Annual 1934 (5Oth Year) NURSERY BOOK — FRUIT and ORNAMENTAL NURSERY STOC HARRISONS’ NURSERIES, Inc. _.. BERLIN e MARYLAND | Over Five Thousand Acres in Nurseries and Orchards 1884 = A HALF CENTURY 1934 OF NURSERY EXPERIENCE A Portion of Harrisons’ Fruit Tree Nursery rison founded Harrisons’ Nurseries in a modest way by planting an acre each of peach trees and strawberry plants. In 1886 his sons, Orlando and George A. Harrison, formed a co-partnership, being J. G. Harrison and Sons, and it was the vision, foresight and undaunted courage of the sons which was responsible for the rapid and huge growth of the young, nationally known or- ganization. Experts were employed for the proper op- eration and development of the various -de- partments and new lines of horticultural items were added for propagation from year to year. The sales rapidly increased, thereby making it necessary to grow larger volumes of nursery products, consequently purchasing additional farms. It was fortunate for the progressive Proprietors that Berlin, Maryland, has the best soil and an unusually favorable climate for the proper growth and develop- ment of horticultural varieties, with ample labor. The success was due to growing prod- ucts of superior quality with experienced nurserymen and by selling them at reason- able, attractive prices to their customers throughout the several States of the Union, as well as foreign countries. Senator Orlando Harrison was the executive and personally supervised the sales and the packing houses, while Honorable George A. Harrison was personally in charge of the propagation and erowing one of the largest and most complete [: THE year of 1884 Joseph George Har- lines of nursery stock throughout the Nation. He was known as the best grower in America and his reputation was international. Orlando and George A. Harrison were the pioneers in planting and developing commer- cial peach and apple orchards on a large scale in the East. The present owners, being G. Hale, Henry L., Orlando, John L., Joseph G. and Burbage Harrison are practical nurserymen and or- chardists, especially trained in horticultural pursuits. They are in personal charge of various departments. The six Harrisons devote their entire in- terest in producing the highest quality prod- ucts to be found in America and are selling them at the lowest prices within a generation. We are also operating one of the largest aggregations of highly developed commercial peach and apple orchards in the East. We deeply appreciate the loyal support of the thousands of customers who have favored us with their business during the past fifty years. The “New Deal” is encouraging and we believe that horticulture has a bright and prosperous future. Our Golden jubilee has been due to your loyalty and all the members of the Harrison family are very grateful for your cooperation. Sincerely yours, HARRISONS’ NURSERIES, Inc. G. Hate HARRISON, President. Better fruits can come only from better trees planted on idea! soils, correctly fertilized, properly pruned, and well cultivated. A guarantee of these trees must be parent trees of proven character and performance GROW FRUIT FOR PROFIT Little Orchards Make More Money Than Big Farms larrisons’ orchards Heavy bearing peach trees in from which we procure Bud Selected strains Pient Harrisons’ Selected Trees Hundreds of our friends visit us at Berlin every year. Scarcely any one who looks over our Nurseries fails to express wonder at their extent, and admiration at the care with which we till each individual block; weeds . are kept down throughout the season. But for the rest of our friends—those who have not come—a little explanation of our methods of growing stock and handling or- ders may be interesting. We grow our stock and sell it direct to planters. Thus we know the crigin of all our stock and can guarantee it perfectly free from disease. We cultivate the trees more carefully in the nursery row than the intelligent farmer cultivates his rows of corn. This careful tending plays a great part in producing for each tree a vigorous root and shapely top. When it comes to budding we spare no pains to get every- thing exactly right and the varieties true to name. Every bud—every inch of propagat- ing wood—comes from trees that we have been watching closely for years, and whose fruit is critically inspected season after season. In short, the “ancestry” of every Harrison tree—root, trunk, and branch—is history to us before it leaves our nur- series. We cannot afford to take chances; neither can you, for it is too late to remedy mistakes when your trees come into bearing. Entrance to office, display Mr. Farmer, if you are not making money something is wrong. Other farmers are mak- ing money—BIG MONEY—and you can do likewise if you will produce something the people want dnd are wiiling to pay for. What is the use of wearing out yourself and your land on crops that pay from $10.00 to LESS THAN NOTHING per acre? Grow a few acres of fruit and leave the balance of your land idle. Fruit will give you a bigger cash profit than any other crop you can grow. You'll make more actual money from one acre of fruit than you will from 20 to 40 acres of or- Ginary farm crops. Show us a prosperous farmer and we will show you a fruit farmer. The reason for this is plain and simple— there is a big surplus of ordinary farm crops such as Wheat, Potatoes, Corn, Cotton, Etc., while on the other hand there is a shortage of fruits. There are no secrets involved in making big money with fruits. Plant our selected vari- eties and success is assured. Thousands of other farmers with land like yours and with the same training and ability have paid for their farms and become independent growing fruit. There is nothing but you yourself to keep you from making the Big Profits enjoyed by others. You have the land, we have the trees, so let’s get together. Every dollar in- vested in our quality, time proven trees will reap several dollars of profits. Fiarrisons' Service “Harrison Service” goes further than selling good trees and packing and shipping them right. We help you first, if you wish, in se- lecting suitable varieties for your soil, climate and market conditions; we tell you about the special care each variety needs; how each fruits best, and when the crop ripens. This information is at your service before you buy —after you buy—always; it is absolutely free to you without “strings” of any kind. grounds and packing houses e3e Success of many orchards is due to Harrisons’ Superior Strains of carefully selected fruit trees PEACHES The Crop for Huge Profits A peach orchard is a profitable investment. It has been estimated that Peaches have a greater commercial value in the United States than all other stone-fruits combined, a recent report covering several seasons giving a value of more than $30,000,000 for the average annual crop. Transportation problems have been solved and it is a comparatively easy matter to ship the fruit to distant markets, thus taking advantage of the demand and securing the highest possible prices. A Peach orchard may live and produce profitable crops for twenty-five years or even longer, but the wise grower plans to secure the cost of trees and the expense of planting from the first five or six crops, in addition to securing a fair profit and adequate returns for the labor, fertilizer, and other expenses incurred annually. The ideal soil for Peaches is a light sandy loam but they will succeed on a great variety of soils provided they are well drained. Guality Peach Trees Harrisons’ peach trees are the best peach trees you can plant in your orchard. Our superior Berlin climate and soil, plus Harri- sons’ methods of propagating, planting, bud- ding, cultivating, spraying, pruning, digging, 2 4 One of Harrisons’ famous bearing peach orchards grading and packing are what make the fine trees. If we could get you to come to Berlin, we would show you all the details. If you cannot come and will send us your order, we will stake our reputa-= tion on the prom- ise that you will get the very best trees that can be grown. Budded From Bearing Trees Our trees are budded_ direct from our own bearing orchards of superior strains. They will come into bearing earli- er, produce larger crops and return the grower more profits than trees produced by less up-to-date methods. The real worth of our peach trees is proved best by many thousands of bearing peach orchards planted with trees grown at Berlin. Now is the Time to Plant Now is the ideal time to plant peach trees; during the last few years the number of peach trees planted has declined consider- ably; this is going to result in a shortage of peaches and cause the price of the fruit to jump to extra high prices. Take advantage of the rock bcttom prices that we are selling peach trees for and plant an orchard now; it will pay you a big profit. = Atco, N. J.

