Growers with a vision to the future should capitalize now by planting new orchards. You get the biggest dollar's worth from Harrisons’, both in quality and price. FACTS WORTH READING ABOUT ALIVE HEALTHY FRUIT-BEARING TREES DEPEND ON THE HEREDITY OF YOUR TREES In the summer and early fall of each year, while fruit was on the trees, the utmost care was exercised in selecting the new “budding stock’’ from extra, vigorous, bearing trees showing superior strains with extra heavy bearing habits for the young Harrison fruit trees developing in the nursery. YOU PAY NO MORE FOR HARRISONS’ “BUD-SELECTED” TREES The “‘oud-selecticn’’ method to propagate is very expensive—but what- ever the expense they are the trees that give satisfaction. : Remember the inborn inheritance is the final quality built into Harrisons’ trees, The young fruit trees are first generation from bearing. FINEST QUALITY FRUIT TREES ARE PROPAGATED FROM BEARING ORCHARDS If fruit trees are continuously propagated from the nursery rows, as practiced now by a large percentage of nurserymen, because it is cheaper, fruit trees begin to degenerate—and when the original was a poor type, the nurseryman, without knowing it, continues to reproduce poor, unde- sirable, small type fruit. Incidentally, in case there was a mixture in the nursery rows, how could a nurseryman propagate true-to-name trees successfully, Nothing can compare with our scientific method of “bud selection’’—it always gives complete satisfaction. [2] HARRISONS’ “BUD STRAINS” Harrisons’ ‘’bud selection’’ of propagating direct from bearing trees of known sturdy ancestry, superior strains, being the highest coloring of fruit, with extra heavy bearing habits, has made the greatest contribution in directing and fixing the characteristics of the yield: of perfecting color: perecsing the size of the fruits and the volume, as well as regularity of the crop. GROWN ON “BRINK” OF ATLANTIC OCEAN WITHSTANDS MANY CLIMATIC CHANGES Our favorable climatic conditions, being located only eight miles from the Atlantic Ocean with our rich soils of various types, coupled with the latest scientific and practical methods, as well as an unusually large number of experienced nurserymen, with ample facilities, enables Harrisons’ to grow America’s foremost, finest and best quality, true-to- name fruit trees, with superior merits and extra heavy annual bearing habits, which we guarantee, with proper care, will produce bumper crops in any fruitgrowing section of the United States.

Rapid growth. The wood is tough and not brash and has great flexibility ana tensile strength. Requires less pruning than the Elberta. When heavily laden, branches bend gracefully with @ minimum of breakage Leaves—tThe foliage as compared to the Elberta is darker and larger. The leaves are rich dark green and average one inch longer and one- eighth inch wider than the Elberta. Also the leaves are wavy to slightly crinkled with the edge coarsely serrated to almost smooth; obovate- lance-olate; base angle wide; glands reinform, 2-4 in number, incon- spicuous, reddish brown Flower buds—The bud and blossom are more resistant to frost and freezes tnan the Eiberta, the blossoms resembling the Elberta in color and conformation but are somewhat deeper in shade. Resistance to: Erown rot—excellent. Experiments indicate that when any breakdown of cellular structure takes place, it is not usually in the form of a rot, but rather a gradual loss of moisture followed by shriveling. Fruit: Large (‘from x3 inches to 3x31/2 inches), elongated, ovate- oval. Color yellow with blush and mottling of red color; quite attractive. Suture striped with russet raised and slightly prominent. Cavity, narrow, deep, acute. Stem end narrow with slight ridging. Stem end and suture firm (the entire fruit ripening evenly). Fruit throughout the tree is quite uniformly large, even though pruning and fruit thinning were light. The fruit ripens in the Elberta season but will remain on the tree at a more mature stage for a longer period than will the Elberta. Size—Uniform.

The size of the Peach is ali that anyone can expect, as many of these Peaches will run a pound or more in weight and in many instances have been reported that the crop would average three-quarters pound per Peach. The flam- ing, beautiful brignt red color in the cheek, along with an attractive orange-colored background, has earned it an envious reputation as being the prettiest Peach grown. BEST FLAVORED COMMERCIAL PEACH The unexcelled flavor is better than that of J. H. Hale and Elberta. The enticing flavor mokes it a very popular Peach for fresh cating. The rich flavor is retained when canned or preserved. Now recognized as the leading canning Peach in California. R:io-Oso-Gem is the only Peoch which can be pro- cessed by quick freezing and still retain its firm texture, with its beautiful, rich, golden yellow flesh and the same flavor as when picked.

