Printed crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that buyers could recognize a grower's fruit at a glance, and the bird of paradise on this example is what sets it apart from the many apple labels on the same board. Brand names such as Paradise were chosen to sound exotic and appealing to eastern markets, and the tropical bird图案 offered a striking contrast to the orchard scenes and portraits common on other labels. Chromolithographed labels of this kind were produced in large runs by commercial printers, often in bright colors meant to catch the eye on crowded grocer shelves. Looking closely, you can see how the designer balanced bold ornament with the plain necessity of identifying the fruit and its origin.
