1_39 Redwood Peak. Dec. 1894. - Oakland Hills. With Walter Powell. Hardy, Mrs. M.M., worked in the herbarium for Professor Greene, about 1893.

She was one of a number of persons who collected at University expense in the years just preceding his departure East in order to make up as large an herbarium to take along as possible._ Mrs. Hardy's handwriting is seen on label of Lupinus Grayi Wats., her collection. Mrs. Hardy's daughter married Warren Gregory, grad. U.C. and lawyer. - July 19, 1894. Calistoga, upper Napa Valley, that is the valley above Calistoga, Toll-house and 1st Summit of Mt. St. Helena. - July 20, 1894. St. Helena. _ That is he carried away the duplicates. I am sure, however, that the original set was not complete. The state of Cal. set (Cal. Geol. Survey) was far from complete. |
