the Thoreau Log.
18 July 1857. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  [George] Minott says that old Sam Nutting used to pinch off the first leaves of his melon wines as soon as they had three or four leaves, because they only attracted the bugs, and he was quite successful.

  George Bradford says he finds in Salem striped maple and Sambucus pubens. He (and Tuckerman?) found the Utricularia resupinata once in Plymouth, and it seems to correspond with mine at Well Meadow . . .

(Journal, 9:483-484)
