About this postcard

A close-up black-and-white view of grapefruit hanging on tree branches, with dense foliage and bright sunlight filtering through. A white border surrounds the image. The printed caption names the spot as Sniff Gardens in Indio, in the Coachella Valley of Southern California, where irrigation had turned desert land into citrus groves by the early twentieth century.
