Dear Friends:
Fifty-four years ago Harrisons’ Nurseries were started by our grandfather. Within a short time our fathers, Orlando and George A., entered the business. From a humble beginning of a few acres of fruit trees, strawberry plants and ornamentals our organization has grown until today we have several thousands of acres of fruit trees, small fruits, strawberries, shade trees, evergreens, roses, shrubs, and a general! line of ornamentals, as well as commercial orchards.
Our well-balanced organization enables us to give employment to hundreds of men and women throughout the fifty-two weeks of each year.
By entrusting your needs with a scientifical/y and practically trained organization, you are assured the best quality nursery stock obtainable and your order, whether large or small, will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,

Extra Fancy strain known.
Colors Much Earlier Than Ordinary Delicious
Harrisons’ Red Delicious colors up weeks earlier than the ordinary strain.
By coloring earlier the fruit can be picked while it is firm and it keeps
better in storage. Size and Taste
Size is all anyone could desire, as it runs from large to extra large. The large size, solid red color and characteristic five-knob end make it attract buyers in every market.
Taste will be found on a par with its other points of advantage. The flavor is rich, slightly sub-acid, with an individuality which makes the palate call for more. You'll have no trouble with repeat sales for this
variety. Ships and Keeps Well
Harrisons’ Red Delicious ships without bruising. In fact it ships better
than the ordinary Delicious because its earlier coloring permits it to be
picked when the fruit is more firm. Its large size makes it easy to pack attractively and the uniformity of size guarantees a good appearance.
Large Profit Maker
The ordinary Delicious is a proven profit maker and our Harrisons’ Red —
Delicious is destined to outclass its predecessor due to the fact that it will produce more highly colored fruit and as most every fruit grower knows, color plays an important part in the price the fruit sells for.

Keeping Qualities Are Good Without much care, Jonathan may be kept until February, or possibly a bit later. When particular care has been paid to the packing and selection of perfect fruits, it will be found a most desirable variety for the holiday sedson.
Jonathan Stands Shipping Well Many apples are excellent to the eye and to the taste, but fail to stand up under the handling which they must get, and therefore do not enjoy real com- mercial success. Jonathan in this sense is exceptional, for it seems able to stand much handling without ill effects. The skin is thin but tough.

Strong and Vigorous Like Its Parent Northern Spy
This new variety has the same characteristics as Northern Spy, except that it is a more pronounced red, with the same “eye appeal” of Harrisons’ Red Delicious. For large Apple growers in the northern states and folks who like home orchards, Harrisons’ recommend this out- standing new RED SPY.
Winesap An Anple Gaucrite in Virginia Sometimes called Old Winesap and Virginia Winesap. Medium size, oblong, smooth, and a fine dark red—one of the best red colored Apples grown; flesh yellow, crisp, tender, very juicy, aromatic, firm and excellent flavor. Very long keeper and considered the best cold storage variety, keeping until July. A strong grower; comes into
bearing early and is remarkable for its regular and abun- dant crops.
ONE-YEAR APPLES Mr. E. B. Bradford, farm foreman, proudly shows some 6-ft. specimens grown in Berlin
GANO (Black Ben). A handsome. large Apple of perfect shape, smooth, glossy, deep red skin; flesh white, slightly tinged with yellow, firm, rather coarse, crisp, mild, sub- acid flavor. Gano is one of the most popular export apples for the South American trade. Excellent keeper, standing long shipments, usually packed in barrels. A sure money- maker for the export trade. (Small 1-year trees only).
LOWRY. Beautiful mahogany red, good, medium size, round oval shape, nearly sweet, mild sub-acid; excellent flavor, good shipper, long keeper, and sells at fancy prices in ex- port as well as domestic markets. New popular commer- cial variety in Virginia. (1-year trees only).
MAMMOTH BLACK TWIG (Paragon). Extra large in size and round; skin smooth, yellowish covered with deep red, the general effect being dark red; flesh tender, tinged with yellow, crisp sub-acid, aromatic, fine flavor, of excellent quality, long keeper of great value. An important com- mercial variety in the East. Tree is vigorous and healthy, yields big crops. Plant Delicious or Jonathan as a pollenizer.
MACOUN. Similar quality and texture as McIntosh Red, al- though it ripens 2 to 3 weeks later than Cortland. (Small, l-year trees only).
NERO. An Apple which has received far too little attention from planters of Eastern orchards. Deep red, with hand- some shading; medium large size, of good quality and ex- cellent flavor; one of the longest keepers, one of the best cold:storage Apples. Apples are graded and packed easily, do not show bruises and hold up well in storage.

