hedge, it is
the English Hawthorn.  I was told, too, that they had two yew thus
I shall look for them the next time I visit the park.
