Description
Summary:maidenhair n Well, then, the maidener tea berries *. Did you ever see them? It's white. Did you ever see a ant's egg? Well, the shape of an ant's egg and very little larger. And they grows underneath big fir trees, long and.like little shamrocks all stuck on.all along. And they're right thick, and they're soft - something [the] same as a ripe bakeapple, but white, about a parchment white, you know, not right snow-white. Oh, I imagine it will take you a day to pick a gallon, no odds how plenty they were. But I imagine you'd eat five gallons if you had them picked. They're better than a bakeapple, beautiful. And all along these woods, wherever the woods are growing, right.over the hill, everywhere, they're there. [* spelling?] Yes DNE-cit J.
