FACTS WORTH
MONEY IN FRUIT GROWING
Leading Orchardists Prefer Harrison Grown Fruit Trees
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 wos a poor type,
the nurseryman, without knowing it, continues to reproduce poor, unde-
sirable, small Aig 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.
READING ABOUT
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 ty the characteristics of the yield: of perfecting color:
increasing 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 fovorable 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 lorge
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.
Profits in Pollinization
All varieties of Apples, Pears, Plums and Sweet
Cherries must be cross-pollinated to insure a full set
of fruits, especially in a season when the weather is
cool, cloudy, or raining during the blooming time.
Plont at least 1 or 2 trees as pollinizers for every
20 trees of a single variety. A moderately self-fertile
variety will produce a much larger crop, if a few trees
of pollinating varieties are inter-planted at intervals.
For the slightly self-sterile and self-sterile varieties,
two or more pollinating varieties inter-planted will
make the difference between a financial success or
foilure of your orchard.

YELLOW FREESTONE
The World's Greatest Peach
The sensational Peach which has caused the greatest amount
of favorable reports of any Peoch introduced in a half century
is that marvelous, big Peach, the World's largest, being a pat-
ented variety, the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84
It has now been fruited in all Peach-growing districts in the
United States and Canada, and has definitely proven itself to
be the best all-around commercial Peach. Ask ony man who
hos grown the Rio-Oso-Gem.
THE BEAUTIFUL GLORIFIED PEACH
This beautiful Peach has a brilliant, bright red color, running
around 959 good red, whereas they are easy to pock as U
Fancy grade. The size of the Peach is all 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 FLAVQGRED COMMERCIAL PEACH
The unexcelled flavor is better than that of J. H. Hale and
Elberta. The enticing flavor makes it a very popular Peoch
for fresh cating. The rich flavor is retained when canned or
preserved. Now recognized as the leading canning Peach in
California. Rio-Oso-Gem is the only Peach 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. We have quick frozen Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches
which were picked and processed on September 1, 1944, which
ore still holding up in excellent condition.
RECORD BREAKER FOR LONG DISTANCE
SHIPMENTS
The Rio Oso Gem is the best of all Peaches for long distance
shipments and the fruit will stand up longer ofter being picked
than any other variety of Peach in existence. This stupendous
variety adapts itself exceedingly well for shipments in refrig-
evator cors ore-cooled, under standard refrigeration for trans-
continental hauls. This is the greatest Peach for shipments on
trucks under ventilation, as its hard, firm texture insures ar-
rival in excellent condition.

Colonel and Mrs. Frank Sleeter, Round Hill,
Virginia, wrote, ‘We have the land ready for

peach and we have had marvelous results

spite of the low market price prevailing during
the summer of 1949."'
PROLIFIC BEARER—RIO-OSO-GEM PEACH
Peach, U. S. 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. 0. 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 cag, 620 Rio-Oso-Gem trees for Slantien 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 o 300-bushel crop for which he was offered $3.75 per bushel, f. 0. 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 Shenandoch Volley 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 SOO.
RIO-OSO-GEM IS A “MUST” FOR EVERY GROWER
There are 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 yeor. It is predicted that within a decade or so, it will be the most extensively
planted commercial Peach in America.

DISCOVERY OF THE HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT
This sensational new peach was discovered by Mr. Oscar F. Jones, near
Crozet, Virginia in the famous mountainous Albemarie County section. He was
manager for more than 30 years for the A. C. Bruce orchards, who planted
many thousands of Harrison grown peach trees, starting in 1902. A life long
horticulturist, he is a pioneer in one of the largest peach growing districts of
the United States.
WHAT PROMINENT GROWERS SAY
Mr. C. Purcell McCue, Greenwood, Virginia—’’Personally, | feel this peach
will replace ELBERTA in this section.”
Mr. C. E. Starkweather, Crozet, Virginia—’’It bears larger, better colored
peaches even with a heavier crop than the Elbertas do.’
Mr. Lee T. Carpenter, Louisa, Virginia—If it proves out in tests as good
as it ae original habitat | consider it to be the greatest find since Elberta
in the Stat
Nininger Orchards, Roanoke, Virginia—’’The parent tree of this peach is the
largest and the most prolific | ever saw and when it is loaded with those large,
uniform fruit, one hundred per cent colored it is a sight to be remembered.”
Mr. Edward D. Daugherty, Crozet, Virginia—’’l know something of the
HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT and consider it a very unusual variety which will
soon replace Elberta if properly distributed and advertised.”
Mr. H. P. Rhodes, Winchester, Virginia—’’The 500 Hale Harrison Brilliant
peach trees | got from you and planted during November of 1949, that 498
are growing and have made a tremendous growth with dark green, healthy
leaves and sturdy limbs. | was over to Crozet this summer and got three bushels
of this amazing peach from Mr. Oscar Jones, they were off of the parent (16
years old) tree, which had probably twenty bushels which he sold off the tree
for $4.50 per bushel. They were the most perfect example of a very large,
delicious firm peach | have ever seen. Will eventually replace Elberta. | want
to plant another block, as | believe and all of the fruit men of Winchester
Virginia agree with me, that this peach is the answer to a fruit grower’s prayer.’
Several hundred half-bushel cell type paper cartons of HALE HARRISON
BRILLIANT peaches grown in Northern Virginia were shipped during August
1955 from New York City by steam-ship under refrigeration to Buenos Aires,
Argentina, South America, being twenty days in™transit. Peaches arrived in
GOOD CONDITION bringing FABULOUS PRICES.
Ripens 3 to 4 days earlier than Elberta. Finest flavored yellow peach.

