"Flowering dogwood
is common, ?butterworth?
not rare.
The chief soil is sand,
but often we see more
or less stratified deposits
of gravel, the stone son
cled, showing traces of
the ice age, but the general
aspect much like
Ohio
At Accotink there is
a gravel ridge that would
do credit to Seabrook.
Androgynous mayflowers
has been most common
grass, but macrocarpis
of virginiana are now
coming to the fore. I saw
these just before Bull
Run.
