It was 3 o'clock when we started homeward.  We reached Earleigh Heights about

6 o'clock.  Near the station we found a nice lot of Spiranthes cernua.  It
was about 6.30 when the train arrived and it was a little after 7 when we reached the city.  The day was beautiful and we all enjoyed our trip.

September 28, 1903.  Along Gwynn's Falls from Edmondson Av. to Walbrook.
The morning was beautiful, a strong breeze was blowing from the northwest
making the temperature delightful.  I left home about 8 A.M. & reached the falls about 9 o'clock.  In the meadow near the old ice
house I found Perilla ocymoides var. crispa in abundance.  This plant as well as its

& Honeysuckle, and plants of Dandelion, Early Saxifraga, etc, for leaves to show<s>ing</s> leaf
arrangement.
