Prairie Flower Florida Citrus Fruit Label

This vintage fruit crate label, likely from the mid-20th century, features a charming illustration promoting "Prairie Flower" brand Florida citrus fruit from Wetumpka Fruit Co. in Hastings, Florida. The artwork depicts a woman in a blue dress gathering fruit from an orange tree, with a basket full of citrus at her side. In the background, a picturesque white house with a gabled roof sits amidst lush greenery and palm trees, evoking a sense of idyllic Florida living. The label's design, with its warm yellow background and deep blue text, is characteristic of early advertising, aiming to convey freshness, quality, and the bounty of Florida's citrus groves. It serves as a nostalgic piece of agricultural history and a testament to the region's prominent fruit industry.
