RED YORKING APPLE
U. S. Plant Patent Number 125, May 28, 1935
Sensational New Triple Red York Imperial
A SUPREME HORTICULTURAL ACHIEVEMENT
U. S. PLANT PATENT NO. 125, MAY 28, 1935
“RED YORKING”
Excellent Cold Storage Keeper
The Red Yorking keeps in cold storage, as well
as common storage, very much better than the
York Imperial—this is due to the fact that the Red
Yorking’s skin is thicker and that it has a solid
cherry red color. The Red Yorking does not scald
in cold storage.
Plant in Home Orchards
The Red Yorking is the easiest variety of any
to grow and it is particularly adapted to the home
orchard. The Red Yorking does not require as
much attention. nor as much spraying as many
other varieties, in order to raise a good crop—it is
a prolific bearer, producing crops each year. It is
a wonderful variety for the home, as it is particu-
larly adapted for cooking and also good for eating
when fully ripe.
Harrisons’ Nurseries, Inc.. have over 1.750 acres
planted to commercial apple and peach orchards.
We planted an orchard of the Red Yorking last
year, as we have faith in this variety. therefore we
will plant another orchard of the Red Yorking
this spring. and we highly recommend you to plant
this new “sport” variety in your commercial or
home orchard.
WARNING! It is unlawful for anyone to propa-
gate and sell Red Yorking. United States Plant
Patent No. 125, apple trees without obtaining
written permission from the owners. The Govern-
ment has protected the owners oi the Red Yorking
against infringements by the U. S. Plant Patent
Laws for a period of seventeen years.
Undoubiedly there will be others who will offer
so-called improved York Imperial under various
mames, therefore beware of bogus sirains. There
is only one genuine. being the original strain of
the “bud sport’ Red Yorking, U. S. Plant Patent
Wo. 125. which can only be bought from the owners.
The Red Yorking apple is the utopian va-
riety Which growers have long wished for in
the York Imperial producing sections. The
York Imperial has been most extensively
planted and has gained its greatest prestige
in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and Delaware and is generally con-
sidered in those states as the best average
money maker, consequently this second
largest commercial apple district of the Na-
tion has been startled and amazed as to the
unusual merits of the new “bud spcrt” variety
“Red Yorking.”
The Glorified York Imperial
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’ Nur-
series and later sold to Mr. W. H. Allison, near
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, for use in plant-
ing a large orchard about twenty-iour years
ago.
Earlier Coloring—More Extra Fancy Fruits
The “Red Yorking” is similar to its parent
in size and shape but its chief distinction is
that it has very much better red color, being
mostly 100% bright red color. The Red York-
ing taKes on high red coior from three to five
weeks earlier in the fall than York Imperial,
which is a distinct advantage in selling, as
the earliness in season and high red color will
command much higher prices.
The “Red YorkKing” is a more vigorous
grower and a heavier producer than York Im-
perial. The York Imperial has been the out-
standing apple in certain districts for several
decades, but it will soon be replaced in promi-
nence by its ofi-spring, the “Red Yorking.”
Best Export Apple
All apples which are shipped Export up to No-
vember 15th of each season must be United States
No. 1 grade, Government inspected with Federal
Export Form Certificates. The Red Yorking is the
best export apple, due to the following important
features:
(1) It starts to take on red color during early
August, and by the first week of September there
is sufficient red color for the United States No. 1
grade with proper maturity so that it can be safely
and profitably picked and shipped.
(2) It is similar to York Imperial in size and
shape, but has better shipping qualities, on ac-
count of the higher red color than its parent.
(3) The height of the picking season of the York
Imperial is during the second and third weeks of
October, Whereas the Red YorkKing is about a
month earlier.
(4) It is a recognized fact that every year the
earliest cars in the season picked and shipped
bring handsome cash premiums.

