Lead with the variety named on this label: the Newtown Pippin, a green-skinned, tart apple that was grown in Newtown, on Long Island, New York, and became one of the most prized export apples of the nineteenth century. Crate labels like this one were printed to catch the eye of buyers in crowded markets, so the brand name and bright chromolithographed artwork did real commercial work. Growers used these labels to tie a name to their fruit, which helped shipments stand out and build a reputation for quality. Note the typography and color, which show how American fruit packers borrowed the tools of advertising printing.
