Apple Crate Label
name: label: referenced business
content: Hesperian Orchards
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This Hesperian brand apple crate label was used by Myron Foster during the early 20th century. In Greek mythology, the Hesperides were three nymphs, daughters of Hesperus (the Evening Star), who guarded Hera’s garden and its immortality-granting golden apples. Hesperian also means “relating to the West,” a very apt brand name for these Wenatchee, Washington apples.
