April 21, 1902  An afternoon trip to Brooklyn for botanical
specimens.  The weather was rather warm and sultry.  The wind
was from the south-east.  As I crossed the Long Bridge, I 
noticed a long line of willows (cuttings) planted in the shallow
water.  The line extended from about the middle of the
bridge over to the Anne Arundel shore.  Peach trees are now
found in full bloom.  While collecting a bouquet of Antennaria
plantaginifolia I noticed the sweet honey-like odor of the
blossoms.  Ferns of all kinds are now uncoiling their fronds.
To-day I observed the first toad of this season. Amelanchier
Canadensis is now in full bloom.  To-day was really Amelanchier
Day.  A number of the pretty trees were seen along the path
near the river.  How pretty the river winding in the broad
flood plain looked to-day as the sun was setting?
It was about quarter past seven when I returned home.
