Florida Citrus Digital Collections
Crate Label Collection and Canning Label Collection
The Fruit and Vegetable Label Collection at 吃瓜网 contains digitized crate labels primarily from Thomas Mack, James Ellis, Jerry Chicone, and Anthony Whiting. Used primarily in the 1920s-1950s, these colorful labels were used for marketing the different groves and growers.
The collection also contains digitized canning labels from C. Howard Sweatt and Brenda Eubanks Burnette. Most of the labels date from the mid-1950s into the 1970s.
Florida Citrus Postcards Collection

In addition to fruits, groves, and citrus related equipment, the postcards contain pictures of railroads, packing houses, and fruit stands.
