The "Old Adobe" Trademark of the California Nursery Company

 

The "Old Adobe" oranges were sold at the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939-1940. 

The "Old Adobe" trademark was filed in 1943. 

It first appeared as a small graphic in the 1940s catalog. And from then on it was frequently seen on stationary, shirt patches, and order forms.

A favorite cover 1939/1940 catalog. The original painting needed to be flipped.

When the old adobe was renovated, it became the heart of the nursery.