PROFITS IN FRUIT GROWING
Little Orchards Make More
Money Than Big Farms
PLANT HARRISONS’ SUPER-STRAIN SELECTED TREES
About a half century ago Harrisons started
planting orchards so that they could carefully se-
lect the strongest, most vigorous, exceedingly
healthy, highest colored and the most productive
strains for propagation purposes, thereby insuring
our customers of fruit trees true to name and of
the best types available of each variety.
The utmost care was exercised in selecting the
budding wood during the summer and early fall
while the fruit was on the trees, which was in turn
budded in our fruit tree nurseries. By honestly
practicing this method of propagation, we un-
consciously developed in a practical manner “bud
selection.’ The laws of heredity are as fully oper-
ative in plant life as in the animal kingdom. Har-
risons were the first nurserymen to practice “bud
selection’’ which has revolutionized the industry of
growing high quality, true to name fruit trees.
TRUE TO NAME—EARLIER TO BEAR
As years passed along, our sales of fruit trees
greatly advanced, consequently from year to year
we have been planting additional commercial or-
chards, until at this time Harrisons’ Nurseries, Inc.,
have more than 1,750 acres in orchards in the vi-
cinity of Berlin, Maryland. We also found that
by propagating direct from bearing trees of su-
perior merits, that we were able to produce fruit
trees, not only true to name and of the best types,
but trees which would come into bearing at the
earliest known age for the respective varieties-——
and trees Known to produce bumper crops.
YIELD GREATER PROFITS
If fruit trees are continuously propagated from
the nursery rows, which is the practice that a very
large percentage of the nurserymen in America
pursue, on account of the facts that it is much
Cheaper and that they do not have their own
orchards from which to propagate, consequently
fruit trees begin to degenerate—and if the original
was a poor type, then the nurseryman without
Knowing it, would continue to reproduce poor,
undesirable, small type, low yielding fruit trees,
which in many instal:ces would take many years
to come into bearing and never produce bumper
crops. Incidentally, in case there was a mixture
in the nursery rows, the nurseryman would con-
tinue to propagate, thereby selling trees untrue to
name.
The only Known scientific method is “bud selec-
tion’? which has not only developed better and
new fruits, but has prevented and eliminated the
propagating of degenerate types.
HIGHEST QUALITY FRUIT TREES AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES
It is very expensive to propagate fruit trees by
“bud selection’? method, but it has been on this
basis that Harrisons have won an enviable reputa-
tion for the highest quality fruit trees, being true
to name which can be found in America, but by
our large volume of production we have been able
to hold down the selling prices to a reasonable and
attractive basis for the commercial orchardists as
well as the home owner—by necessity, however,
Our prices naturally must be higher than certain
of those nurserymen who practice the worn out
and obsolete method.
No matter where you buy trees, or what price
you pay, there is a distinct financial loss unless
they make good in the orchard. It’s mighty unfortu-
nate that many people forget this fact and inno-
cently buy trees because they think they are saving
a few cents. We can prove that our trees are
larger than most other trees; tests of more than
fifty-two years show they are as hearty and adapt-
able as trees grown in any part of the country,
generally hardier; the wood is well ripened and it
goes without saying, that they are first class qual-
ity, being clean and free from diseases.

Granted Plant Patent No. 84 on Nov. 28,
1933 by the United Siates Government.
A TREMENDOUS MONEY
MAKER FOR GROWERS
Commercially speaking, Elberta
just about ends the peach deal
each year, consequently growers
for several generations have been
anxiously looking for a late ripe-
ning, yellow, freestone peach of
large size, high red color and good
fiavor, to extend their shipping
season, and have eventually found
it in the newly discovered mar-
velous Rio Oso Gem. This new
variety has been awarded U. S.
Plant Patent No. 84 of the U. S.
Patent Office.
LARGER THAN J. H. HALE
The Rio Oso Gem is a perfect
freestone, form is globular, slight-
ly elongated, of extremely large
size, averaging in diameter 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, run-
ning out to lighter crimson and
into a rich mottle of crimson over
the orange-yellow ground color.
It is a good transcontinental ship-
per.
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 extremely heavy thinning. It has hardy,
vigorous fruit buds, which insure it being a heavy
annual bearer. The tree bears young.
RIPENS 2 WEEKS LATER THAN ELBERTA
The Rio Oso Gem would be a peach of commer-
cial importance 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 variety of com-
mercial 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.

