Please keep these annotations SPOILER-FREE by not revealing information from later pages in the novel.

Southern California used to be full of fruit/vegetable orchards. And local farms would develop their own crate labels. Here are some examples.

St. John's Episcopal Church
Since 2008 referred to as St. John's Cathedral. The reference may seem odd, as the church is now - and was in 1970 - a very liberal one. Of course, Crocker Fenway would have been married there in the 1940s, before its transformation from "an upper-level parish church controlled by businessmen" had occurred.

Patek Philippe moonphase
An expensive watch, obviously: characteristics include a high value and a very complex and precise mechanism. Crocker Fenway's watch would, today, fetch a significant price: a 1968 watch (with some unusual characteristics) went for over $183,000 at a Christie's auction in November 2008. Older, and particularly rare, models have sold for over a million dollars.
