Its wording marks it as a product of wartime rather than a plain brand name: "The Seeds of Victory Insure the Fruits of Peace" pairs a call to plant with a promise about the world after the fighting. Labels like this were printed in color lithography and pasted onto produce crates, so the slogan reached buyers at the point of sale. The phrasing echoes the home-garden campaigns of the Second World War, when civic groups and government agencies urged families to grow their own vegetables to ease pressure on commercial food supplies. Notice how the words and the fruit or vegetable imagery work together to present a harvest as a contribution to the national effort.
