the Thoreau Log.
20 March 1856. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Trillium Wood and to Nut Meadow Brook to tap a maple, see paludina, and get elder and sumach spouts, slumping the deep snow . . .

  Father read in a paper to-day of seven hundred and forty-odd apple tree buds recently taken out of the crop of a partridge . . .

  Set a pail before coming here to catch the red maple sap, at Trillium Wood . . .

(Journal, 8:213-216)
