NAMES CHRISTMAS TREES
The Once Despised Fir Now Popu-
lar source of Revenue.

The once FIT NO"
lar source of Revenue.
A few years ago the fir tree was
looked upon as nuisance i'll Maine.
Now it is Il source of considerable in
come to hundreds and to the transpor-
tation companies as well.
The beginning of its popularity was
in 1892. when party of hunters who
had been in steam yacht to New
foundland to shoot caribou called at
Sargentville, on Penobscot bay, to visit
some abandoned copper mines short
distance inland. The leaves had fallen
from the deciduous trees, causing the
dark evergreens to stand out in bold
relief against neutral background of
browns and grays. The owner of the
yacht was struck by the beauty Of the
scene and also with a practical idea.
He hired men and horses and had cut
about 600 of the frs, which he carried
on the deck of the yacht to Boston,
where they were offered for sale.
The demand exceeded the yachtsman's
greatest expectations. for the whole lot
was snapped up in short order. SO
profitable was the first venture that in
the next Christmas season fully 10000
frs were sent from the shores of Pc
nobscot bay TO Boston. where they were
all sold at good prices. and in the fol
lowing year the trade was extended to
| New York, where the frs were as
eagerly taken. In 1896 the shipments
of trees from Maine to the large cities
had increased to about 100000, and in
1899 over 100000 We're sod.
In some sections. where the fir is es-
peciaIly prolific, the cutting and pre-
pairing of Christmas trees is made the
occasion of festive gatherings, CORE
spending to the hu>NingS in fail time,
whole families going into the woods
ana taking their dinners along. 4
man GUS the trees close to the roots
and boy or a strong girl cuts with
sharp Ratchet the few dcad limbs from
the base. Women and boys tie the
trees into bundles of a dozen, and then
the harvest is piled into hayracks and
carried TO the nearest railroad station.
The smaller children gather the trail
ing crecpers of the ground pine, pluck
branches of glossy wintergreen and
gather the red fruit of the wild raisin
shrub, all of which are packed in boxes
and sent to the cities for the making of
wreaths and garlands for the decora-
don of church and home.
The evergreen harvestS are generally
bought 10y men who make business of
supplying the Christmas markets of the
cities, though many farmers and others
send their crops direct to market For
trees five to six feet in height the buy
ers in Maine pay , cents each. and for
trees six to ten feet in height the price
paid is 10 to II cents The five cent
