May 17, 1903.  With Percy to Reistertown Pike.  My friend P. wrote me that he
had found Solanum Dulcamara on his trip along this road last Friday; so, to-day
I thought I would try to find it.  His description of the place served me
well and I had little trouble finding the plant.  I think the plant is
located in a safe place and no doubt will be spared us a number of 
years.  The flowers are of a beautiful shade of purple and are delightfully 
fragrant.  The potato bugs had already discovered the
plant and were making havoc with the pretty velvety leaves.
On the opposite side of the road grew many plants of Poterium Sanguisorba; 
and a few of Myosotis verna.  We returned home by way
of Druid Hill Park.

May 18, 1903.  Along Gwynn's Falls from the terminus of the Mt. Holly
car line to the quarry near Dickeyville then returned to Walbrook
by way of Windsor R'd bridge and Franklin R'd.  Nothing particularly
new or interesting was noted.  The greater potion[portion] of the time was
spent in collecting flowers.  The Fringe-tree is now in flower, and so
also the Polygala Senega.   In several places I found Aphyllon uniflora,
I thought I would examine it[s] roots to see in what way 
it was parasitic.  I noted that <s>its roots were</s> the stalks arose from a very thick and tubercled
swollen base from which proceeded also many fine rootlets.
