Citrus and Saguaros - Lettuce and Landscapes - An Illustrated History of Citrus and Commercial Row Crops in Arizona

Fruit and vegetable farming has a long history in Arizona, and the colorful crate labels used by the industry to grab the attention of eastern wholesale produce buyers are some of the best examples of 20th century commercial art. Regional historian Royal John Medley of Oracle, whose extensive collection of vintage paper ephemera centers on the produce industry of the American Southwest with emphasis on Arizona, will present the history of the artwork once essential to Arizona citrus and vegetables marketing.

This is a Free Event.
