Description:
Peaches are laid out to dry in the sun. In this photograph the open space between the rows of peach trees is being utilized.
The man (who may be Claus Lindblom) appears to be peeling a peach. C. Lindblom Turlock is lettered on the ends of the two
boxes next to the row of trees on the right. The man on the left demonstrates the versatility of the "frames" used to dry
the peaches. The bottom is made of meshed wire to allow air circulation during the drying process. With the sides framed
in wood each one could be easily moved, stacked or laid flat on the ground as are those in the forefront of the photograph.
