1950s Date Groves Laden with Fruit, Coachella Valley, California

This vintage postcard beautifully captures the rich agricultural heritage of the Coachella Valley and Palm Springs area. The image features towering date palms heavy with ripening fruit, each tree capable of producing up to 200 pounds of dates. The distinctive paper bags covering the clusters were carefully placed to protect the fruit as it matured in the warm desert sun.

The region has long produced over 90% of the nation’s dates, earning its reputation as America’s date capital. This card reflects that proud legacy during the height of California’s mid-century travel era.

Published by Western Resort Publications, 1320 N. Broadway, Santa Ana, California, and copyrighted by Ferris H. Scott, this postcard is a wonderful piece of West Coast agricultural and tourism history.

A perfect addition for collectors of vintage California memorabilia, farming history, or classic roadside Americana. A vibrant vintage 1950-1962 postcard that would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
