Golden Rod Brand is the name printed across this apple crate label, and it points to the fruit-packing trade that flourished in American orchard regions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that growers and packing houses could sell their fruit under a recognizable name in distant city markets. Their bold colors and lithographed illustrations were designed to catch the eye of buyers at crowded produce stands and grocery counters. Today such labels are valued as a window into commercial art and the marketing of American agriculture.
