Few crate labels on the apple board carry a flower as their main image, which makes this Yakima, Washington design stand out. A bouquet of violets fills the label, and the name "Violet Apples" ties the picture to the fruit's brand. Yakima Valley grew into one of the major apple-shipping districts in the Pacific Northwest during the early twentieth century, when growers and packing houses used colorful crate labels to sell their fruit to distant markets. Labels like this one were printed in large runs, pasted onto wooden boxes, and were often kept as small pieces of commercial art long after the fruit was eaten.
