Where most pictures on this board show a single crop, this one is titled for a mixed arrangement, a dessert of fruit that suggests a finished table rather than a harvest. Labels like this were pasted onto wooden crates and fruit boxes so buyers could spot a grower's brand from across a packing house or a grocer's shelf. Bright color and idealized fruit mattered, since a striking image helped one box stand out among many. The design also borrows the language of still-life painting to sell an everyday commodity.
