April 13 (Monday)
Left at 2:30 P.M. for South with Mr. Buhle, stopping over
night at Dover, Del. Nothing of interest in bloom except
Viola Rofinaequei in Delaware and large masses of
Erodium bicarinatum in the peach orchards.
April 14 (Tuesday)
While waiting for ferry at Cape Charles, I examined
a brook a few miles to eastward, finding only two Phlox
in bloom, Viola jerinabifolia lanceolata and V.
craccollata (?). Got ferry at 2:30 P.M. for Cape Henry, and
reached Edenton, N.C. in evening. Nothing of special
interest on way, except flowering introduced cultivated
shrubs, and immature plants of Eriogonum tomentosus.
April 15 (Wednesday). Wilmington
To New Bern, and Edenton, Victoria in full bloom.
Saw Moth's cordon program along roadside just
outside New Bern Edenton, also Iris versalis. Reached
Newbern and took wrap road (to Beaufort instead
of Wilmington). Splendid pine barrens (but little in-
helited) along this road with a good deal of Iris
versalis. Cut southwest before reaching Beaufort, and
skirted Pamlico Sound and its bays. Collected
I. versalis, Sarracenia flava, Viola septifolia, Rhodo-
dendron atlanticum, Liriopechium, Cephalia. Also
noted abundant Descurainia Pavica. Reached Wilmington
about noon in late afternoon, having seen
Dionaea along railway in sandy country a few
miles to the northward.
April 16 (Thursday)
Reached Charleston before noon, without stopping
to collect. Myrtle Beach looks interesting. Visited
Biddleton gardens, southwest of Charleston, or
