Wednesday, Deer Palm Beach, Jan 16, 1935 At 11:20 A.M. met Prof. Chittenden in the second section of the Florida Special and from there we traveled to this place. Left here at 4:30 P.M. and put up at the Henry Regal Hotel. Room #302 Sunday. Too late to see much of the town. Narrow one streets. Town old, a new park, On my left, from left to right. The Floridian landscape due to the flatness of the land, and its mountains (ignorable pine is rather monotonous). As we come south flowers appear and at Dr. Palm Beach we see the usual Florida introduced plants. Orange groves thick to the north. Our hotel is in the midst of a Coconut forest and all the trees are heavy with nuts. The smaller hotels are even on the ocean front.
