September 14, 1903.  An afternoon trip alone from Catonsville terminus to
the rear of London Park by way of the Catonsville S. L. R.R.
The day was quite pleasant, for although it was warm, a
nice breeze was stirring.   This is the first time that I have
gone over this route.  Along the sides of the road we find a great
many beautifully kept villas and farms; wild flowers, therefore,
are scarce.  Two plants, however, were found that were of
interest, Rudbeckia fulgida and Lespedeza striata.  The latter
is quite abundant; it is low, and spreads quite freely.  The leaves
of this plant are prettily striated.  R. fulgida was found in one
place only.

September 19, 1903.  A trip with Mr. W. from the Catonsville terminus
to Avalon, then along the River R'd to Orange Grove and by way
of Hilton Av. back to the terminus.  I met Mr. W. in the car and we
reached the terminus about 8 o'clock.  The morning was beautiful
bright and delightfully cool; it was an ideal autumn morning.
We were surprised to find Stoddard's closed, the folks had not
yet risen.  An old German woman had been waiting since 7 to get
in; a baker, too, was there waiting, anxious to deliver his goods.
