in its delapidated conditions Mr. T. owned a great many acres, but although
he no doubt had the means, would never do anything to the old house.  Just
before he died, he intended to put a new roof on the house, but died before he
could do so.  It seems that Mrs. T. intends to move into the old place again
notwithstanding its condition.  We did not have to wait long at the station.
While we were waiting it began to rain, and continued to do so all night.
[3] To-day I found Juniperus Virginiana in bloom, also Sisymbrium Thalianum
We searched carefully for a spray of Arbutus, but not a flower was found.

March 27, 1903.  The first trip with my botany class.  We met at Walbrook
and took a trip to the falls and then along the mill-race.  The afternoon was
delightfully pleasant and more than 30 members attended.  I explained to them
the leaf-like stipules of Galium, the peculiar spores Equisetum and a number
of other things.  We observed that they were cutting down the old road along-side
the mill-race, using the dirt to fill in the race.  It appears that a
broad road is to be made.  Not a Hazel or an Alder was found in bloom.
When at a point near the present terminus of the Mt. Holly car, we
brought our trip to a close and climbed the hillside to the car.  As there
were so many members, I decided to form two classes, a Thursday class
and a Friday class.
