R. M. Hoskinson tree farm 1872

What sounds like an exaggeration with regard to number to trees, the sale notice below proves true. Riley was a lover of trees, fruit in particular, planting a a few thousand on his farm in Osage Co., KS and later on his homestead in Kitsap Co., WA. "R. M. Hoskinson, of Burlingame, has planted several I thousand trees upon his prairie farm among which are oak, walnut, soft maple, elm, white ash, sycamore, calapala, white and yellow willow, mulberry and cottonwood. Many of his cottonwoods are now about thirty feet high and six inches in diameter."
