October 5. 1901.  To Lutherville.  Met Mr. W. at Union station,
<s>from</s> Here we took the 7.34 A.M. train for L., which we reached
about 8 A.M.  <s>Here</s>As we left the train we noticed that the ground was covered with
hoar frost.  The sun was shining beautifully but the air was
cold and bracing.  We started at once for the fields to the west
of the railroad.  Our trip to-day was to <s>find</s> see if G. crinita were in
flower.  We searched carefully, but but[not] one plant was found.
Aster Novea Angliae and [illegible] <s>muti</s> [illrgible] <s>was</s> were abundant.

When we reached the 11 mile post we left the field, crossed
the railroad tracks and entered the field on the east.  Here
we found a nice lot of the crinita.  We each took but one
flower, thinking <s>it</s> the spot was safely hidden from all prying eyes.
We now walked down towards the spring and were pleased
to find the plant scattered throughout the field quite plentifully
