Set against the many crate labels on this board, the Linse Brand label stands out for the phrase "high grown" printed across its design, a term growers used to suggest fruit raised at higher elevation and, in the mind of buyers, better color and firmness. The label names the Yakima Valley in central Washington, a region whose irrigated orchards became a major source of apples shipped by rail to eastern markets in the early twentieth century. Crate labels like this one were printed in bright colorlithography to catch the eye of wholesalers and shoppers on crowded store shelves, so the artwork often mattered as much as the fruit inside.
