Do you know about George Hawley and his nursery trees ? Yes Edith Hawley's father makes nursery trees , that is trees to pla in the nursery . Such a tree perhaps as Eugene Field had in min in one of his nursery rhymes or Poems o Childhood ,, when lie wrote that ouching poem about " When the dinkey bird is singing in the Amphalulu tree . " Yes , the amphalulu tree must have bee .. one of those nursery trees , you héern tell about . Maybe no we could make up some nursery rhymes about George Hawley's nur- sery . Let me see :
There is a tall geezer and his name is George Hawley ,
He's three feet taller than Algernon Whalley .
He called for his rake and he called for his spade
And he made a new tree that gave lemonade ,
That was prized for its berries and prized for its shade . Now George is a genius and you know it by Gawly
This little lady , here name is Helen ,
In five or six years we give her a bellin '
We are proud of her wonderful quality hair , She brushes it daily with tenderest care ,
And washes it yearly with the juice of a melon . Edith , Edith rakes and seedeth ,
All he dooryard , all the lawn , All the grass down to the street . Edith , Edith , all you needeth Is a red and flaring skirt
You would make a hit complete . Edith ,, Edith , seedeth , weedeth While the boys go passing by
Some one needeth , some one bleedeth When they catch fair Edith's eye .
And so the wonderful Hawley girls grew up in a nursery with- out any nursery maid , and they rode in the Haynes and they took lots of pains with their lessons and hair . And they followed the narrow garden path past the shrubbery with the big red flowers down to see their sister - in - law who was a school teacher until she got completely carried away with the Monroe Doctrine . They found out that their father had made most of his money by graft , not political graft at all , but appletree graft , because he listened to a good prophet and heeded the scions of the times .
