PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

Harrisons’ Nurseries were established in 1884 with the
fundamental idea of furnishing the fruit growers and the
home owners with the highest quality nursery stock ob-

tainable, at reasonable, attractive. low prices. Our organ-
ization is well equipped with experts in all phases of the
nursery and orchard business and along with our favorable
climate and ideal soils, we are producing America’s finest
quality nursery products, which we are selling direct to you,
thus saving you the agent’s commissions and other unneces-
sary expenses.

In our forty-nine years of nursery experience, we have
passed through several periods of falling prices, but we have
never lowered Harrison standard of “Highest Quality” to
meet the demand for cheap goods—and never will—but
have made our 1933 prices to meet the present depression
conditions. You will find our prices generally lower than
others, when quality is compared.

Agriculture is the basis of all industry, and it will come
back to normal quicker than anything else. Fruit growing
is a Main industry of agriculture and over a period of gen-
erations has been the most profitable in cash returns. Fruit
prices are much higher today than many other leading

farm crops and products such as, corn, wheat, hay, cotton,
tobacco, peanuts, hogs, cattle and dairy products.
This spring will be the ideal time to plant an orchard—as

the highest quality trees are much cheaper than within ™ ~

a generation, labor is plentiful and good orchard land can
be purchased at exceedingly low prices. When your orchard
comes into bearing, it will be when times are favorable
and when the depression will be history, therefore prepare
now to reap the cash profits you are entitled to within a
few years.

We deeply appreciate the loyal support of the thousands
of customers who have favored us with their business from
year to year. We cordially invite the prospective customer
to visit our nurseries and orchards, thus availing himself
of the opportunity of comparing our Quality products and
noting our huge facilities to satisfactorily take care of his
order, regardless of size. :

Awaiting the pleasure of serving you, and with best
wishes, We are Sincerely yours,

WE MERIT YOUR PATRONAGE

BECAUSE: We enjoy the confidence of a large and
steadily increasing trade, which has been built up
by us by many years of faithful service and strict
adherence to the golden rule, ‘Do unto others as
you would have others do unto you.”

BECAUSE: Our prices are consistent with the quality
of the stock we sell. We claim and can prove that
our trees are bigger at any age than nearly all
others; that they are as hardy as the hardiest and
hardier than most others; that they have well-
ripened, firm wood when we sell them; that they
are absolutely clean and free from disease, true to
name, and that they are budded from bearing
orchards of superior strains.

BECAUSE: WE SELL ONLY TREES WE GROW.
Every tree you buy from us is Harrison-grown, and
is SO guaranteed. We will not expose our customers
to possibility of error in variety, or lack of quality
in the trees, and under no circumstances will we
sell or offer for sale any trees not grown on our
land under our own direction.

BECAUSE: Behind our stock, as a guarantee of its
superior quality, is the ripe experience of more than

forty-nine years in nursery and orchard work.
The third generation, consisting of six Harrison
Brothers, are devoting their entire time and atten-
tion to the production of “Harrison Quality” trees
for you to plant. The statements in this catalog
are based on our experience—they are true, and you
can depend on them.

Harrisons’ Fruit Trees Are True to Name

Harrisons’ Nurseries have been budding direct from bear-
ing commercial orchards, selecting only from those trees
which for many years have shown to have unusually heavy-
bearing habits, consisting of the best types possible and of
the best Known strains, for more than forty years.

This is an old Harrison-process, which has been the back-
bone of our wonderful international success in selling
trees, and the idea was originated by our late Senator
Orlando Harrison and our late George A. Harrison.

This process has just recently been Ciscovered by some
nurseries. Harrisons’ reputation on fruit trees has been
built up by the fact that over a quarter of a million cus-
tomers have found by actual test of growing and fruiting
our trees that they have proven to be absolutely true to
name, the best strains for the respective varieties, hardy,
‘sturdy, vigorous, withstanding the rigid cold winters of
Canada, as well as the hot scorching summers of Georgia,
Florida, Texas and Mexico.

At prices quoted in this catalogue, all nursery stock is delivered to the transportation Companies at Berlin,

Maryland, without extra charge for packing.

A discount of 5 per cent will be allowed for cash with order.

Harrisons Fruit Trees Are

Budded

Leading orchardists prefer budded
trees, as it is generally conceded that
they are sturdier, quicker growers
and far superior to grafted, hence
the reasor why all Harrisons’ fruit
trees are budded.

It has been pretty thoroughly
demonstrated that when young trees
are propagated by buds, they have
the same bearing characteristics as
the trees from which the budding
wood was cut. If this tree is a regu-
iar bearer of heavy crops of fine fruit, the young trees will
be the same. If that tree is a shy bearer, or produces
inferior fruit, the young trees have very little chance of
ever becoming profitable orchards. You can notice it in
your own orchard and neighborhood—one Baldwin or York
Imperial tree will bear twice as many as another standing
alongside of it, and better apples too. This condition ap-
plies as well to peaches, pears, plums, cherries and other
truits.

When, therefore, we say that our trees are budded from
bearing orchards, it means that they have come from trees
srowing in a successful orchard, and that they should
possess superior bearing habits throughout their life. Har-
risons’ apple, pear and cherry trees are budded on Whole
Root Seedlings, preducing the cleanest, largest and best
roots available and insuring long-lived trees. When you
order Harrisons’ trees henceforth, Know that you are get-
ting stock that has been propagated in our own nurseries,
“rom buds cut from selected bearing trees, budded on well-
crown whole root seedlings, and cared for in the best
manner while growing in our nurseries. Harrisons’ trees
are dependable at all times.

No matter where you buy trees, or what price you pay,
they are a distinct loss unless they make good in ycur or-

"hand picked"

chard. It’s mighty unfortunate that
many people forget this fact, and
innocently buy trees because they
think they are saving a few cents.

We claim, and can prove, that the
trees from our nurseries are larger
than most other trees; tests of more
than forty-nine years show that they
are as hardy and adaptable as trees
grown in any part of the country,
and nine times in ten they are
hardier; the wood is well ripened,
: firm and solid when the trees are

offered for saie; and it goes without
saying that they are clean and free
from disease.

There are a good many things that put Harrison-grown
trees in the front rank, but probably the most important
is the fact that our trees are budded from bearing orchards.
That means pedigreed trees, although we don’t give them
that title.

The bud-sticks we use are cut from trees that are known
to be large producers for several years—not first-year bear-
ers. We want to know that the parent tree is worthy of
having its characteristics transmitted to a second or third
generation.

Our Trees Are Free From Disease

and Insects

All stock is thoroughly inspected by the Maryland State
Entomologist and his corps each fall and spring just before
digging time, and one of his assistants, in the employ of
the State, is located at our nursery during the entire ship-
ping season. The trees are given a final thorough inspec-
tion just before they are packed ready for shipment. Every
precaution possible is taken for the protection of the cus-
tomer and his stock, and each carload, box or bale is tagged
with the State Entomologist’s Certificate of Health Inspec-
tion.

WHY WASTE TIME GROWING ORDINARY CROPS
PRU PAYS S100 to $500 per Acre

Little Orchards Make More Money Than Big

Mr. Farmer, if you are not mak-
ing money something is wrong.
Other farmers are making money—
BIG MONEY—and you can do
likewise if you will produce some-
thing the people want and are
willing 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. Youll make more
actual money from one acre of
fruit than you will from 20 to 40
acres of ordinary 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.

Get Your Share of This
Easy Money

There are no secrets involved in

making big money with fruits.
Plant our selected varieties 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 invested in our quality, time proven trees
will reap you several dollars of profits.

Plant 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 admira-
tion at the care with which we till each individual
block; weeds are kept down throughout the season.
Fruits and Ornamentals alike receive painstaking
attention.

But for the rest of our friends—those who have not
come—a little explanation of our methods of growing
stock and handling orders may be interesting.

We grow our stock and sell it direct to planters.
Thus we know the origin of all our stock and can
euarantee it perfectly free from disease.

We cultivate the trees more carefully in the nur-
sery 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.

Visit us when you will—and there is never a time
when you are not welcome—you will notice the clean,
well-worked condition of every row of trees in our
large nursery acreage.

