[[left page is blank]] [[end page]] [[start page]] At Houston I got horse & buggy & drove out 5 or 6 miles onto big prairie to NW & took some photos of the prairie & surrounding strips & groves of pine & oak woods, with just prairie grass & cornflowers & rudbeckies in foreground. Also ome good views of oaks & pines hung with Spanish moss. Had a little visit with H. P. Atwater I was surprised to find a family of old & young scissortail flycatchers at home along the fences on the prairie and for the first time on this trip the Chondestes were common. A single scrubby tree of Prosopis Juliflora was seen in the edge of town & several P. pubescens, small trees that I suspect had been planted, but as they were doing well & bearing beans they suggest a dryness of climate not found farther east.
Transcription Notes:
"rudbeckies" = Rudbeckia = coneflowers.
I changed "single scrub by tree" to "single scrubby tree"
