American Harvest Home, 1881. 'The autumn days are when American skies are brightest, and the gold and purple tints change the foliage to colours unknown in Europe. Then come the happy days of harvesting. The Indian corn, or maize, is now ripe...Some farmers [husk corn] in the field...There are great piles of just-gathered ears...Pumpkins are grown in immense quantities, especially in New England'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