NORTHERN SPY. Large, bright scarlet-red, with yellow mark- ings. Flesh juicy, rich, crisp, tender, aromatic and highly flavored. Tree a strong, erect grower, very healthy, ex- tremely hardy anda free producer. Blossoms are produced late in the spring, thus escaping frosts. Trees are slow in coming into bearing, but the quality of the fruit largely over-balances this difficulty. Popular old commercial va- riety in northern states. Should not be planted south of Southern Pennsylvania. Northern Spy is one of the best varieties on which to top bud or top graft certain weaker growing varieties. (Available in 1-2 ft., 2-3 ft., and 3-4 ft. sizes only).
OPALESCENT. Very handsome dark crimson Apple. (1-year trees only).
PARAGON. For description see Mammoth Black Twig.
ROME BEAUTY. Large, round; mottled and striped in dif- ferent shades of red; flavor and quality way above the average; appearance and size are its valuable points; al- ways in strong demand and brings highest prices. Keeps in good condition until May and june. With an established reputation due to real merit, Rome Beauty is a variety eastern orchardists should plant. Good, hardy, strong grower; blooms late; bears heavily every year; is adapted to a wide range of soils, elevations and conditions. Relia- bility, due to being frost-proof, strong growing, sure bear- ing, unusual demand, with high prices on the leading mar- kets, especially from the chain stores, make it a favorite with the growers. Fine quality and long keeping for use and for handling make it popular with consumers and dealers. Most attractive when packed in boxes and bushels.

We recommend to every Peach grower north and west of North Carolina to pliant this variety. We, ourselves, have planted several thousand trees in our own orchards and feel confident that you will be satisfied by planting the Golden Jubilee for home use or commerciai planting. Our strain of Golden Jubilee is the original strain being originated and introduced by the New Jersey Experiment Station.
Commercial Peach Orchardists
for a century have been looking for an early Peach of high quality, fine flavor, yellow, freestone, attrac- tive color, firm texture and a good shipper, and event- ually they have found it in the marvelous Golden Jubilee. This variety is a sensation of recent intro- duction of new varieties and is by far better than any variety of commercial importance which has been in- troduced since the Brackett.
_ Golden Jubilee ripens about four or five days ahead of Carman; the latter variety at one time was of commercial importance, but in recent years it has only been grown in a limited way commercially and is . quickly fading away in view of the competition from Mamie Ross.
i Tried and Proven
_ There are numerous bearing Golden Jubilee Peach orchards throughout the United States and the variety has been tested by practical fruit men who have unan- imously pronounced it as a worthy member of the pre- ferred commercial list. It has been planted by tens of thousands in every Peach producing region and has GOLDEN JUBILEE Ripens 4 Days Ahead of Carman given good results; therefore, we all must congratulate ;

Ripens early August. Color creamy white with red cheek. Flesh white, red near pit. Size large, freestone. Belle of Georgia, for some time, has been recognized as the best all-around white Peach on the market. lt is easily the best shipping white Peach of its season,
ranking almost with Elberta in this respect. Because of its many desirable qualities, it has become standard in the large.commercial orchards, and you can find few orchardists of any importance who do not have a block of Belle in their orchards. These men know from experience just what varieties pay best.
Bears Bumper Crops Every Year The tree is an exceedingly strong grower and has established heavy produc- ing records throughout the East. It withstands sub-zero temperature much better than most varieties in its season. By bearing heavy crops when other varieties were light, it has made its growers large profits in the past _~years.

