Ludlow, Mohave Des. ---------- alt. 1775 ft.
- The country about Ludlow looked very desolate as I started out, altho the abundance of Argemone mexicana in full flower about the place gave a sense of botanical excitement. After a discouraging walk over the dry hills for two miles I ran into a fairly good botanizing area. Ludlow is the junction of the Tonopah and Tidewater railway, and the Santa Fe.
