3 Cambridge, Mass. to Shelburne, N.H. 1911 June 30 We, M. & I, took the 9 A.M. train at the North Station reaching Gorham N.H. at 5:20 P.m. just on time. The ride was a pleasant one. The Woad Waxen, Genista tinctoria, was in its glory, south of Salem, and the hills were one mass of golden yellow. As we left Salem I saw in the barren [Convolvulus arvensis] soil along the railroad track, a short way out of the station Convolvulus arvensis running along on the ground for a number of rods. It was in full (white) flower. Beyond Portland, many large fields were entirely given up to the Orange Hawkweed Hieracium aurantiacum, a beautiful display but a curse to cultivation.
Mr. & Mrs. McMillan were awaiting us in the automobile at Gorham and we had a short spin to the house where Ellen, Andrew & John were ready to welcome us.
The same beautiful view surrounds the house and in the evening Jupiter, Venus and the crescent Moon hung over the mountains in the western sky. We retired early.

4 Shelburne, N.H. 1911 July 1 Clear, calm, warm.
We spent the day rather quietly as it has been quite warm. I sat in the piazza a part of the time talking and enjoying the view. The usual birds are singing as before and I shall list them. It is pleasant to hear from the house Veeries and Savanna Sparrows.
I found out last year from Mrs. Agnes Chase of Washington that the reddish Festuca [{Festuca} ovina var. duriuscula] that grows abundantly in the field by the house, is {Festuca} ovina L., var. duriuscula (L.) Koch. accredited in the Manual to "Wis. and Ia." So this P.M. I collected a number of specimens, as the plants are in good shape now and pressed them.
This P.M. Mr. & Mrs. McMillan & I auto'd to Gorham for the rail, and other errands.
Some changes in the house since last year make more room. The hall clock, Elk head & horns, various pictures, and a very large number of books are now in Cambridge, and the pianola piano is established in the dining room.
My blotters with the big press has been left here from Philbrook Farm and it is most convenient for the work I do here.