A peach orchard is a profitable investment.

Farms

One of Harrisons’ famous

This constant mellowing of the soil and destroying
of weeds plays a vastly more important part in assur-
ing good trees—trees that produce in the orchard—
than many nurserymen, or growers either, realize.

When it comes to budding we spare no pains to get
everything exactly right and the varieties true to
name. Every bud—every inch of propagating 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 nurseries. We cannot afford to take
chances; neither can you, for it is too late to remedy
mistakes when your trees come into bearing.

Harrisons Service

“Harrison Service” goes further than selling good
trees and packing and shipping them right. We help
you first, if you wish, in Selecting 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.

Our great experimental fruiting orchards of peaches
on the home place at Berlin, and our extensive apple
plantations in West Virginia and Western Maryland
are under the personal observation of the Proprietors,
as are also our orchards of plums, pears, cherries and
other small fruits.

Better fruits can come only from better trees planted on ideal soils, correctly fertilized, properly pruned,
and well cultivated. A guarantee of these trees must be parent trees of proven character and performance

Picking scene in one of our large peach orchards.

Our friends are invited to visit us at any time—our
homes are always open—and see for themselves the
many features of interest of our Nurseries.

Berlin is easily reached from Baltimore, Washington
and Philadelphia and is only seven miles from Ocean
City, one of the most famous and most attractive
recreation points of the Maryland Peninsula.

Succeeding With Orchards of Apples
and Peaches

First of all let us make it perfectly clear that any
man with common sense can succeed with a com-
mercial orchard. There are no tricks in growing
fruit; just simply follow the rules of the game.

Selecting the varieties is the greatest problem to be
solved. If you are planting for home use, you want
sorts that are hardy and good bearers. If you are
planning a commercial orchard, you must insist on
these two points and another of equal importance—
ability to stand packing and shipping.

Experience and close observation have shown that
among the hundreds of varieties of apples and peaches
only a few are worth growing for market. Possibly
a dozen varieties of apples, and not more than six
kinds of peaches make up the list.

Some of these varieties will be adapted to your
section, and these should form the main orchard. In
the apple section of this catalogue you will find a
table showing the territory where the desirable apples
succeed; you can safely depend on this information.
Then, too, you should note the varieties that your
neighbors are growing, and find out whether the crops
are regular and profitable.

In the peach section we put special emphasis on
the varieties that are used in the great peach-grow-
ing sections of the United States. You can depend
on these for the main planting; then use other

We select
our buds for propagation from this type of bearing orchards

of the ground about the trees will be very beneficial ©
in promoting quick growth. It should be remem-
bered, however, that in applying coarse manure
about trees it should be kept a few inches from
the trunk, so that mice will not nest in the manure
and possibly girdle the trees. A piece of land where
cowpeas or other leguminous crops have been
grown previous to planting is an excellent location
for a young orchard.

CULTIVATION. Of course, the orchardists will
run the harrow and drag between the little trees.
But why not plant an intercrop between the rows,
and thus make the land bear a part of the expenses
for the first four or five years? When you cultivate
the crop in the early part of the season you are
giving the trees just what they need. Cultivation
may cease in time to sow a cover-crop and permit
the wood to ripen before cold weather comes.

MARKETING. Frankly, we believe that the mar-
keting of the crop of fruit is the essential point in
profit-making. You may grow good fruit, but if you
neglect the packing, or ship it to points where there
is a surplus, your profits surely will be reduced.

Fancy apples are most salable when packed in boxes
or bushel baskets in summer or early fall, although in
some cases it may be necessary to use barrels.

- The “Georgia carrier” makes the most practical
and useful container for peaches when they are to
be shipped a considerable distance. For nearby mar-
kets the Jersey half-bushel basket is sometimes used.
Many growers use the bushel basket but we prefer
the ‘Georgia carrier” as a container for our best fruit.

Be sure that only perfect fruit is packed—one im-
perfect specimen impairs the value of the basket or
barrel, and, if too many specimens are defective, the
value of the entire shipment will be lessened.

There is no question about success in fruit-growing
if you give it the care and attention a real business
deserves. We maintain a “Service Bureau” and at all
times are ready to advise you about varieties, care of
the trees, packing, and other problems, and will be
glad to give you the benefit of our experience.

General Planting Directions

CARE OF STOCK ON ARRIVAL. All stock should
be planted immediately on arrival but if not con-
venient to do so, open bundle and heel roots in the
ground, covering them thoroughly. _

PLANTING. Dig holes twice the size necessary to
take in all the roots; throw top soil to one side, and
use it for filling around the roots; tread the earth
hard after planting. Plant trees 2 inches deeper
than they stood in the nursery. Do not mix the soil
with water, the earth being sufficiently moist. Too
much water when planting is injurious. After plant-

ing, and during the summer, sufficient water should
be used to keep the earth moist.

PRUNING. The limbs of all fruit and ornamental
trees, shrubs, and roses should be cut back two-thirds
when planted. Remove all surplus branches from

varieties to suit local markets, as your fancy
may dictate.

Planting seems to be next in importance after
selecting the varieties. It is not necessary to
speak of this at length right here, for the sub-
ject will be fully covered in the following pages;
however, it is of the greatest importance that
the land be well drained. The land may be put
in good condition by plowing and harrowing in
advance of setting the trees, or same can be
done immediately after planting; at least that
part of the land adjacent to the trees should
be so treated.

At the time of planting trees, it is a good plan
to fill the hole about three-fourths full of earth
and then apply a pound of ground raw bone,
well distributed, before completing the filling
of the hole. Stable manure is one of the best
fertilizers. A liberal application of this on top

trees, leaving, say, three main stems as a basis
for head. Always prune to an outside bud, thus
insuring outward growth. Peach trees should
be pruned to a whip and a head established the
second year, either high or low, as _ preferred.
All roots should be pruned smoothly before
planting, cutting off the ends where bruised by
digging and shortening others. This is as impor-
tant aS pruning the top.

MULCHING. A most necessary factor in
successful planting. Cover a space around the
tree or shrub to a distance of 3 feet, using
coarse manure—lawn clippings, or grass, are
effective for this purpose if manure cannot be
secured. The mulching retains moisture, facili-
tates quick growth and retards the growth of
weeds. When straw or manure is left on the
ground all winter, clear a space of 15 inches
around the tree to avoid damage from mice.

DRAINAGE. Your time and money are wasted
if you plant on undrained soil. All hollows
should be avoided when selecting positions for
planting.

STAKING. Every ornamental tree should be
thoroughly staked and tied with some soft ma-
terial. Constant motion of the wind kills more newly
planted trees than any other cause. They cannot make
roots or fibers unless they are perfectly stationary, there-
fore every planter should give special care to this plant-
ing point; you will save your trees.

LABELS. Labels should be removed and some other
method adopted for recording varieties. ‘The wires
will cut and damage the limbs.

CULTIVATION. Hoe or cultivate frequently. Noth-
ing can thrive if the weeds are allowed to sap the
life of the soil.

A SUMMARY OF ESSENTIALS FOR SUCCESS
IS: Careful planting, good soil, mulching, cultivation,
drainage, and staking the first season, with the cut-
ting-back of branches and trimming ends of roots
when stock is planted.

How to Plant the Orchard

DISTANCES FOR PLANTING. Every orchardist
seems to have his own ideas about the distance apart
that his trees should stand. The best modern prac-
tice shows that 24x32 feet for apple trees gives
ample space for cultivating, spraying and picking.
On the 32-foot line a filler tree can be planted, with
the idea that the fillers are to be cut out before they
interfere with the
growth of the perma-
nent trees. For this
purpose use any of
the early-maturing
apples, Duchess,
Wealthy, Grimes, Mc-
Intosh Red and Yel-
low Transparent ap-
ples are desirable be-
cause of their up-
right growth and
early-fruiting habit.

Another common
distance is 40 by 40
feet. This has many
supporters among
practical orchard
men, but our experi-
ence in our own or-
chards is in favor of
the 24 by 32-ft. plan.

between the fruit trees, and many orchardists make
good money from a planting of tomatocs. The land
between the trees ought to be used—and can be—for at
least five years.

