Plants named for me by "The Bronx
Botanical Gardens.
1° Common Hemp. (Cannabis Sativa)
growing in waste land at E.J. City
6° to 10° high & associated with
acres of Common Sun-flower,
(Helianthus annus) the latter now
in bloom and presenting a very
wonderful display - acres of solid
yellow bloom.
2° Michaelmas Daisy or Heath aster
(Aster ericoides) now coming into
flower on the plains, very common.
(Bracts with definite subulate tips)
3° Round headed Bush Clover
(Lespedeza Capitata) tall rigid
& slender, very conspicuous &
characteristic. Associated with
home without plants, still erect -
