Gathering butternuts was, a. ntirely-different-from-picki-ng- beechnuts: The branches of the. trees were fewer and the nuts more,' visible. You could see quite well when the -nuts were all off the trees: 'They were large and; easily picked off the ground. It took a long tine to fill even a small basket with ;beechnuts.. It took only a few minutes to fill a'basket from the butternut trees.- 4] rees.' • Weitook them home, removed: the green skin covering from the - *Side ands then :placed the , `shell in s9rpe dry place' where it would not deteriorate by becoming • • mouldy.
