Beginning in 1892 a hunter visiting Sargentville sparked shipments to Boston with 50 000 trees, later expanding to New York and nationwide.

Prices range from 5 to 15 cents per tree, with city sales yielding up to 25 cents to a dollar. Overall Maine’s Christmas greens may bring about 150 000 dollars in revenue that year.