PLANT PEACHES FOR LARGE PROFITS
It Pays to Plant the Best Trees
Harrisons’ “bud selection” of propa-
gating 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 characteris-
tics of the yield; of perfecting color;
increasing the size of the fruit and
the volume, as well as regularity of
the crop.
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 unusuaily
large number of experienced nursery-
men, 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 fruit
erowing section of the United States.
The peach grower has a bright and
profitable cash future—we advise you to

GOLDEN JUBILEE
The Best Early Yellow Freestone Peach
Commercial peach orchardists for a Century have been
looking for an early peach of high quality, fine flavor,
yellow, freestone, attractive color, firm texture and a good
shipper, and eventually they have found it in the mar-
velous Golden Jubilee. This variety is a sensation of
recent introduction of new varieties and is by far better
than any variety of commercial importance which has
been introduced since the Brackett.
Golden Jubilee ripens about four or five days ahead of
Carman, the latter variety at one time was of commer-
cial 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.
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 unani-
mously 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
given good results, therefore we all must congratulate
the New Jersey Experimental Station, New Brunswick,
N. J., for breeding and originating the Golden Jubilee.
Golden Jubilee—
sensational new variety
A Proven Money Maker
Last summer was a Banner Year for the
Golden Jubilee as it bore huge crops of
fancy fruit which sold at premium prices
on the markets throughout the United States.
Many fruitgrowers never saw the Golden
Jubilee until last summer on the City mar-
kets and all spoke of it with great praise and
pronounced it as the most outstanding and
the most profitable peach for the early sea-
son group of yellow, freestone fruit.
Fruit Is of Good Size
In most localities the fruit of the Golden
Jubilee will attain extra good size for an
early peach. One of its most remarkable
features is that it is very hardy in fruit bud
and withstood the bitter cold weather of last
winter aS good as any other variety known.
It is a cross between the famous Elberta,
and the hardy Greensboro, which is a very
early variety. Golden Jubilee, fortunately
through the cross, inherited the finest quali-
ties of both the Elberta and Greensboro.
RECOMMENDED BY HARRISONS’
Harrisons were the first nurserymen to give
Golden Jubilee wide publicity among the fruit
growers of America. We recommend to every
peach grower North and West of North Caro-
lina to plant 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 commercial plantings. Our
strain of Golden Jubilee is the original strain
being originated and introduced by the New
Jersey Experimental Station.
OTHER EARLY VARIETIES
Carman. Semi-freestone, medium size, being re-
markably 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 earliest varieties, also a sure
cropper.
Cumberland. White, semi-freestone, new variety
Pouce by the New Jersey Experimental Sta-
ion.
Eclipse. Yellow, freestone, new variety introduced
by the New Jersey Experimental Station.
HILEY (Hiley Belle). White, freestone, medium
size, high red color, very firm, beautiful red
cheek; flesh is white, fine, tender, very juicy,
highest flavor and an excellent shipper.
Tree is a strong grower, very healthy and an
extra heavy bearer—you can depend on Hiley to
bear heavy crops year after year. The marvelous
color and wonderful flavor have made it ex-
tremely popular on the markets. Hiley has the
stamina to withstand long hauls under refrigera-
tion in cars better than any other white peaéh.
° 6
For planting in orchards South of Pennsylvania
we can unhesitatingly recommend planting
Hiley—it is the best money making peach that
has ever been grown in the South. Hiley has
been very extensively planted, being among the
five leading commercial peaches of the United
States and in the South is next in importance to
Elberta. HARRISONS SUPER-STRAIN OF
HILEY is a bud selection improvement from the
original strain.
Mamie Ross. White, freestone, large, covered with
a beautiful delicate carmine—red blush; firm,
juicy, good flavor, excellent shipper. Mamie Ross
is about one-third larger and ripens two days
later than Carman, which it is replacing, as it is.
far superior.
SOUTH HAVEN. Yellow, freestone, large, hand-
some, uniform size, delicate flavor, ripens about
15 to 18 days ahead of Elberta. Tree is very
hardy, good grower and a consistent heavy
bearer, adapted to cold climates but will produce
bumper crops in mild climates. A new variety
which has been tested and proven and which we
recommend you to plant.
EARLY MIDSEASON VARIETIES
EARLY ELBERTA
Yellow, freestone, large, lemon yellow
with a dark cast, blush with vivid red,
beautiful appearance, high quality, being
somewhat similar to Elberta, although a
trifle better flavor; rich golden tender
flesh, yet firm and has a delightful flavor;
excellent for canning. MHardier in fruit
bud than Elberta, tree is a good grower,
bears very young and a heavy producer,
ripens about a week or ten days earlier
than Elberta and is being planted quite
extensively in commercial orchards; ex-
cellent home orchard peach. Due to its
earliness, and being Elberta type of peach,
it brings high prices on the leading
markets.
HALE-HAVEN. Yellow, freestone, large, high
red color, firm, good flavor, it takes on red
color early and the peaches show good red
color several days before ripening, which
gives it a distinct advantage for marketing.
Very hardy in fruit bud and a heavy bearer,
ripens about two weeks before Elberta. Hale-
Haven is a new variety, being a cross be-
tween the famous J. H. Hale and the well
known new variety, South Haven, being
originated by the Michigan Experimental
Station. 5c per tree extra.
Champion. 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 satisfactorily under refrigeration, but
as a home garden or a roadside peach, it is
one of the best. Tree is hardy, large grower
and productive.

