August 28 - wheel to Valley Stream
with Betsy in morning - beautiful
day. Golden yellow aster -
(Chrysopsis Mariana)
Tall white lettuce (Prenanthes )
Jewel-weed (Impatiens biflora)
profuse bloom along the stream.
In the meadows Joe-Pye-weed
(Eupatorium purpureum) in billions-
masses of color.
Halbard-leaved Tea-shrub :
(Polygonum arifolium) well named.
Meadow beauty or Deer-grass
(Rhexia Virginica) not common.
or a few plants Lobelia Cardinalis
Iron-weed (Vernonia Novae-angliae)
A plant I feel quite sure is Hemlock
water parsnip (Sium Cicutifolium)

narrow lance shaped.
