Applewood is the place named in this picture, which pairs it with Valentine's Day, the February holiday that by the early twentieth century was a firmly established occasion for exchanging cards and small tokens of affection. Images tied to the day from that era often show hearts, cupids, and sentimental verses, and they were frequently mailed or kept as keepsakes. The available record gives little more about this particular scene, so details about Applewood itself are best checked against local sources.