Plant Patent No. 84, from all over the United States, some of the typical remarks are from people such as Fussell-Graham-Alderson Company, Forest City, Arkansas: ‘We have about 1,000 of Harrisons’ Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees from which we have been harvesting the largest and prettiest Peaches | ever saw. We sold our Elberta Peaches, U. S. No. | grade at $2.25 per bushel and we had no trouble in picking the Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches 21/, inches and up which we sold at $4.00 per bushel, f. o. b. Forest City, Arkansas." . Mr. H. Frank Smith, Prop. Hillcrest Orchard, Dover, Arkansas, writes: ‘‘This year’s crop con- vinces me that the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, is the very finest Peach and has certainly proven such with me. It has very fine qualities as a canner and people go wild about it. It always brings the highest prices for me." Mr. Charles Heilig, Sewell, New Jersey, Gloucester County, said that the most handsome and the best Peach of the forty years' experience that he has had was his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem on 400 trees, three years old, from which he picked during early September 324 bushels and which he sold at an average price of $5.00 per bushel at his farm, grossing him more than $1,600.00 from this very young orchard. He bought 620 Rio-Oso-Gem trees for planting November, and said his future plantings would be Rio-Oso-Gem AMERICA’S MOST FAMOUS PEACH Mr. E. R. Connor, fruit grower and broker, of Stephen City, Virginia, in the famous Frederick County fruit section, was exceptionally well pleased with his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches on his three-year-old trees which he picked during early September. From his 400 trees, three years old, he picked a 300-bushel crop for which he was offered $3.75 per bushel, f. o. b. Ste- phen City, Virginia, for the entire crop, but he refused the sale so that he could sell the Peaches in smaller quantities at high prices to his customers throughout the Shenandoah Valley of Vir- ginia and nearby cities. He planted 100 more trees two years ago which had a few Peaches on them this summer. Connor states he wishes he had 5,000 Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, planted in his Orchard instead of 500. RIO-OSO-GEM IS A “MUST” FOR EVERY GROWER There ore still big cash profits in Peaches, provided you grow the right varieties and in the near future you will see where the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, will be getting more Prominence each year. It is predicted that within a decade or so, it will be the most extensively planted commercial Peach in America.

THE APPALACHIAN WINNER ~RED YORKING (U.S. Plant Patent No. 125) The Red Yorking is a “bud sport’’, being a mutation of the famous York Imperial. This ‘‘bud sport’’ originated on a tree, grown with other York Imperial trees, in Harrisons’ Nurseries and later sold to Mr. W. H. Allison, near Ship- pensburg, Penna., for use in plant- ing a large orchard about 40 years ago. RED YORKING—Big Crops ee Os Glavored Apples HOME OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARDS RED SPY—Bears Crisp, Juicy Apples RED ROME BEAUTY An improved Rome Beauty, iden- tical in vigor and production. Color of fruit much brighter and solid red. Produces much higher percentage of fancy Apples and also superior in quality to the ordinary strain of Rome Beauty.

Super-Red McIntosh, when allowed to mature on the trees, is slightly darker in color than our regular improved Mcln- tosh Red.

Colors early, nearly every Apple being solid red in color. We recommend it for commercial and home plantings in northern states. \\BRIGHT RED JONATHAN We searched the country over to find a strain of Jonathan that had more color than our selected Big Yield Strain of Jonathan. After thousands of miles of travel in- specting all of the new strains of this famous variety we found the one we had been looking for. It colors solid red several days earlier, otherwise it is identical with ordi- nary Jonathan. Growers who want more, deeper colored apples will find our Bright Red Jonathan the best colored strain obtainable. \. RED GRAVENSTEIN Here is the Apple that has been overlooked by eastern’ growers. Old-fashioned Gravensteins have been grown in tremendous volume during the past twenty-five years, mostly in California, a few in the Eastern States. The old strain lacks the color to make it sell. Our new Red Gravenstein colors a_ solid bright red long before it is ripe. The quality of Red Gravenstein is extra good for an early Apple and its ability to carry to distant mar- kets, even after it gets solid red, makes it command the highest prices. eee ] 9] RED ROME BEAUTY Quality and Appearance IANRRISONS SUPER RED McINTOSH Superb Flavor BRIGHT RED JONATHAN—A Treat to Eat RED GRAVENSTEIN It’s Solid Red “GRIMES GOLDEN Harrisons’ Selected “Big Yield’’ Strain—Best Home Orchard Apple Autumn, medium sized, golden yellow, tender, rich, aromatic, sub-acid, delicious, possibly the best flavored Apple known, ond a good keeper.

Since virus do not produce clear-cut symptoms in most strawberry varieties but simply weaken and devital- ize the plants, no guarantee can be made that these plants are 100% free of virus.
