View from the Hale Peach Orchards. 

 This view shows five-year-old Elberta and Crosby peach trees in an orchard of 7,000 trees planted on 

 upland hill-pasture of little value. It is from this height, when looking down upon the fruit farm at its foot, 

 and beyond up and down the beautiful valley of the Connecticut, that we thank God we live in the country, 

 and work with Natuie.
