The witch-hazel has opened since the 8th; say 11th. (It was abundantly out yesterday on Wachusett Mountain, where it is probably more exposed to the sun and drier. Sophia was there.)
Its leaves, a third or a half of them, are yellow and brown.
Solidago speciosa at Clamshell out several days.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, September 15, 1854
The witch-hazel has opened since the 8th; say 11th.. . .. See September 8, 1854 ("The witch-hazel on Dwarf Sumach Hill looks as if it would begin to blossom in a day or two."); September 8, 1856 ("Witch-hazel out, maybe a day or two, in some places,"); September 18, 1856 (The witch-hazel at Conantum just begun here and there; some may have been out two or three days.Yet I saw the witch-hazel out in Brattleboro September 8th, then apparently for a day or two .")
