This vintage crate label from Waverly Growers Cooperative features striking artwork designed to capture attention.

This charming figure holds a large, ripe orange, surrounded by delicate orange tree branches adorned with green leaves, all set against a deep blue background. The prominent word "FULL" is displayed in large, stylized white lettering at the top, suggesting the quality and abundance of the fruit. Below the main artwork, the text "WAVERLY GROWERS COOPERATIVE" is clearly printed, with "WAVERLY, FLORIDA" indicating the origin of this citrus product. The label also proudly states "Produce of U. S. A.".

This paper label showcases classic lithographic printing techniques, typical of fruit crate labels from the mid-20th century.
