Christmas Trees by the Thousand.
From the Portland (Me) Argus.
Ten thousand small evergreen trees were
landed in New York on Sunday from the
Portland steamer. They were taken there
by two brothers named Chapman, who have
made it their business to scour the state of
Maine for them. Between now and Christ
mas they will take about 1000 bundles, or
20, 900 trees to supply the holiday trade
Every year new wooded district is resort
ed to, and the Chapmans buy the right to
cut the trees at two or three cents tree.
Men are hired to 60 over the ground and
chop down the trees. Only the shapely and
well rounded trees are felled. Then the
butts are sawed off and trimmed of their
smaller branches, and from two to ten trees,
according to size, are tied to each bundle.
This seasons supply comes from within
eighty miles Of Portland. The trees. which
cost three cents apiece in the woods of
Maine, sell for from seventy five cents to
81, Is bundle to the grocers and retail
dealers in New York.