Peach of the Future
HALE HARRISON
U. S. Patented BRILLIANT No. 814
Sensational! New! Colossal?
Yellow freestone ripening during midseason 3 to 4 days
earlier than Elberta. The fruit is nearly fuzzless and
has a brilliant cardinal red almost completely covering a
golden yellow ground color even when growing in shade
in the interior of the tree. Fruit throughout the tree is
uniformly large even when unpruned or unthinned. Tree
is large, vigorous and rapid grower. Self pollinating, it
bears tremendous crops year after year. Very hardy in bud
and blossom and highly resistant to brown rot. Keeping
qualities are excellent.
FOR HOME OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARD
Whether you are going to plant one tree for home
fresh eating, canning or freezing or one thousand trees
for a commercial orchard, we unhesitatingly recommend
Hale Harrison Brilliant as the best peach to plant. It will
give you more pleasure to eat or more profit in growing
than any other peach known today
WILL REPLACE ELBERTA
For many decades Elberta has been the standard peach
of the world by which all peaches have been judged,
tests and observations by leading peach authorities con-
firm our belief that the new sensational Hale Harrison
Brilliant surpasses the Elberta iri every way.
OUTSELLS AND OUTBEARS
Hale Harrison Brilliant outclasses them all. It is really
the one peach that has everything. Its beautiful attractive
appearance, huge size, superior delicious flavor makes it
have extraordinary favorable eye appeal, resulting in
higher prices. This combined with its BUMPER crops,
“Original tree has produced over twenty bushels a year”
make it the outstanding moneymaker.
WIDELY ADAPTED
Hale Harrison Brilliant has been planted in forty-
two states. Reports from these plantings prove it is
equally as adaptable to the far south as it is in central
and western areas and it even produces highly satisfactorily
in Canada and other northern peach sections.
LONG PICKING SEASON
One of the finest features of Hale Harrison Brilliant
is its early coloring, the golden yellow ground color
appears weeks before it begins to ripen, this is the one
peach that has a high sugar content even when it is
hard. Fruit growers have been amazed at its ready to
eat coloring and general smooth skin appearance several
days before it is ready) to pick and ship, this means a
long picking season. Records show that it surpasses in
keeping qualities any other peach on long distance ship-
ments.
‘HARRISONS AMAZING GUARANTEE
Several years of testing in co-operation with leading
fruit authorities convince us as to the outstanding merits
of Hale Harrison Brilliant that we can make the following
guarantee.
“Each and every Hale Harrison Brilliant is a true re-
production of the original strain, it will produce more
satisfaction to you than any other peach variety that
ripéns during its season, on proper proof of failure to
do this we will furnish you without charge an equal
number of peach trees of any other variety that you
desire.”’

Very Early Varieties
al
7 DIXIRED. Very early, yellow, cling, medium size, round, bright
attractive red blush; good flavor; prolific bearer. Ripens two
weeks earlier than Golden Jubilee or about three days later
than Red Bird. A new variety originated and introduced by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Its most outstanaing
commercial feature is that it is a good shipper and has been
planted extensively in Georgia to meet the demands for the
very early Peach market.