When you invest the $50 to $100 an acre that it
takes to plant an orchard and care for it five years,
you want to make it pay as much as possible and as
quickly as possible. It is a plain business proposition.
Because of this, we say plant two or three of the
best-paying varieties and then grow crops between
the rows. We advise every planter of an apple or-
chard to put peach trees between the apple trees as
fillers for the first eight or ten years, if you want
to grow peaches and the land is suited to peaches.
If the land is not adapted for peaches, plant apple
fillers and grow beans, peas, tomatoes, early potatoes
or other vegetables between the rows of trees for two
or three years. The use of fillers and intercrops will
make your orchard pay from the very beginning.
Early bearing of fruit trees depends somewhat on
treatment, but to a larger extent on the varieties
planted. McIntosh Red and Yellow Transparent,
especially, will bear abundantly when they are from
four to six years old.

Proper Planting Distances

To find the number of trees required to an acre,
see table above.

Apple—20 to 40 feet apart. We advise 24x 32 feet as
most satisfactory when peach fillers are used. (See
ideal arrangement above.)

Apricot—20 to 24 feet apart.

Cherry—(sour sorts) 18 to 24 feet apart; (sweet sorts)
20 to 27 feet apart.

Peach—16 to 20 feet apart. (Commercial peach
growers all over the country consider 20 feet apart
the best distance.)

Pear—Standard, 20 to 27 feet apart.

Plum—15 to 20 feet apart.

Quince—10 to 16 feet apart.

Pecans—35 to 40 feet apart.

PEACHES

Heavy bearing peach trees in Harrisons’ orchards
from which we procure Bud Selected strains

It hes been estimated that Peaches have a greater com-
mercial 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 dis-
tant 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.

Expert Peach-growers usually select a tract of land slop-
ing to the north, but this is not necessary as the trees will
be successful with any other exposure. 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.

Peaches Must Be Cultivated

All that has been said about planting trees in general and
about planting apple trees in particular applies to Peach-
tree planting. The soil must receive treatment which will
give the trees sufficient moisture, available plant-food, and
fine soil in which the roots may feed.

The new wood grown this year is the productive wood
next year; that is, Peaches bear fruit only on wood a year
old. It is necessary, therefore, to keep the trees in a thrifty
growing condition. Peaches will not produce profitable crops
unless cultivation is thorough.

Packing the Fruit

Packing-baskets and containers of many different styles
are used for shipping Peaches. To a great extent, the local
markets will determine the practical container; but, as a

general rule, the grower will find it best to adopt one of the
three standard methods. We believe that the regular six-
basKet Georgia carrier is the most practical way of packing
and shipping the fruit. In this package the fruit ships
well, arrives in good order, and is so attractive that it sells
for good prices even in a low market. Another advantage
is that the carriers can be packed in a standard refrigerator-
car without loss of space. In some sections of the country,
particularly in Western Maryland and in West Virginia, the
bushel basKet is used; we have no particular objections to
this package, except that it cannot be divided into small
units as can the Georgia carrier. Growers who depend
largely on a local or nearby market may be able to use the
bushel basket, but even for this purpose we believe that
the half-bushel “‘Delaware’’ basket is better for local use;
particularly is this true when the fruit is unusually large
or too small to pack to advantage in a Georgia carrier.

Quality Peach Trees

Harrisons’ peach trees are the best peach trees you can
plant in your orchard. Our superior Berlin climate and soil,
plus Harrisons’ methods of propagating, planting, budding,
cultivating, spraying, pruning, digging, grading and pack-
ing 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
reputation on the promise 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
earlier, 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

This year is the ideal time to plant peach trees; during
the last few years the number of peach trees planted has
declined considerably; 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 bottom prices
that we are selling peach trees for and plant an orchard
this year; it will pay you a big profit.

Peach Varieties That Are Winners

The peach varieties in which we specialize and recom-
mend are those that have distinguished themselves in our
own orchards and those of our fellow fruit growers in other
sections. For commercial planting we unhesitatingly recom-
mend the following varieties.

Very Early

Red Bird Cling has our highest recommendation in the
very early group. This peach grows to perfection in all
peach growing regions and brings remarkably high prices
on the market. In certain Southern districts Early Rose
is a prime favorite, makes huge profits in Georgia and other
Southern states.

Early

Hiley is easily the leader, it outranks all early
peaches and is being widely planted in the south.
Golden Jubilee is fast becoming an important com-
mercial variety. It is the earliest yellow freestone
peach of any commercial importance. Carman, Mamie
Ross and South Haven are also good varieties.

varieties mature. Elberta is by far the best money making
peach in all sections of the country. We offer the original
strain. Plant heavily to this variety. J. H. Hale is rapidly
approaching Elberta in popularity. Most profitable peach
when raised under exacting methods. Piant heavily to this
variety. We offer original strain trees. Belle of Georgia is
the leader of them all in quality, grows to perfection along
the Atlantic seaboard. No orchard selection is complete

without this remarkable peach.

Very Early Varieties

Alexander. White, medium to large, greenish white, with
deep red flesh. Vigorous and productive.

‘EARLY ROSE. White, cling, small to medium size, red
blush, sweet flavor. Tree is an average grower, but a very
prolific bearer. Georgia growers make astoundingly huge
profits from Early Rose, packing mostly in round half-
bushel baskets and six-gallon carriers; consequently this
variety is being heavily planted in Georgia.

Greensboro. White, freestone, extra large for such an early
peach, and one of the handsomest, being a rich, yellow-
ish white, with crimson cheek; flesh is white, exceedingly
tender and of fine quality. Being somewhat tender, it
requires extra care and quick shipments, preferable for
nearby markets.

Mayflower. White, cling, small size with red all over.
ited planting in Southern Georgia.

Red Bird Cling—Earliest large peach commanding

RED BIRD CLING. White, cling, extra large with a bright
red blush. The first peach of large size to ripen. Brings
extra high prices in all the leading markets. We highly
recommend the planting of this variety in localities
within trucking distances of the city markets.

Triumph. Yellow, semi-freestone, medium to large size,
dark red coloring, excellent shipper. Generally planted in
the colder sections of the North.

Early Varieties

CARMAN. Semi-freestone, medium size, being a remarkably
attractive and luscious Peach, oval-shaped, yellowish
white with bright red cheek; flesh creamy white, spicy
and good flavor. Tree is very hardy, strong grower and
the heaviest producer of the early varieties, also a sure
cropper. Carman stands shipping so well that it reaches
the market in prime condition which with its handsome
appearance causes it to bring satisfactory prices.

Cumberland. White, semi-freestone, new variety.

Eclipse. Yellow, freestone, new variety.

GOLDEN JUBILEE. Yellow, freestone, ripening four or five
days ahead of Carman. Very attractive peach of good size
and fair quality. It withstands shipment better than
most early varieties. This peach has attracted much at-
tention in New Jersey where it was originated by the
New Jersey Experiment Station. Where an early, yellow

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 high-
est 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 general
averaged priced peach. One of our customers who bought
several thousand Hiley trees from us a few years ago
picked from this erchard during 1929 over 80 cars of Hiley
peaches, being properly sprayed, thoroughly cultivated
and with ample fertilizer, this insuring only high-qual-
ity. machine graded, packed ring-faced in round half-
bushel baskets, United States Number One grade, Gov-
ernment Inspected, were shipped during early summer,
and the general average on all cars of Hiley being more
than $1,100 net cash per refrigerator car f. o. b. Fort Val-
ley, Georgia. This same customer, who made the largest
profit in his entire peach career, bought approximately
15,000 peach trees from us again in December, 1829,
consisting of a large percentage of Hiley. Many of our
varieties are propagated direct from the orginal strain,
and Hiley being no exception, as our late Mr. George
A. Harrison cut the buds from the orchard of Mr.
Eugene Hiley of Marshalliville, Georgia, the originator
of Hiley, then Known as Early Belle, and later as Hiley
Early Belle, now Known as Hiley. Our Messrs. Harri-
son have frequently visited Georgia and also cut buds
from trees being propagated direct from the original
strain of Hiley from the famous Hiley orchards of
Rumph Brothers of Marshallville, Georgia. Add Harri-
sons’ Strain of Hiley to your commercial plantings for
real profit.

