very showy composite and Nasturtium Armoracia, a showy crucifer.  On my way along
the falls I found Osmorrhiza[Osmorhiza] brevistylis quite abundantly and later in the woods
beyond the stock yards I found Osmorhiza Longistylis.  The former is quite wooly
whereas the latter is only slightly so.  As I was going out Washington R'd
I saw rhubarb in flower and at another place more of Nasturtium Armoracia.
I took a piece of it to show some farmer, and to ask its name.  Out the
road a short distance I passed a man white washing.  I asked him the
name of the plant.  At first he didn't know, but finally he called it the
white radish.  While we were talking his wife came to us, when she saw
the plant she called it the Horseradish and she was right, but as her
husband insisted it was the white radish, she said it was it, too.

I stopped at the Climbing Fern swamp a few minutes.  The fern is
coming up nicely, the new fronds are about 10 inches high.  I was pleased 
to find Drosera rotundifolia growing with it quite plentifully.  I now
hastened onward to H. and to the B. & O. R.R.  Beyond the viaduct is
a nice spring near a large Tulip-tree.  I thought I would find Wisteria
growing near this viaduct but did not.  Not far from it I made my
third find of the day "Vicia Crocea".  This plant is really beautiful
the flowers are of a deep purple.
