Pandas lookup value in a range from another table

In the example below I am trying to check if the "Value" in Table 1 is in the range of values in a row in Table 2 for columns "Start" and "Stop". If the value is in that range I want to return the type of "Fruit". The between method seems to be able to accomplish this but unsure how to apply it to a row from another table. Note I need to perform this task using a large dataset and am open to using methods outside of the pandas library.

enter image description here

Sample Code

df1 = pd.DataFrame({'Date': {0: '06-01', 1: '06-02', 2: '06-03', 3: '06-04'},
                   'Value': {0: 3, 1: 7, 2: 9, 3: 16}, })

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'Start': {0: 1, 1: 6, 2: 11, 3: 16},
                    'Stop': {0: 5, 1: 10, 2: 15, 3: 20},
                    'Fruit': {0: 'Apple', 1: 'Orange', 2: 'Pear', 3: 'Mango'},})

Table 1

    Date  Value
0  06-01      3
1  06-02      7
2  06-03      9
3  06-04     16

Table 2

    Fruit  Start  Stop
0   Apple      1     5
1  Orange      6    10
2    Pear     11    15
3   Mango     16    20

Table 1 Desired Output

    Date  Value  Fruit
0  06-01      3   Apple
1  06-02      7  Orange
2  06-03      9  Orange
3  06-04     16   Mango

Here is on of the way rather than using IntervalIndex , we check with numpy board-cast 

s1=df2.Start.values
s2=df2.Stop.values
s=df1.Value.values[:,None]
np.dot((s>=s1)&(s<=s2),df2.Fruit)
array(['Apple', 'Orange', 'Orange', 'Mango'], dtype=object)
