Pickin' peaches
The automobiles of peach pickers are parked in front of a large hay stack in Delta County, Colorado in 1940. Peak peach season is from late June to early July in the South; July and August in the North. The best peaches are produced when weather conditions are ideal, with no late frosts.

I live ten minutes from Delta county and have never seen 1940's colour photos of the area before. These are great! They look so recent, one almost wouldn't believe they're over 65 years old.