Yellow, freestone, ripening four or five days ahead of Car- man. Very attractive peach of good size and fair quality. It withstands ship- ment better than most early varieties. This peach has attracted much atten- tion in New Jersey where it was origi- nated by the New Jersey Experiment Station. Where an early, yellow free- stone peach is desired we would recom- mend planting this variety. Our strain is the original, buds being cut from bear- ing trees in New Jersey. HILEY (Hiley Belle). White, freestone, medium size, highly red colored, very firm, being an exceedingly handsome creamy white peach with a delightful red cheek; flesh is white, fine texture, aromatic, very juicy and of the highest flavor. Tree is strong grower, very healthy and a marvelously heavy bearer. Being an excellent shipper, with the stamina to withstand very long hauls under refrigeration, together with its beautiful, most appetizing appearance, and being easily, attractively packed in six-gallon carriers, bushels and half-bushels, along with its recent high reputation and favor with the buying public, has made Hiley a strong contender as the highest genera averaged priced peach. Many of our va- rieties are propagated direct from the original strain, and Hiley being no excep- tion, as our late Mr. George A. Harrison cut the buds from the orchard of Mr. Eugene Hiley of Marshallville, Georgia, the originator of Hiley, then known as Early Belle, and later as Hiley Early Belle, now known as Hiley. Our Messrs. Harrison have frequently visited Georgia and also cut buds from trees being propagated di- rect from the original strain of Hiley from the famous Hiley or- __ chards of Rumph Brothers of Marshalliville, Georgia.