MAMIE ROSS. White. freestone, large, covered with a
beautiful delicate carmine-red blush: firm. juicy. good
quality, excellent shipper, being the largest size early
peach, ranging about a third larger in size than Car-
man. Popular on the markets where Known, espe-
cially New York City, sells at a premium over any
other variety ripening at the same time. generally at
very satisfactory prices. Mamie Ross is being planted
in preference to Carman, ripens two or three days
later than Carman, but is far superior.

SOUTH HAVEN. Yellow, freestone, large, roundish, uni-
form size, deep yellow with a red cheek, delicious
flavor. Ripens about fifteen to eighteen days ahead

stone peach for the commercial orchards. Suggest you
plant South Haven in a limited way to compare with
other standard varieties.

Yellow St. John. Yellow, freestone, medium size, one of
the earliest of the Crawford types. Handsome and deli-
cious flavor. Tree is hardy, vigorous, heavy bearer. Gen-
erally grown in Michigan.

Early Midseason Varieties

CHAMPION. White, freestone, very large, creamy white
with red cheek, sweet. juicy; very high flavor, good
shipper when properly grown; its fault, if anything, is
that it is too tender. Reason why Champion has lost its
past commercial importance is that it will not carry sat-
isfactorily under refrigeration in cars for four to seven
Gays, but as a home garden or a roadside peach, it is one
of the best. Tree is hardy, large grower and productive.

CRAWFORD’S EARLY. Yellow, freestone, large size, juicy,
swect flavored, highly prized for canning. Tree strong
grower and prolific bearer. One of the old-time commer-
cial varieties, which has been extensively planted in years
past, but now mainly a home market fruit.

EARLY ELBERTA. Ripens about a week to ten days earlier
than Elberta; yellow, freestone, large, somewhat similar
to Elberta, but a trifle better flavor. Its earliness is its
most attractive feature and is being planted more or less
in commercial orchards. Excellent home orchard peach.

Fitzgerald. Yellow, freestone, large, good.

Mountain Rose. White, freestone, large, round, white with
much red in several shades, juicy, rich, tender, sweet.
Old-time favorite.

ROCHESTER. Yellow, freestone, large, covered with mot-
tled red blush; flesh yellow stained with red at pit, very
good quality, prolific bearer. One of the best early mid-
season yellow freestone peaches for nearby markets, and
highly desirable for canning. Our buds came direct from
the original tree from Mr. A. H. Heberle of Rochester,
New York, the originator. Popular in Western New York
and Michigan.

SLAPPEY. Yellow, freestone, medium to large size, beau-
tifully red colored, rich, juicy and extra good flavor. Good
commercial variety for nearby markets and one of the
best early yellow freestone peaches.

Midseason Varieties

Barnard. Yellow, freestone, juicy, rich, very productive.

BELLE OF GEORGIA (Belle). White, freestone, large size,
and most attractive in color and shape, with a light red
cheek; fiesh 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 attractive coloring with large size
and wonaerful carrying qualities and unusual pleasing
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. Al-

Ways 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,

ELBERTA
The World’s Greatest and Best Money-Making Peach

Yellow freestone. Midseason. Fruit is large to ex-
tra 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 attractive appearance and the uni-
form large size serve to sell it almost on sight.

The Best Commercial Variety

Tree is vigorous, very hardy, sturdy, thrives in wide-
ly different localities. Elberta is hardier in bud than
most varieties, 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 repu-
tation of being a peach without 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 can-
ning peach.

Harrisons’ 34-year-old Elberta commercial orchard
is the oldest in America. America’s oldest commercial
peach orchard of approximately two thousand trees
produced a large crop of United States Number One
grade Elberta last August, and this orchard has never
missed a heavy crop. Several thousand of our cus-
tomers in every peach-growing section of the Union
tell us that we have by far the finest, the best, the
most uniform and most profitable strain of Elbertas
in America. The buds from which our 34-year-old
Elberta orchard was propagated were cut in person
by our late Senator Orlando Harrison while visiting
the late Samuel H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia,
the originator of Elberta, from the original, and
brought in person by the Senator and budded in our
nurseries.

There are many different types of Elberta, and the

Harrisons’ original strain of J. H. Hale peaches for
gold profits

J. H. Hale—packed in different style packages.

J. H. HALE (Hale). Yellow, freestone, extra large,
round, beautiful red coloring, firm, and of the high-
est quelity and enticing flavor. Ripens about two
or three days prior to Elberta. Hales are too large
to properly pack in six-gallon carriers, but they
make the most attractive and commanding appear-
ance, 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 usually sell from 25c to 50c, and
sometimes 75c more per bushel on the largest whole-
sale markets. Our Hales are propagated direct from
the original strain, the buds being selected and cut
by our late Senator Orlando 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.

Kalamazoo. Yellow, freestone, golden yellow color
with pink blush, fine quality. Popular in Michigan.

Matthews Beauty. Yellow, freestone, good flavor.

Muir. Yellow, freestone, large, sweet, excellent for

lent flavor. Trees are exceedingly strong growers,

crops and generally considered as the heaviest, most

Midseason Late Varieties

BRACKETT. Ripens about a week later than Elberta,
and fruit similar to Elberta, but of better flavor.
Yellow, freestone, large size and highly flavored.
The best commercial or family peach to plant so as
to extend the period of ripening in which the EI-
berta is so popular. Brackett is a good shipper and
brings the highest prices, always selling at the same
high prices with Elberta and often from 25 cents to
50 cents per carrier or bushel higher, especially on
the New York City
and Boston markets.
Brackett will grow in
any section where
Elberta will thrive.
You will never regret
planting Brackett in

Dear Sirs: »

We received the trees you sent by express and we got
them planted. We never planted finer trees than those in
this shipment. We are covered with snow at this time and
the weather is too cold to handle trees. If the weather
warms up and the ground gets in condition for planting
we will likely have the rest of our trees shipped this fall.

IT PAYS TO PLANT
THE. BEST TREES

Apple growing pays hand-
some profits, but in order to
get these profits it is neces-
sary to start with the best
trees and the most desirable
varieties. In our nurseries
we have growing the finest
apple trees it is possible to
produce. All our trees are
propagated on whole root
stock insuring an unusually
large root system, which is
the base of plant growth.
Our apple trees are scientifi-
cally budded from selected
heavy bearing strain trees
of the variety desired. You
have probably noticed how
one tree of a variety yields
more fruit than the same
variety in the same orchards.
We have selected our mother
trees for propagation use
from among the best of
thousands of trees in our
own commercial orchards.
Today we believe that we
have more of the best
strains of apples in our
nursery than any other
nursery concern. Practically
ever since we started in the
nursery business we have
been on the outlook for the
better things.

Varieties to Plant

thing in planting an orchard
is the selection of varieties,

On your investment. In our test
orchards we have tried out prac-
tically every variety and find that
there are but few worthwhile va-
rieties to plant on a commercial
scale. However, for local conditions
there are a number of varieties
that give satisfactory results. But
in order to be safe we would recom-
mend 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 Yellow Trans-
parent and is by far the best. It
is adapted to most every locality.
Other desirable early apples are
Williams Early Red and Duchess.
In certain sections Summer Rambo
and Starr are giving highly desir-
able results.

Autumn Varieties

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 export

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
desirable winter varieties for certain sections are: Baldwin,
Cortland, Nero, Rhode Island Greening, Red Rome Beauty
and Gano.

Summer Varieties

BENONI. Orange-yellow—lively red, produc-

tive.

DUCHESS (Duchess of Oldenburg). Medium
size, red striped, flesh white, juicy and good
flavor. Unusually heavy bearer, very de-
pendable cropper. 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. Very early, not a good keeper;
fruit medium size, pale yellow, tender, juicy,
sub-acid. Fine for home orchard because of its
merit as a cooking and dessert fruit. Tree isa
vigorous grower and bears early and regularly.

