Century of age myths and tree budding in old notes
The article surveys centenarian claims from history, noting figures like the Countess of Desmond and Old Parr, and discusses the plausible human lifespan near 100. It cites 1890 census counts of centenarians and compares longevity with animals, then shifts to horticulture, explaining budding limits within genera and summer timing for grafting. It ends with a whimsical note on a smoker’s novel contrivance for pipe use.