Midseason Varieties BELLE OF GEORGIA (Belle). White, freestone, large size, and most attractive in color and shape, with a light red cheek; flesh white, firm and delicious; extra fine flavor and generally considered as the highest flavored peach grown. ‘Trees grow quickly and shapely; are hardy and bear bumper crops annually; one of the heaviest con- sistent commercial bearers. One of the best long-distance shippers. Its highly at- tractive coloring with large size and won- derful carrying qualities and unusual pleas- ing flavor have won Belle of Georgia the national reputation of being the best white peach. Packs well in the standard six- gallon carriers, also bushels and half bushels. Always brings the highest market prices during its season. Our Belle of Georgia are propagated from the original strain; the buds being selected and sent us by a relative of the late Mr. L. A. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, who was the originator of this famous variety. Harrisons’ Original Strain of Elberta always bears bumper crops. Best strain known - » ELBERTA> The World’s Greatest and Best Money: ‘Making Peach Yellow freestone, Midseason. Fruit is large to extra large; golden yellow with brilliant shades of red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet and good flavor. Elberta has the greatest international reputation of any peach. It has been the standard for all other peaches almost since the date of its introduction. The coloring of Elberta is practically perfect. The rich, yellow skin is almost entirely covered with dark red blush upon the sunny side. This attrac- tive appearance and the uniform large size serve to sell it almost on sight. The Best Commercial Variety Tree is vigorous, very hardy, sturdy, thrives in widely different localities. El- berta is hardier in bud than most va- rieties, and’: is a uniform prolific bearer. You can always depend on Elberta as a sure cropper. Elberta Is the Best Long-Distance Shipper The large fruit, being uniform in size and shape, along with its high attractive red color and firmness, also its ability to stand shipments of three thousand or more miles under refrigeration in cars for two or three weeks before being consumed, but with stamina enough to still look its best, has won Elberta the reputation of being a peach with- out a peer and the variety which is always in favor and strong demand with the buying public, therefore demanding the highest pos- sible market prices. Elberta is by far the best canning peach. We believe that we have the best strain of Elberta peaches packed in crates. commercial orchards Elberta—The long distance shipper. World's best peach for World's best peach—champion Marvelous money maker Elberta obtainable. In our own commercial orchards we have tens of thousands of this strain, it was obtained from the late Samuel H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, the or- iginator of Elberta, from the original tree and budded in our nurseries. There are many different types of. Elberta, and the “Best Strain” is the cheapest and most profitable in the long-time investment. Recommend planting fifty to seventy-five per cent of your commercial orchard to Elberta. Plant Harrisons’ Superior Strain of Elberta and reap the huge gold profits. Whitehall Street, New York City, N. Y. March 23, 1933 Dear Sirs: Acknowledging your letter of the!22nd. I do not need any nur- sery stock this Spring. After all, I have only a small orchard and you supplied me such good stock on previous occasions, which is flourishing luxuriantly and looks like the proverbial “million dol- lars” that I will not need any more. Yours very truly, H. C. BLACKISTON ——————— New Prolific. Oid Mixon Free. Our favorable climate and ideal soils produce superior, well developed root systems J. H. HALE (Hale). Yellow, freestone, extra large, round, beautiful r coloring, firm, and of the highest quality and enticing flavor. Ripens about tweé or three days prior to Elberta. Hales are too large to properly pack in six-gallon carriers, but they make the most attractive and com- manding appearance, when packed ring- faced in bushel and half-bushel baskets. Hale quickly made a national reputation and is a strong competitor of Elberta, being just about as good a shipper as Elberta on long hauls. Prices on Hale and Elberta, with a large national crop, are about the same, but on a short crop year Hales usu- ally sell from 25c to 50c, and sometimes 75c more per bushel on the largest wholesale markets. Our Hales are propagated direct from the original strain, the buds being selected and cut by our late Senator Or- lando Harrison and his son, Mr. G. Hale Harrison, in person, with the late Hon- orable J. H. Hale of South Glastonbury, Conn., the originator of J. H. Hale, who at that time was the “Peach King of America’, owning large commercial orchards at South Glastonbury, Conn., and Fort Valley, Ga. Tree is somewhat dwarf, a moderate grower, and should be planted on the richest, best, well drained peach soil available. Hale needs more cultivation and fertilization than most varieties. Plant Harrisons’ strain of Hale for fancy trade. Yellow, freestone, large, pro- ductive. White, freestone, large with bright red cheek, tender, rich, excellent flavor. RAY.

