Early citrus industry: picking, packing, and marketing
Manuscripts
Emmett B. Norman's history of the citrus industry in Duarte, California, from the 1880s through 1938, combined with reminiscences of his own and his father's experiences with citrus growing and selling. Topics covered include a history of orange picking and pickers, orange washing, orange packing, orange shipping, and citrus marketing, as well as citrus diseases and the impact of the weather on crops. Norman focuses on the Duarte-Monrovia Citrus Association, the Duarte-Foothill Citrus Association, and the Duarte Fruit Exchange. Includes 15 photographs (c.1890-1938) showing orchards (mainly those of E.D. Northrup and the Norman Ranch), packing house exteriors and interiors (including the Duarte-Foothill Citrus Association, the West Duarte Packing House, the Duarte Southern Pacific Railway Station with the Duarte-Monrovia Citrus association in the background, and the Earl Fruit Company), the F.M. Shrode horse-shoeing building, and pesticide machinery. Also includes a sketch of a citrus packer by Edna A. Chess, several diagrams demonstrating ways of packing oranges, and selected meeting minutes of the Duarte-Monrovia Citrus Association (1893-1922; mainly 1890s).
