the Thoreau Log.
14 June 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Miss Pratt brings me the fertile barberry from northeast the great yellow birch . . .

  P.M.—To Gowing’s Swamp.

  I notice interrupted ferns, which were killed, fruit and all, by the frosts of the 28th and 29th of May, now coming up afresh from the root. The barren fronds seem to have stood it better . . .
