We now continued and in a little while came to the railroad tracks.
We then proceeded towards Avalon: we stopped a few moments at the
dam then crossed the bridge.  After examining our transplanted Gentian
two of which had disseminated their seed we visited Gentian Place.
Here we found that many of our plants had disseminated their seed, still
there were a number with unripe capsules, a few of these were still very
green <s>at th</s> near the ground.  I shall watch these very carefully to <s>sect</s> see
if any off shoots are produced.  We ate our dinner at Gentian Place.
After dinner we climbed the hillside and proceeded towards H's.  On the
hillside we found a Hepatica in bloom, another was found with 
two peculiar leaves, one was two-divided, the outline
of each division [sketch of leaves] broadly elliptical, and the other
had hardly a trace of a lobe. Besides these two leaves
there were many of the three lobed variety.  The above leaves 
leaves were not torn or eaten by insects.  Quite a number of five-lobed
leaves were also found.  When we reached the hill-top we looked
for our Persimmon tree and after a while found it, filled as 
usually with plenty of luscious fruit.  We each took about two
quarts (perhaps 200 fruits) shaking <s>the</s> it carefully from tree.  After
we were through the tree still seemed as laden with fruit as before
