the Thoreau Log.
3 September 1853. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  I saw this afternoon, on the chimney of the old Hunt house, in mortar filling an oblong square cavity apparently made when the chimney was, the date 1703 . . .

  The soapwort gentian out abundantly in Flint’s Bridge Lane . . .

  Saw at the floral show this afternoon some splendid specimens of the sunflower, king of asters, with the disk filled with ligulate flowers.

(Journal, 5:416-417)
