These sanddunes are rather more densely covered with vegetation than
those at Muscatine, and somewhat resemble the parts of the sandy
areas at Chicago which are covered with larger shrubs and small trees, with the more xeroplytic openings here and there. In this part on Csepel
Isl. the planting of Scotch Pine and Robinia has affected the
appearance, and Dr. van Degen says that the sand pusten at Nagy Nyir
are just like the Csepel area with the

Scotch Pine and Robinia removed. Dr. von Degen doesn't regard the
sand-pusten, - the real "pusten," - as equivalent to the steppe because
there is no summer resting period. He applies the term "pusten" to
these sandy areas, such as on Csepel Isl. and at Nagy Nyir
He calls the salt areas "salt steppes" because they have a summer
resting period during which the vegetation almost disappears.
The prevailing winds here, according to Dr. von Degen, are from E. to
West, there was a great sand plain east. The sand is at surface, loose,
and practically free from humus.

Nearer Budapest it is very sandy, and there are many vineyards. About

It looks much like Northern Iowa, but there is little corn, wheat being the
chief crop, with some oats.
The wheat harvest is now well on.
This plain runs to the Danube and the latter flows along the loess bluffs
which rise to the west.
Occasionally on this plain there is also a poorly drained tract.
Here and there sandy hummocks also appear on the richer plain.
About half way down to Kunsenfmiklos salty spots begin to appear in

In the morning we started out for Dnešice to see Paul's uncle. On the
way from the station, Dnešice-Žerov, to Dnešice I took photos in

We had lunch at uncle Václar's house (he is married a second time) and
then started for Krašave - in drizzling rain.
Uncle Václar works in the coal mines, a little west of Dnešice, in the
forest-covered mountains
From Dnešice a broad valley or basin extends southeast. It is a beautiful
region with every bit of it (practically) under cultivation. Václar Hanzlik
gets 32 K. for two weeks works, -yet he is educating a son by the
second wife.
We started to walk to Krašave, but beyond the pine forest the rain was
heavier, and we were glad to met the coachman of

It rained all the way.

We were driven to the R.R. station where I waited for a train [[insert]]
from 2.20 until 5.12 pm [[/insert]] and Bertha & Paul went on to Dnevice
to see uncle. I remained about two hours in the "hostinec", and there
met an old German who spoke fair Bohemian- an interesting character.
His notion[[insert ]] was that Americans are chiefly concerned in getting
girls for immoral purposes.[[/insert]] Reached Pilsen at 5.44 pm, and
remained in hotel.

We then went to Wollners, and Mrs. Wollner took us to the famous
"Mšanský" brewery. The brewery is an extensive property, but some of
the methods look primitive. Their beer "Urquell" is advertised all over
Europe. Mrs. Wollner is a shareholder. It seems that there were about
65 properties with the brewing rights

purchased some of the properties and thus acquired the rights. This still
leaves about 50 rights held by private individuals. In the afternoon we
had another visit from Paul's relatives, and later we visited [[Buriane?]],
and received pictures.
The day was disagreeable, and mostly rainy.
In the evening we called on the Wallner's again, and had a pleasant visit
and big supper. Mr. Wollner is a book printer (?), + his son Emil is

someway deaf, like the father. Mrs. Wollner is a very jolly woman who
reminds one of some of the [[Charvats?]].
Her son is a keen, bright + young business man, very up to date. He
wants me to come back and see the factory. They manufacture sanitary
closets, bath tubs, etc.
In a chat with Burian I learned that Jos. Kile's mother was a sister of

Could not leave on early train because waiter had put my fountain pen

We left for Chrast at 10.[[superscript]]21[[/superscript]] am. Plez is
somewhat old-fashioned, fairly clean, and not so high-priced in some
things as Prague. There is the usual slow, comfortable way of
progressing. (When we came in [[subscript]]^[[/subscript]]

The town of Chrást has had something of an industrial boom, but the old
town still struggles along the slope.
On a narrow street leading down the hill from the "main" street, we found
the old erný house, no. 7. A widow, Mrs. Surchý, (who was an Jilek) now
lives there with a daughter.
Mrs. Suchý is not well. She is a widow. She says that the house is same
as of old, and that the ornamented[[?]] door is the old door, - probably
made by the grandfather erný.
They keep hay in the garret.
The barn is not the original.

We left for eastern Bohemia at 6.35 am Paul + Bertha stopped at
Pardubice, and I went on to Svitava and Borová.
The day is fine.
At Pardubice, on the north side, I could see Kuntická hora, rising out of
plain.
The whole country traversed is comparatively flat, and nearly all under
cultivation. It is harvest time and quite a bit of machinery is in use.
Along the Labe swamps and "kyselky" appear, much as in part which we
visited
At Choce the country begins to be a little rougher, or rather simply more
rolling, at at once more forests appear.

[[insert- upper right hand corner]] 147 [[/insert]]
This already begins at the second station west of Choce, and the farther
we go the more woods appear, especially on the north side.
Just at edge of town east of Choce there are some rocky ledges, and
beyond these quarries appear. The quarries are fine. The country east
grows quite rough.
Flowers appear in windows and on "shelves" everywhere along the line.
There are many rocky ledges. Beyond Brandy's road Orlici it is quite
rough, with steep wooded slopes. The forest is mostly spruce, and some
deciduous trees appear. As Ústi nad Orlici there are rocky bluffs and
wooded hills. Then, beyond town to north it is less rough and more
cultivated.

A violent storm is brewing, and we hurried back. It commenced to rain,
and we retired to a restaurant for supper. Here we had a little difficulty
because the waiter brought only two suppers for three people, and
claimed that was all that we ordered.
On the way to our rooms we stopped at a shop to buy postcards, but as
it was after 9 P.M. we had to stand on the street in the rain because is

Photo 28 is of special interest. It shows the row of statues on the west

The line of statues begins at the north end on the west side, near the
Column of Victory, with Albrect der Baer, 1100 - 1170, who holds a

These gardens were developed under the encouragement of Emperor

I called at the homes of Dr. (Geheimrat) Engler and Dr. Diels, but neither
of them at home. I then strolled about the garden and made
miscellaneous observations.
The plant houses have blinds of slats, wired together, which can be
drawn up on rollers. The walls of the plant houses are of brick, and have
ventilating windows in lower part.
In the houses with upright walls canvass curtains are used.

The surface of the grounds is quite irregular, - partly original, but largely
artificially created.
An interesting feature of the gardens is the development of beds for
special studies. A more detailed grouping is shown in the description of
the gardens (printed), but I particularly noted the following:
- A bed demonstrating geotropism, Heliotropism, Anisotropism, etc. The
latter, for example, under a box-like cover, open at ends.
- A bed showing change in position of leaves, day and night. Here are

This is a fine feature of the garden. I went out and took [[underlined]]

We walked about the gardens, giving special attention to the ecological

The pile of limestone, lava, granite, rocks, etc., sometimes with trickling
water, and sometimes dry, furnish a variety of conditions, and special
rail beds furnish still other variety.
The pile of rock showing the Caucasus flora is fine. An Australian
section is also noteworthy.
The earth and rock in some cases had to be hauled from great
distances. Sixty men are now required to care for the garden. This has
been cut from 100, formerly employed. In many cases they temper the

He suggested that at Halle there are still remnants of steppes. Also bits
