Apple crate labels like this one, printed for Borgovich & Dragovich of Watsonville, California, come from the years when Santa Cruz County's orchards and packing sheds sent fruit across the country by rail. Watsonville, in the Pajaro Valley, was a major apple-growing center, and the colorful lithographed labels pasted to wooden crates were meant to catch the eye of buyers in distant markets. Brand names such as "Appleton" evoked orchard abundance and a pastoral ideal, and the labels today offer a window into the commercial art and marketing of early California agriculture.