The tree is a strong grower with an open top; very vigorous. Bears heavy crops when very young, even at thfee years. Tree is very hardy in fruit bud and will bear a bumper crop when other varieties fail.
Plant Harrisons’ Super-Strain Belle of Georgia Trees
Harrisons, in their commercial Peach orchards over a long period of years, have grown a larger number of carloads. and truckloads of Belle of Georgia Peaches than any other orchardist in the nation. Through the process of “’bud selection’’ Harrisons, over a period of many years, have been able to aid Nature, consequent- ly have developed from the original strain which we received from Mr. L. A. Rumph, Marshallville, Georgia, originator of this famous variety, insuring in our fa- mous Harrisons’ Super-Strain Belle of Georgia Peach trees, which is the finest type, the hardiest and the most productive available. Elicits praise from all who know it because of the great beauty of its fruit at its best—it is one of the glories of the Peach World.
Best Peach for Home Gardens
lf you grow Peaches for market purposes, or if you wish several Peach trees in the garden plot near your home, you will find Belle of Georgia the best Peach for this purpose. To the commercial grower it offers a white Peach maturing be- fore Elberta, which ships well and brings good prices. To the man with a home orchard it means big, luscious, white Peaches —Peaches you can be proud to show your neighbors. There is only one best argument for the Belle of Georgia—eat one, and you'll know immediately what it is.
Best All-Around White Peach
During the past four years numerous orchardists in the sections which were visited by the bitter sub-zero winters of more or less duration, found in several cases that Belle of Georgia was the only variety of Peach which came through the winter with sufficient number of live fruit buds to insure a commercial crop. These orchardists were lucky in having Belle of Georgia as they received high prices for their Peaches, making Belle of Georgia a good cash profit variety,
whereas many other yarieties were a failure. NANRRISONSA \-QUALI

Yellow Freestone — Midseason
Fruit is large to extra large; golden yellow with brilliant shades of red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet and good flavor. Elberta has the greatest international reputation of any peach. It has been the standard for all other peaches almost since the date of its introduction. The color- ing of Elberta is practically perfect. The rich, yellow skin is almost entirely covered with dark red blush upon the sunny side. This attrac- tive appearance and the uniform large size serve to sell it almost on sight.
Stamina - Uniformity - Best Canning Premium Prices - Public Demand
The large fruit, being uniform in size and shape, along with its high
attractive red color and firmness, also its ability to stand shipments of ~
three thousand or more miles under refrigeration in cars for two or three weeks before being consumed, but with stamina enough to still look its best, has won Elberta the reputation of being a peach without a peer and the variety which is always in favor and strong demand with the buying public, therefore demanding the highest possible market prices. Elberta is by far the best canning peach.
In Our Own Commercial Orchards
we have tens of thousands of these trees, which are the best strain of Elberta obtainable. It was procured from the original tree grown by
the late Samuel H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, the originator —
of Elberta, and budded in our own nurseries. There are many different types of Elberta, and the “’Best Strain” is the cheapest and most profitable for the long-time investment,
~
We recommend devoting 35% of your commercial orchard to-
Elbertas.
The Best | Commercial Variely - Elberta _ Tree is vigorous, very hardy, sturdy,
thrives in widely dif- ferent localities. El-
berta is hardier in bud than most varieties, and is a uniform pro- lific bearer. You can always depend on EI- berta as a sure crop- per.

O OSO'GEM
It’s a future money maker because it follows close on the heels of Elberta. The greatest find in a century.
Larger Than J. H. Hale
The Rio Oso Gem is a perfect freestone; form is globular, slightly elongated, of extremely large size, averaging in diam- eter from 234 to 334 inches; deep yellow flesh, very fine grain, firm texture, with very excellent flavor, being rich, juicy, sweet and slightly spicy. The coloring is unique, being a beautiful dark crimson-red, running out to lighter crimson and into a rich mottle of crimson over the orange-yellow ground color. It is a good transcontinental shipper.
Bears Heavier Than Elberta
Rio Oso Gem is an extremely heavy bearer and on account of its prolific set of fruit, it is necessary to practice extreme- ly heavy thinning. It has hardy, vigorous fruit buds, which insure it being a heavy annual bearer. The tree bears young.
Ripens Two Weeks Later Than Elberta
The Rio Oso Gem would be a Peach of commercial im- portance when ripening at any time during the Peach season, but it is very fortunate that it ripens two weeks later than Elberta, which puts it at a time when there is no other va- riety of commercial importance as a competitor, and fills a long looked-for gap in commercial production, ripening when the markets are clamoring for Peaches—this variety has sold at very much higher prices than Elberta and J. H. Hale. To prolong your Peach shipping season, we highly recommend to you planting the Rio Oso Gem. Harrisons have planted several thousand Rio Oso Gem in their own famous orchards. We have the utmost faith in the Rio Oso Gem, and we will also make future plantings of this remarkable Peach.