THE NEW EARLY RIPENING YELLOW PEACH THAT
RIPENS ABOUT 5 DAYS BEFORE GOLDEN JUBILEE
The most promising early ripening yeliow freestone Peach
ever introduced. A cross between Hale-Haven and Kalhaven
made at the South Haven, Michigan, Experimental Station.
Brilliant red color with creamy yellow background, smooth
skin, almost fuzzless. Reddens before it ripens. Bears heavy
crops and should be thinned for best results. Every grower
should try REDHAVEN. We have a good supply of genuine
Redhaven trees this season. The demand for this variety is
heavy, so order early.
Developed by the Master Plant Breeders of New Jersey
MEDIUM TO LARGE, FIRM, ATTRACTIVE
Ripens early, medium to large, oval, firm, high quality,
colors several days in advance of its ripening, being 2 days
later than Golden Jubilee, or 3 weeks earlier than Elberta.
This, combined with its very slow rate of softening, makes
it an ideal Peach for commercial growers. Hangs well to
the tree after the Peaches become firm ripe. When picked
hard to firm it is a good long distance shipper. This is the
best commercial Peach ripening at this period, and is being
planted now by some growers in preference to Golden
Jubilee. Considered as the best new variety of Peach so

The Outstanding Medium Early Commercial Peach
Here is the peach that has caused a sensation wherever fruited. Grow-
ers in many sections say it is their best medium early, yellow, freestone
peach for shipping, local markets and home use. Beautiful golden yellow,
almost completely overspread with brilliant red. Ripens about the same
time as Hale Haven, but on account of its vivid red color and yellow
background with no green color, it can be picked for commercial ship-
ments about four days sooner. Excellent in flavor, even superior to Hale
Haven for fresh eating, freezing and canning. Hardy, sure cropper, large
size, a sensational money maker. July Elberta is known by different
names, such as Burnett Elberta, Burbank July Elberta, Kim Elberta, Bur-

well. Ripens 7 days after Golden Jubilee.
7 CHAMPION. A Good Home Peach. White, freestone, very large: creamy
/ white with red cheek, sweet, juicy, very high flavor. Champion has
lost its past commercial importance because it will not carry satis-
factorily under refrigeration, but as a home garden or a roadside
. Peach, it is one of the best. Tree is hardy, large grower and pro-
ductive. Ripens ten days earlier than Elberta.
7 SUNHIGH. (N. J. 82.) A large, red, bright, smooth Peach which colors
/ well all over before it ripens, softens slowly, making it a good com-
5 mercial Peach. Flesh inclines to adhere to the pit when hard ripe.

summer spraying. The fruit is large, roundish, thick-skinned, very
uniform in size. Color deep yee with red cheek. Stone is free.
Ripens approximately 18 days before Elberta, at a time to bring high
market prices.

Midseoson. Yellow, freestone. Fruit is large to extra

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. The attractive appearance and uniform large

ORIGINAL STRAIN Elberta
Today, there are more than seven distinct types and strains of Elberta, bearing
fruit in the orchards of this country. To compare the vorious sizes, shapes, texture
and red coloring of these Elberta with those grown “on original strain trees” gives
sufficient reason why they sold this year at a premium of $1.00 to $2.00 per bushel
on the New York and other leading fruit markets.

recommend it for commercial and

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.

during summer.
A golden colored Pear, with a red cheek on most speci-
mens. Bartlett mellows and is excellent for eating 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 fin-
est Pears that grows, to eat raw. A mingling of the flavor
of Eartlett Pear and Quince gives about the finest taste
of any food this world’s folks have. Bartlett trees bear
early, produce enoymous crops, and are not nearly so sub-
ject to damage by insects and disease as some other sorts.
The trees do especially well with high culture.
Fancy Bartletts Bring Highest
Prices
Bartlett Pears always sell on the markets even when
other sorts are not in great demand. The fruit is so hand-
some and appealing that it pays to pack it in fancy con-
tainers. Bushels or bushel boxes are best adapted. The
fruit ought to be 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 fruit
can be sold without wrapping, in small baskets or boxes.
One or two Bartlett Pear trees in the city yard will fur-
nish a considerable amount of fruit; a half
dozen will suoply the family with fresh fruit
and a surplus for preserving.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET
(Ligustrum ovalifolium)
This is the universal hedge in the East, a
fact proving that Privet hes 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, parks and cemeteries, along roads and
paths, on factory grounds, and on newly sub-
divided areas near towns, nothing else can be
used in its place, and in this place it is indis-
pensable. It is the best of all hardy hedge
plants. Can be easily kept at any height
desired; has glossy, deep green leaves, and
holds them until late fall. Its strong, quick,
upright growth mokes it useful for screening
out unsightly objects.
SPIRAEA VAN HOUTTEI

GREEN BARBERRY
(Berberis Thunbergi)

Extremely hardy and requires but little prun-