BELLE OF GEORGIA (Belle)
——
Belle of Georgia—best white peach—marvelous flavor—
heavy cropper—dependable—popular
Prospers North and South
Few peaches are as well adapted to different
soils and climatic conditions as Belle of Georgia.
Although it originated in the South and still pro-
Guces large crops ior many Southern Orchardists,
it has been equally successful in the North and
West, and we highly recommend it as a profitable
L, a
Variety.
Withstands Coldest Winters
The tree is a strong grower with an open top:
very vigorous. Bears heavy crops when very
young, even ai three years. Tree is very hardy
in fruit bud and will bear a bumper crop of
peaches when other varieties will fail, after going
through a severe winter.
Plant Harrisons’ Super-Strain
Belle of Georgia Trees
in their commercial peach orchards
Over a long period of years. have grown a larger
humber of carloads and truck loads 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. consequently have developed
from the original strain which we received from
Mr. L. A. Rumph, Marshaliville, Georgia. origi-
nator 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. Elicit 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.
Finest Flavored Peach
Belle of Georgia excels all other varieties in
its supreme flavor for fresh eating at the time of
picking from the tree. The Belle of Georgia is
the most popular and preferred variety on account
Oi its exquisite flavor. For canning purposes the
Belle of Georgia is the best variety Known. even
though it is a white peach—as the general con-
sensus of opinion among housewives is that you
can only can a yellow peach. We suggest that
you try canning Belle oi Georgia and compare
it with other varieties—and in the future you
will demand Belle of Georgia for your canning
operations.
Harrisons,
MIDSEASON
Belle of Georgia (Belle). Ripens
early in August. Color creamy
White with ted cheek. Flesh is
white with some 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. It
is easily the best shipping white
peach of its season, ranking al.-
most With Elberta in this respect.
Because of its many desirable
qualities, it has become stand-
ard in the large commercial or-
chards, 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
producing records throughout the
East. It withstands sub-zero tem-
perature much better than most varieties in its
season. By bearing heavy crops When other vari-
eties were light, it has made its growers large profits
in the past years.
Best Peach for Home Gardens
Unlike certain varieties of peaches which are
desirable more because of their shipping quali-
ties than their taste. Belle of Georgia is known
to be excellent for home use. As it brings bet-
ter prices in the large markets because of its large
size, handsome appearance and its unexcelled
flavor, you will appreciate those qualities in your
home.
If 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 maiur-
ing before 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 three years numerous orchard-
ists 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 iruit-
buds to insure a commercial crop. These orchard-
ists were lucky in having Belle of Georgia as
they received high prices for their peaches,
making Belle of Georgia a good eash profitable
variety, whereas many other varieties Were a
failure.
Plant Belle of Georgia as an insurance that
you will have peaches every year, irrespective of
the winter and early spring weather conditions.
The Belle of Georgia is well Known on the lead-
ing commercial markets and all who have eaten
this marvelous peach are highly enthusiastic
about its flavor. Whether you are planting one
tree in your home orchard, or a large commer-
cial orchard, we certainly recommend you to
plant the phenomenal variety, Belle of Georgia.

