April 4, 1905.  To the ravine.  I left home at 8 a.m.
It was cloudy at times, nevertheless quite warm.  The warm
weather is making flowers come out everywhere; fifteen
new ones were added to my list to-day.

April 8, 1905.  Along the Patapsco.  There has been a change
in the weather.  To-day it is quite blustery, however, the
thermometer did not go below 36°F.  At H. I met a Mr. Bennett,
he has been getting together some walnut, piled up near the
station was a fine lot of this valuable timber.

April 11, 1905.  From Wilkins Av. to B. & P. R.R.  to Arbutus to
the Patapsco to Washington R'd., to B. & P. R.R. to B. & O. R.R.
and home.  It was very sultry, threatening and towards 4 o'clock
it began to lighten and thunder and to rain a little later.
Left home at 7 a.m. and expected to meet Mr. Allen, but
on account of the weather he did not come.  Observed Pear in
bloom.  What a disagreeable odor the blossoms have, and yet
they are closely related to the apple.
