The Yellow St. John 

 promises to be the most 

 popular peach of its season. 

 To-day (Aug. 25) we visited 

 the peach orchard belong 

 ing to Mr. Jonathan Car- 

 penter, of Winona. He has 

 several thousand trees, and 

 a good many varieties for a 

 commercial orchard, and 

 counts the Yellow St. John 

 as one of his best. His 

 trees are five years planted, 

 and receive the very best 

 of cultivation and manure. 

 He prunes them low and 

 Fig. 100(j.— Yellow St. John. shortens them in, so that 



the trees are very compact and easily picked. Under such treatment it is not 

 surprising that his trees yield an average of five baskets per tree. 



Mr. Carpenter does hand work in his peach orchard, but has a disc harrow, 

 with an extension which will reach well under the projecting limbs and cultivate 

 close to the very trunk. His orchard is situated on the lake shore near Winona, 

 and the house is a substantial stone building, the approach to which is by a long 

 avenue lined with Norway Spruce trees.
