Excerpt from Out of Doors for Women, Vol. 1: April 1894 A young lady walking with a sister in her father's garden and eating cherries, inserted one of the cherry stones in the center of a decayed stump. Forthwith sprang up a tree and bore cherries of which she partook before her wedding day; and not many years later it had gone to decay and not a vestige of it could be found m that attractive home garden. Locust trees that were planted fifty years ago in a flourishing New England village, grew' rapidly, produced their lovely and fragrant racemes of flowers for a few summers and then the trees went to decay, were removed and sugar maple trees were planted in their place, which have now grown to such proportions that sugar is made fiom some of them by their owners or their neighbors.
