Background:

Original color prints of Fruit grown in the state of New York.   Included in the series shown here are Berries (Including Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries and Dewberries), Cherries and Peaches.

The Fruit prints were part of early 1900s monographs published by the state agricultural service to promote an understanding of the varieties grown, as well as guidance for the farmer on planting and ongoing care.

The prints are based on actual photos of each variety of Fruit.
