[[/underline]] About 10 - 15 of these were brown but about 75 were bright green strong handsome virile pitchers! The leaf at the back acts like a flying buttress to brace the pitcher when heavy with water. [[underline]] Aug. 31. [[/underline]] We found most of the flower stalks fallen - gone - & the pitchers hidden down in the high fern & grass. In one place they were so abundant we could hardly step without hearing the horrid crunch & perhaps feeling a spurt of water from a ^ [[insertion]] downtrodden [[/insertion]] pitcher. The color of some of them was a keen pleasure. They were red - some small ones entirely red - others thickly veined and netted with dark red. The fall colors are in the swamp - cranberry bog - sphagnum field - [[strikethrough]] are [[/strikethrough]]. In places we waded through royal fern & looking across it was a lovely [[insertion]] warm [[/insertion]] golden brown - blue hills in background as Miss Bleir pointed out.