Early McIntosh. Red, attractive, good size; flesh
white, fine, tender, juicy and fine flavor, being simi-
lar to McIntosh Red. Tree vigorous, hardy, healthy
and productive.

Liveland Raspberry. Large, waxy white, marbled with
crimson, flesh white stained with red, tender, poor
quality. Tree vigorous, early bearer.

Red Astrachan. Medium size, yellow with dark red
patches; flesh decidedly acid and juicy; excellent
for cooking, satisfactory for home plantings, but on
account of its poor shipping qualities and irregular
bearing not advisable for commercial orchards.

Williams Early Red—World's best red summer variety

Duchess of Oldenburg—Red strain—young prolific bearer,

excellent filler variety

Tree very hardy, vigorous and a very heavy bearer
every other year.

Red June (Carolina Red June). Medium size, con-
ical, dark red, juicy, fairly good flavor, very pro-
ductive.

Starr. Large, attractive, with bright yellowish,
smooth skin; sometimes marked with a faint blush
and numerous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very
tender, crisp, juicy, aromatic and of extra fine
quality, bringing highest prices. Recommended to
those with nearby markets, but a poor long dis-
tance shipper. Popular in Southern New Jersey.

Sweet Bough. Large, pale yellow; tender, sweet.

Summer Rambo. Large, yellowish green, splashed
with red, crisp and tender. Very good.

WILLIAMS EARLY RED. Medium to large size,
bright, rich red; flesh is crisp, tender, juicy and
sub-acid; good quality. Its bright, attractive red
coloring, with satisfactory size and firmness,
makes the Williams Early Red the most popular
summer variety grown, and always in strong
demand with exceedingly high prices. It is ready
for market just about the time people are grow-
ing hungry for new apples and are willing to
pay a handsome premium for real fruit. Fine
for a filler or permanent tree, being hardy, and
can be successfully grown in New England States
and Canada. All commercial orchards should
include Williams Early Red.

Good for cooking, extra vigorous tree, comes
into bearing rather early and bears profuse
crops regularly. Grown most extensively in
California and commands good prices.

GRIMES GOLDEN (Grimes). Medium sized, gol-

delicious, possibly the best flavored apple
known, and a good Keeper. No better variety
exists for eating raw or for cooking. Tree is
very hardy and one of the heaviest bearers

bearing very early. Grimes Golden is the best
pollenizer known, especially for Stayman Wine-
sap, Delicious, Paragon or Mammoth Black
Twig, Winesap, McIntosh and others. Be sure
to include Grimes Golden in your -orchard.
When all factors are considered, Grimes Golden
is the best, highest flavored, longest keeper and
most profitable yellow apple grown.

JONATHAN. Medium to large; brilliant red,
juicy, fine grained, tender, mild, sub-acid, and
very highly flavored. Late keeper and an excel-
lent shipper. Tres long lived but comes into

YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Medium to large; cream and
yellow, tender, juicy, sub-acid, fragrant, good flavor.
Tree is very hardy, healthy, somewhat of a dwarf
grower, bears very young, fine as a filler, and one of
the few varieties that grow and bear bumper crops in
Canada as well as Georgia. Yellow Transparent is the
first commercial apple on the markets, and ripens
when the demand for summer apples is extra strong;
consequently it always brings the best prices.

Autumn Varieties

a big producer. Generally planted in New York.

Lobo. This variety has come into prominence in a
number of fruit districts due to the fact that it is
very highly colored and has many McIntosh char-
acteristics. While not equal to McIntosh in qual-
ity, the quality is good. The season of Lobo begins
a little earlier than McIntosh, but it keeps about

which has received far too little attention

the past few years Pears have been bringing good
prices. If growers would specialize in this fruit they
would be well repaid for their efforts as high prices
are always ,obtainable for choice pears. This year we
have a large supply of first-class trees in all the lead-
ing varieties, in fact these trees are among the finest
We ever grew. All our pear trees are budded on whole

Varieties to Plant

Bartlett is by far the best pear grown for home and
commercial orchards, it is large and of a highly
delicious flavor. In planting your orchard be sure to
plant heavily to Bartlett. Other desirable varieties for
planting are Clapps, Kieffer and SeckKel.

Summer Pears

An orchard of Bartlett pears is a source of abundant
income. The trees are sturdy, and bear heavy loads
of delicious fruit Which is easily sold.

BARTEETS PEAR. For home, for canning, for market,
the best.

A golden-colored Pear, with a red cheek on most
specimens. Bartlett mellows and is excellent for eat-
ing very early in the fall, yet when picked a week
before it is ripe, and properly stored, will keep till
late. Flavor delicious and musky; flesh buttery, rich
and juicy. One of the finest Pears that grows to eat
raw. A mingling of the flavor of Bartlett Pear and
quince gives about the finest taste of any food this
world’s folks have. Bartlett trees bear early, produce
enormous crops, and are not nearly so subject to dam-
age by insects and disease as some other sorts. The
trees do especially well with high culture.

Bartlett Pears always sell on the markets even when
other sorts are not in great demand. The fruit is so
handsome and appealing that it pays to pack it in fancy
containers. Bushels or bushel boxes are best adapted. The
fruit ought to be carefully sorted and graded, wrapped in
tissue paper. and arranged in the container practically the
same way that you pack apples. Pears are sometimes
packed in peach carriers, and sell to good advantage. Plain
re can be sold without wrapping, in small baskets or

Oxes.

One or two Bartlett Pear trees in the city yard will

furnish a considerable amount of fruit; a half dozen will
supply the family with fresh fruit and a surplus for
preserving.
Clapp’s Favorite (Clapp). Very large, long, lemon-yellow
With brown dots; richly fushed with russet-red on sunny
side; fine texture, melting, buttery, juicy, with a rich,
sweet, delicate, vinous flavor. Thrives where other vari-
eties fail. Tree hardy and very productive.

Autumn Pears

Anjou (Buerre d’Anjou). Being one of the best Known,
most popular and profitable fall pears. Large, green in
color, somewhat yellow when ripe, buttery, melting, rich
vinous, good fiavor. Tree vigorous, hardy, prolific bearer.

Duchess (Duchess d’Angouleme). Very large, dull greenish
yellow, spotted russet, fiesh white, rich, buttery, juicy;
excellent flavor. Tree somewhat dwarf, but a most de-
pendable bearer. Profitable commercial pear.

KIEFFER. Fruit large to very large; skin yellow, with light
vermillion cheek. Flesh brittle, very juicy. Most popular
canning pear. Keeps well.

Garber. Extra large, even larger than Kieffer; poor flavor,
but excellent for canning. Tree is hardy, strong grower;
bears at an early age, producing large crops. Garber is a
good pollenizer for Kieffer as well as other varieties.

SECKEL. A beautiful and delicious little pear, Known
everywhere and an old-time favorite; skin yellowish brown
with deep brownish red cheek; flesh very fine grained,
sweet; one of the richest and highest favored pears grown.
Tree rather dwarf, slow, but stout and erect, bears prolific
crops.

CHERRIES

For Home or Market

Harrisons’ cherry trees are hardy, vigorous and bear great crops.
Cherry trees should be largely planted.

There is a world of difference in the growth and habits of sweet and
sour Cherry trees. In general, it can be said that the sweet do best on
high land and in mountainous districts, while the sour reach their great-
est perfection down lower, and on lighter soil. If there is a choice, select
a light loam, gravel or similar soil, although Cherries will thrive in any
place that is not damp. They will not succeed to any extent in a seepy
place that is not drained.

The less Cherry trees are pruned, the better for them. It is necessary
to cut back the trees at the start, and to shape the head while it is
growing. Cut out limbs that cross each other, let in the sunlight, and
remove dead limbs. That is about all that will be needed. Fruit is borne
only on wood that is two or three years old. As for marketing, only a
few words are to be said, yet these are of great importance. Remove all
imperfect Cherries, then carefully pack the perfect ones. On almost any
city market you can get splendid prices for good cherries.

