Coming out of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery today, where I had just been to deposit the corpse of a man, I pick up an oak tree three inches high with the acorn attached.
The republican swallow at Hosmer's barn just begun to lay.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, May 29, 1859
The Ranunculus bulbosus are apparently in prime. See May 29, 1857 ("Ranunculus bulbosus in bloom."); May 17, 1856 ("Ranunculus bulbosils a day or two at least.")
An oak tree three inches high. See May 12, 1859 ("My red oak acorns have sent down long radicles underground.”)
