The Round Top farm is on Chester River, in Queen Anne
Co., Md., owned by John Harris.  "The peach orchard is the
great feature of the farm.  It extends along the river bank
for an unbroken stretch one and seven-eights [eighths] miles and is
a mile deep; 1,013 acres of peaches are here growing and
bearing in this one orchard [1871].  Nine years ago the
locality was covered with the native forest."  All the peaches
were canned.  "The quantity put up this year will be
about  a million cans.  The daily work was about four <s>million</s> thousand
baskets or 30,000 cans."--The Am. Farmer, Balt., 1872. p. 62.

not so extensively interested in peach growing as Kent, but
most of her farmers have market orchards."--No mention
is made of yellows.  Account of visit to Mr. Tighlman,