Varieties to Plant The next most important thing in planting an orchard is the selection of varieties, in this itself lies the difference between profit and loss on your investment. In our test orchards we have tried out practically every variety and find that there are but few worthwhile varieties to plant on a commercial scale. However, for local conditions there are a number of varieties that give satisfac- tory results. But in order to be safe we would recommend the following. Summer Varieties Early apples are very profitable in sections where they mature early, or in sections that have a local demand. The most profitable early apple is the Yeliow Transparent and is by far the best. It is adapted to most every lo- cality. Other desirable early apples are Williams Early Red and Duchess. In certain sections Summer Rambo and Starr are giving highly desirable results. Autumn Yerieties McIntosh Red is in a class by itself in this group, it brings extra fancy prices on the market. Grimes Golden is still the leading yellow apple grown, it is highly desirable for ex- port markets. Jonathan is an apple that has been overlooked in the Eastern orchards, it is a sure winner and we advise to plant this variety. Winter Apples Delicious, Harrisons’ Red Delicious, Winesap, Rome Beauty, Stayman Winesap and York Imperial are the leading profitable late varieties. In planting your orchard be sure to pin your faith on one of the above. They have made money for others and they will do the same for you. Other de- sirable winter varieties for certain sections are: Baldwin, Cortland, Nero, Rhode Island Greening, Red Rome Beauty and Gano. ea a Summer Varieties BENONI. Orange-yellow—lively red, productive. DUCHESS (Duchess of Olden- burg). Medium size, red striped, flesh white, juicy and good flavor. Unusually heavy bearer, very dependable crop- per. You can depend on the Duchess to yield apples you can sell for good prices. Trees are natural dwarf growers and make fine fillers; require small root and branch space. Early Harvest.

The trees bear fully as well as the peach, and for canning, drying and shipping, it has so many points in its favor that it is difficult indeed to comprehend why planters have not engaged in nectarine culture more extensively than they have. The melting, juicy texture of the nectarine and its delicious flavor furnishes one of the most delightful fruits for eating during the summer. Plant a few trees in your home orchard this year.

Stocks being delicious and very healthful, every garden should have a generous supply and when prop- erly set and cared for will last a lifetime. The Famous Mary Washington— Plant This Pedigreed Strain There is no variety of Asparagus as good as Mary Washington and whether you are growing for home use only or for market you cannot afford to grow any other. This wonderful new Aspar- agus was developed and introduced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and although it is just a recent introduction it has become famous the country over. Rust Resistant——Prontable Growers everywhere are discarding ali other varieties in favor of the famous Mary Washington, because it is earlier, the stalks are larger, more tender and more productive than any other variety and more highly immune to rust, wnich means that one planting will produce profitable crops for many years. Lerge—Early—Tender—Juicy Asparagus buyers now demand Mary Washington and are willing to pay fancy prices to get it. The demand for Mary Washington is tremendous be- cause when it is once eaten, no other variety will give satisfaction. The staiks are purplish green color, large, tender and juicy. A very rapid grower which means many cuttings. Fiow to Grow Asparagus Asparagus is easy to grow and should be in every garden because it thrives everywhere. Spring is the best time to plant as soon as the soil can be worked into good condition. Dig or plow a trench ten inches deep, place the plants in this trench and spread the roots, then cover with two inches of soil, when the new growth comes through fill in two more inches and continue until trenchisfull. For garden culture Asparagus may be planted eighteen inches apart each way, but for fieid culture plant two feet apart in the row with the rows four feet apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently.

