Summerland, British Columbia, sits in the Okanagan Valley, a region whose dry climate and irrigated benchlands made it one of Canada's leading fruit-growing districts in the early twentieth century. This crate label, printed for Orchard Canadian apples, is a small piece of that trade. Fruit labels like this one were pasted onto wooden crates so that buyers in distant markets could recognize a grower's brand, and their bold colors and illustrated orchard scenes were meant to make a shipment stand out on a crowded railway platform or grocer's shelf. Look closely at the lettering and printed artwork to see how growers tried to sell the place as much as the fruit.