Sour Cherries

A good cherry orchard is a very profitable investment, on account of
the rapidly increasing demand for fruit juices, there is a great outlook
for the cherry grower. Cherries are easy to grow and are very heavy
annual bearers. We have a good supply of the leading varieties and
they are priced in the reach of every grower.

always commanding the highest market prices, either on the city markets or from

QUINCES

The Quince is of late attracting a great deal of attention as a market fruit. It is
hardy and compact in growth and requires but little space. It is productive if handled
properly and gives regular crops, coming into bearing in about two or three years
and continues productive, if well managed, for forty years or more. The fruit is
much sought after for canning, preserving and for jeilies. It gives a delicious flavor

PLUMS

Plums are easy to grow, few people realize how easy it is to grow
luscious, edible plums. They thrive and bear readily on most any
land that is not too wet. Below is a selected list of varieties
chosen for their size, appearance and flavor of their fruit, as well
as the hardiness and strong growing characteristics of the trees.

We have some eyceptionally good plum trees to offer this year,
all budded on whole root seedlings. With our low prices it will pay
you to set out a few.

ABUNDANCE. Early, large, lemon-yellow, hardy, productive.

Bradshaw. Midseason, large, dark violet-red, juicy, excellent flavor,
desirable for canning.

BURBANK. Midseason, large cherry-red, high quality, very produc-
tive. Popular commercial variety.

German Prune. Late, large, dark purple, sweet. Good for canning

and drying.

Italian Prune (Fellenberg). Late, medium size, dark purple, de-

licious. Fine for drying.

RED JUNE. Very early, medium size, deep vermillion-red, good.

SHROPSHIRE DAMSON. Late, medium size, dark purple, very pro-
ductive. The best for preserving. The popular old-fashioned
Damson variety.

Wickson. Late, very large, deep maroon red covered with white
bloom, flesh firm, meaty, yellow, rich, aromatic, cling.

APRICOTS

The apricot is one of the most delightfully luscious fruits grown,
when eaten fully ripe and fresh from the tree. It is remarkable
that such a rich and beautiful, golden, sweet fruit is not planted
more, especially since it ripens just after the early cherries and
before the best early peaches. Apricots succeed in many localities
and will stand more winter cold than peaches. They usually begin
to bear two years after planting. Below is a select list of varieties
offered at the lowest prices in years.

NECTARINES

There is a mistaken idea that the nectarine is a
cross between the peach and something else, while
it is really nothing more or less than a smooth
skinned peach. 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 in-

HARRISONS’ RASPBERRIES

Quick Profits —

If you are looking for quick profits and enjoyable work for
your spare time, by all means put out a patch of Red and Black
Raspberries. The growing cost is slight and they will succeed
on most any soil. As far as their eating qualities are concerned,
they stand supreme, sweet palatable fruit of the very finest
flavors. Served fresh they make the finest kind of dessert, while
their canning and preserving qualities are unexcelled.

Raspberries Are Easy to Grow

Raspberries will thrive and produce abundantly on any well
drained soil. Prepare the soil same as you would for your
garden or farm crops. For field culture Black Raspberries
should be set 4 feet apart in the row with the rows seven feet
apart. This requires about 1,500 plants per acre. Red rasp-
berries should be planted closer, they should be spaced about
3 feet apart in the row and the rows 7 feet apart. This re-
quires about 2,000 plants per acre. For garden culture both
types of raspberries can be planted closer. In planting you
may plow a furrow or dig the holes 6 inches square and 6 inches
deep. Place the plant in hole or furrow, spread the roots, then
fill the hole and press firmly against the roots. With black
raspberries be careful not to break off the new sprouts. After
planting cut off the old stalk an inch or two above the ground.

With Red Raspberries during the following spring while the
plants are still dormant cut back the canes to a height of 3
feet and branches to a length of 6 or 8 inches. When the
fruiting season is over remove all old fruiting canes and burn
them. This will destroy insects and give the new wood a better
chance. Confine the growth of the plant to 6 or 7 good strong
canes to each hill, cutting off all other shoots or suckers as fast
as they appear. ;

After the new growth on Black Raspberries reaches a height
of two feet, pinch off the tip. This will cause them to throw
out branches and grow upright. The following spring while
still dormant, trim back the branches to a length of 8 to 10
inches. When through fruiting cut out and burn old fruiting
canes.

Frequent shallow cultivation and hoeing during the spring,
early summer and even during the fruiting season will aid
greatly in conserving moisture and increasing the yield.

List of Selected Heavy Yielding Varieties
Black Raspberries

CUMBERLAND. Midseason to late. This is the most popular
Blackcap at the present time, because of its great size, firm-
ness, and productiveness. The fruit is the largest of the
Raspberry family, and is of such handsome appearance that
it is sure to bring the top prices on the market. i

Cumberland has never been known to fail to produce a big
crop every year. This variety is perfectly hardy and tre-
mendously productive, the bushes are vigorous, upright and
healthy. Berries are a glossy black in color, not equalled_by
any other variety in quality, flavor and appearance. It’s
good to eat and good to sell.

Plum Farmer. This variety is very popular with many growers
on account of its earliness of ripening. Plum Farmer has the

ability to mature its
customary big yield
in a,very short time,
generally 15 to 20
days. The plants are
healthy, canes strong
growing. Berries are
produced in clusters
and are large, well
colored and of first
quality. The | fruit
ripens a week earlier
than Cumberland.

Red Raspberries

CUTHBERT. An old
and reliable variety
that has proven the
main money-maker
for Raspberry grow-
ers in many sections
of the country for
years. The fruit is
large, well colored, of
superb flavor and
quality. We can
recommend Cuthbert
as an all-around
berry either for home
use, canning, local
market or shipping.
The canes are per-
fectly 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 variety 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 variety originated at the
Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm and is being grown
extensively in raspberry producing regions. The sensational

aN

Cumberland Raspberries—Leading black variety

yields of this variety have attracted the attention of growers
everywhere, and everyone who has given it a trial are prais-
ing the many unusual features they have found in Latham.
After thoroughly testing Latham we find it a remarkable
variety in every respect and you will be both delighted and
surprised after giving it a trial.

Latham is a tall, vigorous grower, the canes are extra 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. Covers a longer fruiting season than any other
Raspberry. The berries are beauties and will cause a sensation
wherever they are shown. Many of them are over an inch
in diameter and they hold this large size to the end of the
season. Color a dark rich red, quality of the best with
full raspberry flavor.

St. Regis. This variety is by far the best fall bearing type.
There is a big demand for this fine fruit in the late summer
and fall, and many growers make exceptionally large profits
when grown for markets. However, if you do not grow them
for market by all means plant a few bushes for home use
and enjoy this delicious fruit all summer and fall. St. Regis
produces a big crop of fruit during the regular season and
then continues bearing all summer and fall on the new canes.

HARRISONS’ CHOICE ASPARAGUS

Being the first vegetable to come in the spring it always brings a high price on the
markets. Stocks being delicious and very healthful, every garden should have a gen-
erous supply and when properly 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 Asparagus 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—Profitable

Growers everywhere are discarding all other varieties in favor of the famous Mary
Washington, because it is earlier, the stalks are larger, more tender and more pro-
ductive than any other variety and more highly immune to rust, which means that
one planting will produce profitable crops for many years.

Large—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 because when it is
once eaten, no other variety will give satisfaction. The stalks are purplish green
color, large, tender and juicy. A very rapid grower which means many cuttings.

How To Grow Asparagus

Asparagus is easy to grow and should be in every garden because it thrives every-
where. 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 trench is full. For garden cul-
ture Asparagus may be planted eighteen inches apart each way, but for field cul-
ture plant two feet apart in the row with the rows four feet apart. Cultivate and

HOE SNEED Ni Plant Heavy Two Year Roots

DEWBERRIES

LUCRETIA—Long, mammoth blackberries, recognized by horticulturists everywhere
as the leading variety. Each plump berry is a morsel of delight. Incomparably
better in every way than any blackberry you ever have seen or tasted. Lucretia is
a very early bearer, ripening from a week to ten days before even the earliest
blackberries. This, together with the fact that they are unquestionably the finest
looking berry of their kind and of such big uniform size makes them top-notchers
on price in any market. For real profits be sure to plant Lucretia. For home and
commercial growing Lucretia is the only variety of importance.