PSO HARRISONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS Big Yields—Fancy Fruit—Large Profits List of Selected and Tested Strawberries EARLY STRAWBERRIES Blakemore. The new early shipping berry that was de- veloped by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been thoroughly tested in nearly all the straw- berry producing centers and is rated as the best new berry in many years. Blakemore is a scientific cross be- tween Premier and Missionary, it makes an even more vigorous growth than Missionary. We believe it is the coming early berry to plant in those sections which are Gistant from the markets. DORSETT. a product of the master plant breeders of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Dorsett is destined te become a favorite berry after it becomes better known. Its ripen- ing period begins at the same time as Premier, but has a longer season and larger yield. The quality of fruit is ex- traordinarily good and has a highly pleasing appearance. This variety is vigorous growing and under normal con- ditions makes a heavy matted bed. We believe that it will pay everyone interested in strawberries to test this variety out along with Fairfax. The experimental results so far given the Dorsett ranks it as the best or one of the best varieties of strawberries ever originated. 8 FAIRFAX. A new promising early berry that was origi- nated by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. It has been tested in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey and has given exceptionally good results both in quality of fruit and yieids. Those who have eaten it claim it is a better berry in quality than the leading old standard varieties. In production tests it has outyielded the standard com- mercial kinds. Its best points are: large size firm ber- ries of attractive color, superior in flavor, vigorous and healthy foliage, large yields per acre, and resistant to frost. We advise every grower to try this variety out in a small way as we believe that it is going to make a highly profitable berry. Klondyke. An old-time variety that has been grown in the Southern and Eastern States. At one time it was the most profitable early berry, medium size, good qual- ity, moderately productive berry. Missionary. Medium size, of good color and fine flavor. It is extensively grown in the South because of fine appearance and good Keeping quality. A good commer- cial or home berry. Better plants make better crops Plant Harrisons’ Quality Strawberry Plants for profit and pleasure. Since 1884 we have experi- mented with strawberries, seeking the perfect development of such varieties that would prove most satisfactory both to commercial and home growers. Our soil and climate of the Eastern Shore of Maryland makes it the ideal plant- growing section of the United States. Our strawberry plants are recognized by au- thorities as standard. The rich, fertile soil that is unequalled anywhere and a mild winter climate tempered by the Atlantic Ccean, give our plants a vigorous growth and sturdy root systems, which assures their uninterrupted growth after trans- planting. Strewberries Pay Strawberries are a very profitable crop; many growers have made over $1,000.00 per acre, but this is when everything is favorable. We believe, how- ever, that the growers who plant our selected va- rieties and care for them in an up-to-date manner will make a good profit. He will not likely make $1,000.00 a year per acre average, but strawberries even in an unfavorable year will make some money for the grower, and in a good year when prices are high the grower will make a fancy profit. What other general farm crop will do this for you? More money in one acre of strawberries <— in a good year than in fifty acres of other gen- eral farm crops. Big Joe—Always popular and dependable e 26 PREMIER (or Howard 17). The most perfect early berry grown today. It is in a class by it- self, of all the early berries grown this is the only one of any importance. Premier fruits extra early, when berries are selling at a high price. It is a big yielder of big bright, red berries of fine flavor. Premier commences to fruit extra early and can be picked over a larger period than other early varieties. It thrives on most any type of soil and is a ram- pant plant maker. The above characteristics, together with its good keeping qualities, make it ideally adapted for either commercial plant- ings or home use. Plant Premier for Big Profits. Senator Dunlap. Big, uniformly shaped berries of handsome dark red color. Suitable for home use or market. MIDSEASON STRAWBERRIES BiG JOE. The best midseason berry grown.

This variety suc- ceeds on all types of soil, but does extra well when given good care and fertility. Be sure to include some Big Joe in your planting this spring. LATE STRAWBERRIES Aroma.

This berry was origi- nated by the Minnesota State Breeding Farm and has been given rigid tests over a wide area. It has proven hardy, resistant to disease, a heavy cropper of large excellent quality berries that will withstand shipments to market. Its main point in its favor is that it is ten days earlier than Latham, thereby getting in the mar- ket before other varieties are ripe. We have a limited supply of this variety and would advise every grower to try it out. Cuthbert. An old and reliable variety that has proven the main money-maker for Raspberry growers in many sections of the country for yeazs. The fruit is large, well colored, of superb flavcr and quality. We can recommend Cuthbert as an all-around berry either for home use, canning, local market or shipping. The canes are perfectiy hardy, foliage healthy. Bushes are large and very productive. Cuthbert sets the standard by which other Red Raspberries may be judged. LATHAM. Although this is a comparatively new va- riety it is entirely past the experimental stage, and we unhesitatingly give Latham to Harrisons’ customers as one of the very best Raspberries ever grown. This va- riety originated at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm and is being grown extensively in raspberry pro- ducing regions. The sensational yields of this variety have attracted the attention of growers everywhere, and everyone who has given it a trial are praising the many unusual features they have found in Latham. After thoroughly testing Latham we find it a remark- able variety in every respect and you will be both de- lighted and surprised after giving it a trial. Latham is a tall, vigorous grower, the canes are ex- tra heavy, well able to support the tremendous load of fruit. The foliage is a healthy dark green, tough and leathery, highly resistant to insects. Latham ripens with Cuthbert and is immensely productive.

