| Remarks | [“Aug. 27. P. m. – To Clintonia Swamp and Cardinal Ditch. The cardinals in this ditch make a splendid show now, though they would have been much fesher and finer a week ago. They nearly fill the ditch for thirty-five rods perfectly straight, about three feet high. I count at random ten in one square foot, and as they are tow feet wide by thiry-five rods, there are four or five thousand at least, and maybe more. They look like slender plumes of soldiers advancing in a dense troop, and a few white (or rather pale pink) ones are mingles with the scarlet. That is the most splendid show of cardinal flowers I ever saw. They are mostly gone to seed, i.e. the greater part of the spike.” Journal 9: 28-29. 1856]
