These three come from a series already in this collection under “Prints.”  As mentioned there, they first appeared in 1936 in “The Sketch.”  How curious, that something done in 1936 would attract reprinters in both England and the USA and, in fact, in different media.  As I also mention there, there is a sauciness to the approach taken to the fruits.  The language is sometimes so age-bound and colloquial, that I do not know what it means.  For example, what might it mean that “Major Radish Trots Out a Few”?  That he pays a lot?  One card featuring Mr. Spring Onion, is a partial rendition of a design there.
