27-cent Tropical Fruit
On April 25, 2008, in Burlingame, California, the Postal Service issued the 27-cent Tropical Fruit definitive stamps in five designs. Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland, designed the stamps. Illustrator Sergio Baradat of New York, New York, created art that visually slices o r halves five tropical fruits: Pomegranate (Punica granatum), Star Fruit (Averrhoa carambola), Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa), Papaya (Carica papaya), and Guava (Psidium guajava). Two hundred million stamps in panes of twenty were printed in the offset process by Ashton Potter (USA), Ltd. (APU), Williamsville, New York. Avery Dennison (AVR), Clinton, South Carolina, printed 500 million stamps in coils of 100 using the gravure process. Reference: Postal Bulletin (March 27, 2008).
