19 October 1852. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

I see the dandelion blossoms in the path. The buds of the skunk-cabbage already show themselves in the meadow, the pointed involucres (?).

At 5 P.M. I found the fringed gentian now somewhat stale and touched by frost, being in the meadow toward Peter’s . . .