How to Grow Asparagus
Asparagus is easy to grow and should be in every garden because it thrives everywhere. Spring is the best time te plant as soon as the soil can be worked into good condition. Dig or plow a trench tem 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 culture Asparagus may be planted eighteen inches apart each way, but for field culture plant two feet apart in the row with the rows four feet apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently.
Commercial Planters Prefer 1-Year Roots
The majority of commercial growers of asparagus prefer 1-year roots, they cost less and are much easier to plant. By liberal application of fertilizer and ma- nure heavy yields of asparagus can be had after one or two years.
Plant Harrisons’ Pedigreed Roots
We have made a specialty of growing asparagus roots for over 40 years and have supplied plants for some of the finest asparagus beds in the country. The growing, handling, and shipping of millions of aspara- gus roots has taught us many things and today we are in position to supply you with quality roots at low cost. All our crowns were grown direct from the original strain of seed.
We Recommend Two-Year Roots for Home Gardens
Experience has taught us that 2-year roots give better results for garden planting than 1-year roots. The 2-year roots are much larger and have more food stored up which causes them to make more growth and yield larger crops of asparagus sooner than the 1-year roots.

Midseason to late. This is the most popular Blackcap at the present time, because of its great size, firmness, and productiveness. The fruit is the largest of the Raspberry family, and is of sucn handsome appearance that it is sure to bring the top prices on the market.
A BIG CROP EVERY YEAR
Cumberland has never been known to fail to produce a big crop every year.
This variety is perfectly hardy and tre- R 7 /, mendously productive, the bushes are
vigorous, upright and healthy. Berries are glossy black in color, not equalled by any other variety in quality, flavor and appear- ance. It’s good to eat and good to sell.
Other Black Raspberries
NEW LOGAN. A new Black Raspberry variety; probably its two most noteworthy characteristics are that it ripens about a week earlier and is more resistant to the virus diseases. A very productive variety and fruit of good size and quality. If an early berry is desired, it is one of the best. It does not crumble.
PLUM FARMER. Very popular with many growers on account of its earliness of ripening. Plum Farmer has the ability to ma- ture its customary big yield in a very short time, generally 15 to 20 days. The plants are healthy, canes strong growing. Ripens a week earlier than Cumberland.
Other Red Raspberries
CHIEF. A new Red Raspberry that is destined to challenge the supremacy of Latnam, originated by the Minnesota State Breeding Farm and has been given rigid tests over a wide area. It has proven hardy, resistant to disease, a heavy cropper of large excellent quality berries that will with- stand shipments to market.
ST. REGIS. There is a demand for this fine fruit in the late summer and fall. Growers make exceptionally large prof- its when grown for markets. However, if you do not grow them for market, by all means plant a few bushes for home use. St. Regis produces a big crop of fruit during the regu- lar season and then continues bearing all summer and fall on the new canes.
NEWBURGH. The new Red Rasp- berry which is gaining popu- larity rapidly. Bright red, ex-

Decorative Evergreens
AMERICAN ARBOR-VITAE (Thuja occidentalis). Probably no evergreen is more admired than the American Arbor-vitae with its beautifully carved foliage of deep green, its graceful, refined habits and its artistic shape. These features make it indispensable in the home foundation groups and in the lawn and garden plantings. This evergreen is easy to trans- plant and grows under adverse weather conditions. =
CHINESE ARBOR-VITAE (Thuja orientalis). An attractive, upright evergreen, rapid grower with bright green foliage. When young it is compact and rather pyramidal in form. As it becomes older it assumes the habit of a rather loose-growing Red Cedar. Very useful for screening purposes because of its rapid growth.

_ trees are alive with silver and green flashes. in the fall the leaves fade
; to pale yellow. Growth is faster than that of any other Maple, and
* probably faster than that of any other shade tree. Branches are slim
and dainty rather than heavy, and the form of growth is spreading.
_ Gets very large eventually—as high as 120 feet sometimes—and does

PLANTING AND CULTURE OF ROSES
All Roses except climbers and Persian Yellow should be pruned severely in the spring. They bloom on the new season’s wood, so old wood should be cut back one-half or more and all weak shoots cut out. Be sure to plant with union of {| root and stock at least three inches below the surface of the ground. Roses like clay or a medium heavy soil.
SELECT AND PREPARE ROSE BEDS WITH CARE
The Rose bed should be placed where it will have plenty of sunshine. See that it is in a well drained position. Prepare the bed by deep spading. Three feet is not too deep. This will allow for a layer of stones to help drainage if needed. Fill the bed with alternate layers of dirt and well-rotted manure, which should be thoroughly mixed and allowed to settle.