Planting Instructions

These are a sort of blackberry, but the vines are not self-supporting, as are the
blackberries. The usual method of planting is as follows: They are set 3 feet in
the row, rows 6 feet apart. Short posts are set about every fifth vine and a wire
stretched about 3 feet from the ground. Each spring all the strong vines are tied
to the wire, and the ends that are too long are cut off about 10 inches above the
wire. Some growers cover their patches with straw in the fall and in the spring
pull the vines through and trim them about 24 inches long, allowing them to creep
on the ground. Either method is satisfactory.

HARRISONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS
Big Yields—Fancy Fruit—Large Profits

A field of Blakemore Strawberry plants

Plant Harrisons’ Quality Strawberry Plants for profit and pleasure. Since 1884 we
have experimented with strawberries, seeking the perfect development of such varie-
ties 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 authorities as standard. The rich, fer-
tile soil that is unequalled anywhere and a mild winter climate tempered by the
Atlantic Ocean, give our plants a vigorous growth and sturdy root systems, which
assures their uninterrupted growth after transplanting.

Strawberries 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, however, that the
growers who plant our selected varieties and care for them in an up-to-date manner
will make a good profit. He will not likely make a $1,000.00 a year per acre aver-
age, 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 general farm crops.

Selection of Varieties

For home use practically all the varieties we catalogue will give exceptionally fine
results, but for commercial use other things are to be considered.

Early—Premier ranks as the best early berry grown and is the outstanding profit
maker. Blakemore is making good and is a very desirable berry for long distance
shipments. i : c

Midseason—Big Joe is still the best midseason variety of strawberry grown, while

not as universally popular as Premier, it still
makes its growers money.

Late—Chesapeake when grown in soil that suits
it is the outstanding profit maker of all varie-
ties grown. It is equally as good for home use.
Lupton is another berry that is making a good
reputation with market growers.

Big Joe—Always popular and dependable

Everbearing—Mastodon is by far the best variety of ever-
bearing strawberry grown, in fact it is the only ever-
bearer worthy of planting for profit. Excellent for Home
Gardens also.

How to Grow Strawberries

Most any kind of soil that will grow field crops will
grow good strawberries, but a rich sandy loam is best.
They require an abundance of moisture and do particu-
larly good on soils that are abundant in organic matter.
The soil should be plowed or spaded to a depth of 6 to 8
inches and well harrowed and dragged until it is well pul-
verized and level. The best time to plant strawberries is
during the spring just as soon as the ground can be
worked into good condition. For commercial growing
strawberries should be planted about 14 to 18 inches apart
in the row, with rows about 3% to 4 feet apart. This
requires about 8,000 plants to set an acre. For garden cul-
ture the rows can be made closer and for hill culture they
should be planted about 24 inches apart each way. In
_ planting the root should be spread out and the crown or
bud of the plants should just be at the surface of the
ground. Just as soon as the plant is planted the soil
should be pressed firmly against the roots and make sure
there are no roots exposed next to the crown. Cultivation

Chesapeake—Greatest money maker for a late variety

should be continuous throughout the growing season. A little soil should
be thrown on the runner plants to help them get rooted. The first sea-
son on all varieties except Mastodon the fruit buds should be picked off
so as to give strength to the runners. A light layer of well rotted stable
manure put on the plants after they are planted and also during the
winter time will benefit plant and fruit production the following year.

LIST OF SELECTED AND TESTED STRAWBERRIES
Early Strawberries

BLAKEMORE. The new early shipping berry that was developed by the
United States Department of Agriculture. It has been thoroughly
tested in nearly all the strawberry producing centers and is rated as
the best new berry in many years. Blakemore is a scientific cross
between 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 distant from the markets.

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 quality, moderately productive berry.

MISSIONARY. Medium size, of good color and fine flavor. It is ex-
tensively grown in the South because of fine appearance and good
Keeping quality. A good commercial or home berry:

PREMIER (or Howard 17). The most perfect early berry grown today.
It is in a class by itself, 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 rampant plant maker. The above
characteristics, together with its good keeping qualities, make it ideally
adapted for either commercial plantings 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. It is a worthy companion
for Premier, the best early berry and Chesapeake the best late. Big
Joe is a heavy producer of brilliant red berries of extra fine fiavor and
firm enough to withstand long shipments. The plants are good
growers and heavy yielders. This variety succeeds 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. Clean, healthy, hardy growing plants, does well on most soils.
Fruit large, deep red, excellent quality for home use or market.

CHESAPEAKE. The favorite late berry with the majority of growers.
It is a good producer of very large berries of good quality that with-
stand shipments to distant markets. All growers seem to make money
on this variety when grown under conditions suitable for it, on most
any highly manured soil it will grow successfully. We believe you
cannot go wrong by planting this one, its large crops of fancy berries
will bring the highest prices on the markets. Equally as good for
home use.

GANDY. The favorite late berry in many localities. Large size and
handsome appearance make it command highest prices on the market.
Not quite as productive as some of the other berries, but its appear-
ance and quality offset this. Good for either home use or commercial
plantings.

LUPTON. A good late variety, large, handsome, attractive berry com-
manding good prices on the markets. It is similar to Chesapeake in
many ways and is not quite so particular about its soil requirements.
A favorite in many localities.

WM. BELT. An extra good quality late berry for home use or market.
Its flavor is extraordinarily good, the berries are medium to large
size, ideal for home use.

Everbearing Strawberries

MASTODON. The best everbearing strawberry known. It produces a
wonderful crop of full-sized berries the first autumn after planting
and follows it up with another heavy crop the next summer and fall.
With this variety you harvest three big crops in the same time that
is used to secure one crop from the ordinary strawberries. Mastodon is
a good grower and a big producer of big, bright, red berries. The
ideal berry for home use.

NOTE—All the varieties of strawberries which we offer are seif-fruit-
ful and do not require other varieties to pollinate them.

The Best Home Fruit

Grapes are one of the most productive fruits we have. They
can be grown in small spaces and trained up over buildings or
fences. They are easy to grow and require very little attention
except pruning. By making your selection from the varie-
ties which we offer you can grow extra select grapes fer the
home. No home should be without a few varieties.

How to Plant and Care for Grapes

Grapes should be planted deeply from 6 to 8 feet apart.
After planting, all the top growth should be removed except
two or three of the buds which show above the ground. The
secret of good grape production is in the annual pruning.
In trimming grapes the best method to follow is to keep them
trained on two wires run between posts, the first wire about
2% to 3 feet from the ground, the second 5 to 6 feet from
the ground. The main shoot or stock should run up to the
top wire with two branches growing out from the central
stock on both vines, one in each direction. Grape vines
bear on the previous year’s growth and it is necessary to
keep them pruned vigorously. We grow only the varieties
that have been proven the best in commercial vineyards
and home gardens.

EVERGREENS, SHRUBS, TREES, ROSES, ETC.
For the Garden Beautiful

Every home that is built needs a
finishing touch in the way of flowers,
shrubs or trees. These give the final
touch to the outside appearance of the
grounds surrounding the home.

Nursery Stock a Good

Investment

Is there any other thing about your
home that grows in value, interest and
beauty each succeeding year like trees
and plants? Most other things are
wearing out with use and age and con-
stantly depreciating in value. That is
why we say our nursery stock is a per-
manent and accumulative investment.
What is that shade tree that cost you
two or three dollars a few years ago
now worth to your place? If you are
contemplating a planting, not for years
have you had such an unusual oppor-
tunity to secure plants of Harrisons’
quality at such low prices.

You Will Enjoy Creating An
Outdoor Living Room

The vogue for beauty, outside the
home, as well as within, is upon us—
and this new vogue finds its most
charming expression in the modern
outdoor living room.

This new fashion results from more
than the public’s consciousness of
“back-yard’’ barrenness. It is the home
owner’s own solution to the problem
of how to get the most value out of
his property and the most enjoyment out of living. The
charm of evergreens, flowering plants and trees, tastefully
arranged to create a veritable living room outdoors is irre-
sistible; and the prospect of planting a place outdoors which
is attractive, livable and comfortable—where the whole
family can find countless hours of enjoyable pleasure.

