Then Theodora, Ellen, and Catherine prepared over a hundred jarfuls of the green vine and berries.

Those they sent to Portland and Boston during Christmas week under the name of Mitchella Jars, and Christmas Bouquets.

The jars, which were globular in shape and which ranged from a quart in capacity up to three and four quarts, cost from fifteen to thirty-five cents apiece.

When filled with mitchella vines, they brought from a dollar and a quarter to two dollars.
On the day above referred to they set out to gather more vines, and they told the people at home that they were going to "Dunham's open"-- an old clearing beyond our farther pasture, where once a settler named Dunham had begun to clear a farm.

The place was nearly two miles from the old Squire's, and as the girls did not expect to get home until four o'clock, they took their luncheon with them.
They hoped to get enough mitchella at the "open" to fill fifteen jars, and so took two bushel baskets.
