Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 684
e birds and other wild things whichmake the hollows of trees their homes, and themany interesting and curious objects which maybe found in tree holes, are too numerous to bedescribed here. I have seen gnarled trunks which made beau-tiful pictures, though all save one of theirbranches had been… … THE APPLE-TREE. Although this kindly tree has nothing better to offer us for eating thanuseless sour apples, he freely offers them with generous, outstretchedhands, never so far from the ground that they can not be easilygathered by hand or by a bag on the end of a pole.