Harrisons’ Superior Ornamentals

Nowhere in the country are the lands more fertile or pro-
ductive than on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where ideal
climatic conditions
and location near
the Atlantic Ocean
insure hardiness,
strong root develop-
ment, so necessary
for transplanting to
new locations.

The varieties pic-
tured and described
in this book are the
best and most satis-
factory of all orna-
mentals. They were
selected after many
years of experience
and tests by our ex-
perts from among
hundreds of similar
varieties. We are
offering our custom-
ers only varieties
of proven merit and
hardiness. Our trees
and plants are all

nounced free from

Boxwood

Harrison-Grown Boxwood

Possibly no other evergreen shrub has been so much used for
marking the boundaries of formal gardens, to outline flower beds,
for low hedges, and for other ornamental purposes. The plants will
adapt themselves to almost any situation and climate, and by ju-
dicious pruning can be trained to many forms. We believe that our
stock of boxwood this year is considerably above the average, being
possibly the highest quality available throughout the Union. The
plants have been properly cultivated and transplanted, and are
therefore in just the condition to grow rapidly when transplanted
to your grounds. We are one of America’s largest growers of box-
wood. Boxwood will be properly dug, balled and burlapped, except
customer advising otherwise.

Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens). Handsome shrub of dense, com-
pact growth. Leaves evergreen, quite small, deep glossy green.
An ideal plant, more extensively used for shaping in various forms
than possibly any other evergreen.

TREES FOR SHADE AND BEAUTY

To appreciate the
value of trees, one
has only to compare
the comfort and
beauty of suburban
avenues on hot sum-
mer days, with the
barrenness and glare
of downtown city
streets. For the
street or as a Speci-
men planted in the
home grounds they
perform a real serv-
ice to man in the
beauty they furnish,
and protect him
from the rays of the
summer sun.

Shade Trees
Our Specialty

We have undoubt-
edly more Shade
Trees in salacte
sizes, growing in
our nursery now,
than any other nur-
sery in the country.
All our specimen
trees are carefully
selected before dig-
ging, and can be
shipped either by
freight or express to
any destination. :

The shade trees we supply are grown here at Berlin, the
same as our fruit trees, and will live and grow anywhere,
North or South, under any fair chances. They receive the
best of care in cultivation and pruning; they are fine speci-
mens; their roots are extra good; they are graded liberally,
which means that you get good, big trees for your money.
You can beautify your home grounds with Harrisons’ Shade

trees without great expense, and the sooner you begin the
pooner you will enjoy the pleasure of owning a beautiful

For quantities greater than 50 trees write for special
prices.

(Note: Shade trees cannot be shipped by Parcel Post.)

MAPLES

NORWAY MAPLE (Acer platanoides). 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.

Well developed shade trees along an Avenue

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 land-
scape planting there are no other trees in its class. Nor-
way Maples are at home in the mountains, but will
thrive at any elevation, and in nearly any soil to be found
in this country.

Norway Maple—The most popular shade tree

Silver Maple

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 some-
times—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.

FLOWERING

Any house without its setting of shrubbery or flowers
is unattractive, and any house, no matter how unat-
tractive it may be, can be made attractive and pleasing
with a proper planting. Many people forego the pleas-
ure of a beautiful exterior because it is so expensive
that they cannot afford the layout. This year probably
offers the best opportunity to purchase shrubs, at low
prices. Make your selection from the varieties offered
in this catalog, the cost of which is so little in com-
parison to the floral beauty and satisfaction you will
enjoy.

All our shrubs are strong field specimens, and grown
under the ideal conditions on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland.

HEDGE PLANTS
Harrison-Grown Hedge Plants for Utility and Beauty

Many people do not realize the value of an attractive
hedge and how it will increase the worth of their
grounds. A hedge of any of the selected plants listed
here will add dollars to the value of your home and
make its appearance more charming.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET

This 1s 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 all kinds, in
parks and cemeteries, along roads and paths, on factory
grounds, and on newly subdivided areas near towns,
nothing else can be used in its place, and in this place
it is indispensable. California Privet is known as Ligus-
trum ovalifolium by botanists. It comes from Japan and
China, and is able to stand a temperature of zero with-
out any damage. Ten or fifteen degrees below zero do
not damage it much, but twenty or thirty below will kill
the wood to the ground. This is not so serious as it
might be, because the roots throw up a strong growth
by the next August.

Privet produces wood faster than any other shrub or
tree. When you want a hedge that is thick right down
to the ground, you must set the plants close together,
anywhere from 6 to 18 inches apart. It is sometimes
best to set in a double row, the plants ‘‘staggered” a
foot apart in each line. Some people use even a triple
row. The lines should be about 8 inches apart. This is
the way to make the finest hedges, especially when you
want them a couple of feet wide and over 3 feet high. A
single row of plants will make a beautiful hedge, but it
will not be so thick at the bottom, and will require care-
ful trimming to make it as nice. When possible plow or dig a
trench 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep. Don’t throw the dirt out;
just mix it thoroughly. A horse and harrow or cultivator are
the best tools. When you have a fine bed of soil, plow a trench
in the middle, and set the plants in dry soil. The roots should
_be puddled’’ as soon as you unpack them, and if you do not
plant at once, they should be coated with mud again just before
you plant. Water if you
can, after planting. A
good heavy rain will do
this for you. Mulch 6
inches deep with cut-
grass or buckwheat hulls
right aiter planting and
watering. You can water
twice a week and fertilize
half a dozen times a sea-
son with good results.
Cut back to within 3
inches of the ground the
first season, then each
April cut back again to
within 6 inches of the
previous year’s height.
This harsh treatment
will force a thick, leafy
rowth of twigs and
ranches right from the
ground up. By setting
the plants 6 inches
deeper than they were in
the nursery each one will
have a half a dozen or
more stems coming out of
the ground, and this will
help greatly in keeping
the hedge thick at the
bottom.

JAPANESE BARBERRY
(Berberis thunbergi)

If you want a hedge that will give
your grounds a really natural effect,
plant Japanese Barberry. If allowed
to grow without pruning or training
in any way, it will form a compact
mass so dense that even a cat can’t
get through it.

For a low hedge Japanese Barberry
stands at the head of the list. The
leaves are small, light green, and
toward fall turn to various colors
Which produce a very pleasing aspect.
In fall this handsome plant bears a
profusion of bright red berries which
remain through the winter. This Bar-
berry 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. Bar-
berry is absolutely 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 advantage, whether you trim
it or permit it to grow as nature in-
tended. On account of the dense
and horizontal-growing branches, the
plants make a thick hedge.

Hedge of Red Leaved Japanese Barberry

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 de-
pended on for colors. Red Leaved Barberry is an exact
reproduction of the Japanese variety in every way—habit,
leaf-formation and fruiting, but— whereas the original is
a deep green from spring until fall, this variety starts of
in its first foliage a warm bronzy red; the heat of summer
intensifying its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints
to its richness. ' The abundant scarlet berries persist
throughout the winter along the spiny twigs. A sunny
exposure is necessary to bring out and retain its full red

color.

HARDY FIELD-GROWN ROSES

In all collections of flowering and ornamental shrubs,
Roses occupy first place, for among the flowering shrubs
that make for beauty and grace there is none that can
compare with the Rose. The wide range of color, shape
and size of the blooms and the diversity and character
of the foliage give it a wider range for decoration than
any other single group of plants. When added to these
qualifications are ease of culture, quick and ample re-
sponse in blossoms, it is not to be wondered at that the
Rose has been aptly termed the ‘‘Queen of Flowers.”’

How to Plant
Roses

Roses thrive best in a med-
ium light, clay soil. Before
planting prepare the soil by
spading and thoroughly work-
ing over to a depth of about
18 inches, fill in well-rotted
stable manure while spading
and work it carefully into the
soil. After the plants are
set, for best results cut all
branches back to within 3 or
4 inches of the top of the
ground. The new growth com-
ing out will make a much
nicer head than if the plants
were not pruned, and the
bushes will bloom all the

better. Red Radiance—Best Red