Typical Maple leaves, large and bright green, fading to gold in the fall. Trunk and branches are sturdy and strong, lending an effect of ruggedness. Growth is fast. Branches and foliage are thick and compact, and the head, which is round- topped, begins to branch not far above the ground. The tree is large—towering 50 feet high when fully grown. Splendid trees, most beautiful and desirable. For lining the sides of lanes and roads, for a lawn, to protect the house from sun and weather, for shade, for beauty and satisfaction, and for real permanent worth in all landscape planting there are no other trees in its class. Norway Maples are at home in the mountains, but will thrive at any elevation, and in nearly any soil to be found in this country. 1to9 10 to 50 trees trees eC ONO hb setae ere oressisiocs Sine $1.00 $0.90 each GStCOZ8Se EUs eee ies cies a one 1.50 1.25 each Sato lOatts seeks Ce Ay ewe to 2.00 1.75 each LOZCOT12 hE ee oe ee dO 2.50 each 12) told Se ea es ee oe Peo 3.25 each e 36° SILVER MAPLE (Acer dasycarpum). The name comes from the color of leaves. Underneath, these are the same shade as new, bright silver; on top they are light green. Many of them are carried on their edges, and when wind blows the trees are alive with silver and green flashes. In the fall the leaves fade to pale yellow. Growth is faster than that of any other Maple, and probably faster than that of any other shade tree. Branches are slim and dainty rather than heavy, and the form of growth is spreading. Gets very large eventually—as high as 120 feet sometimes—and does well over nearly all the United States. Makes splendid quick screens or quick shade. On streets and in parks is extensively planted, and is very fine. {to9trees 10 to 50 trees Ghton 8) ftssetdecns eh oc cwe tA $0.70 $0.60 each SStoclO ft. fee Se ee ee -90 .80 each MORO RIDE Tee scan os charset 1.35 1.25 each (2toel 4) ft.

A hedge of any of the selected plants listed here will add dol- lars to the value of your home and make its appearance more charming. CALIFORNIA PRIVET This is the universal hedge in the East, a fact proving that Privet has greater merit under ordinary conditions for this purpose.than any other plant. For live fences at village, town and country homes it is the very best of all materials. On public grounds of ali Kinds, in parks and cemeteries, along roads and paths, on factory grounds, and on newly sub- divided areas near towns, noth- ing else can be used in its place, and in this place it is indispensable. It is the best of all hardy hedge plants. Can be easily Kept at any height desired; has glossy, deep green leaves, and holds them until late fali.

The leaves are small, light green, and toward fall turn to various colors which produce a very pleasing aspect. In fall this handsome pliant bears a profusion of bright red berries which remain through the winter. This Barbery is without doubt one of the best hedge plants and one that requires no attention, as it can be pruned or not at the owner’s discretion. Barberry is ab- solutely hardy. You need not fear that it will winter-kill at all. It will stand trimming, but does not need it even for wonderfully fine hedges, unless your space is very small. Along a@ walk, driveway, or even as a boundary hedge Barberry can be used to great ad- vantage, whether you trim it or permit it to grow as nature intended. On account of the dense and horizontal-growing branches, the plants make a thick hedge. 1to 10to 56te 300to 9 “AY 299 1006 plants plants piants plants 12 to 15 in... $0.15 $0.09 $0.07 $0.06 each 15te 418 ins.>° 220° .13 10 09 each 114 to 2 ft.... 25 18 14 12 each \ Ess ; Block of California Privet in the Nursery RED LEAVED BARBERRY (Berberis thunbergi atropurpurea) A highly important introduction among shrubs, giving us for the first time a practical easily grown shrub of medium height, with good, distinctly red foliage. This must prove a boon to all types of landscaping, where studied contrasts are to be worked out with the shrub foliage depended on for colors. Red Leaved Barberry is an exact reproduction of the Japanese variety in every way—habit, leaf-forma- tion and fruiting, but—whereas the original is a deep green from spring until fall, this variety starts off in its first foliage a warm bronzy red; the heat of summer intensifying its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints to its rich- ness. The abundant scarlet berries persist throughout the winter along the spiny twigs. A sunny exposure is neces- sary to bring out and retain its full red color. 1to9 10to49 50to 300 plants plants plants 9 to 12 in.......... $0.28 $0.23 $0.17 each D2 CO aa es ce .32 ay .20 each V5 toy Tse. as oe -30 .30 20 each BYE GO}?
