Information About Crimson Clover, Berry Plants and Seed Corn by E.G. Packard
Cover of a catalog with agricultural products “grown and for sale by E.G. Packard from Dover, Delaware, with prices for best varieties of each.”
The inclined face with horizontal contrast is Crayonette. It’s also used for the text set on angle and overprinted in red, proudly claiming: “All Cream, No Skim Milk Here.”
Seventy-three years later, Crayonette would appear on the album cover of Crimson & Clover by Tommy James & The Shondells. Coincidence?
There is also Old Style Extended for the other product names, and (a) Celtic for the location. “Information” and “E.G. Packard” is in a related bolder and condensed style which is eluding me right now. Carl Crossgrove’s recent Wakerobin Compressed would be a good contemporary stand-in. The all-caps roman and the grotesques are unidentified, too.