Elberta the reputation of being a peach with-
out a peer and the variety which is always
in favor and strong demand with the buying
public, therefore demanding the highest pos-
sible market prices. Elberta is by far the
best canning peach.

H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, the or-
iginator of Elberta, from the original tree and

There are many different types of Elberta,
and the “Best Strain” is the cheapest and
most profitable in the long-time investment.
Recommend planting thirty-five per cent of
your commercial orchard to Elberta.

PRUNING NEWLY PLANTED
FRUIT TREES
The limbs of fruit trees should be
cut back approximately two-thirds
when planted. Remove all surplus
branches from the trees leaving three
to five - main branches as a basis for
the head. Always prune to an out-
side bud thus insuring outward
growth. By cutting back severely as
mentioned it will cause the trees to
put out a dense growth the first year
and will result in a much more satis-
factory tree. Trees that do not have
any side branches should be cut back
to a height of approximately 2 to 215
feet from the ground. With trees
that do have side branches, these
branches should be cut back to ap-
proximately two buds per stem.

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 appearance
when packed ring-faced in bushel and half-bushel baskets. The
Hale quickly made a national reputation and is a strong competi-
tor of the Elberta, being just about as good a shipper as Elberta.
BRINGS HIGHEST MARKET PRICES
Prices on J. H. 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 large
wholesale markets.
ORIGINAL STRAIN J. H. HALE
Our Hales are propagated direct from the original strain, the
variety being originated by the late J. H. Hale of South Glas-
tonbury, Connecticut and Fort Valley, Georgia, who at one time
was the Peach King of America. There are many types and
strains of J. H. Hale grown, but the only one worthy of com-
mercial importance is the original strain, which is the extra
large, round, highly colored peach. The original strain neces-
sitates cross-pollenization and it is necessary, for proper results,
to plant a few Belle of Georgia or Hiley along with Hale for
cross-pollenization.
The tree is somewhat dwarf, a moderate grower and should be
planted on the richest, best, well drained soil available. The J. H. Hale peaches often

LATE VARIETIES
Beer’s Smock. Yellow, freestone, large, oval, skin
orange-yellow mottled with red; high flavor.
Berk’s Favorite. White, freestone; new variety.
Fox Seedling (Fox). White, freestone, large; white
with whole side red, melting, sweet, high quality

Salberta. Yellow, freestone, large, being a satis-
factory cross between Elberta and Salwey.
Salberta inherited the size, quality and produc-
tiveness of Elberta, and inherited the lateness
in season of Salwey, making a fine combination
for a profitable late peach. This new variety is
being planted commercially more or less in
Ohio and Michigan.
VERY LATE VARIETIES
KRUMMEL’S (Krummel’s Late October). Yellow,
freestone, extra large, round, deep yellow with
a blush of carmine on the sunny side—fine flavor.
Good shipper, and ripens so late in the season
that it has not real competition on the market,
generally bringing satisfactory prices. If you
desire a real late peach, of good quality, then
there is none better than Krummel’s.
Salwey. Yellow, freestone, large, beautifully mot-
tled with red and a brownish cheek; the flesh is
yellow, firm, rich, juicy and sugary, and particu-
larly fine for canning and preserving. Generally
grown in the mountain districts, good shipper,
desirable for the fancy trade.
WHITE HEATH CLING (Heath). White, sometimes
called Mammoth Heath Cling, extra large, round,
with red blush, flesh is firm, white, exceedingly
juicy, and ripens fully to the pit. Favorite for
canning and pickling. Be sure to include in your
family orchard.

SUMMER VARIETY APPLES
YELLOW TRANSPARENT
Ripens extremely early.
Skin clear yellow. Flesh
slightly acid, is excellent.
Size medium.
This is the most pop-
ular early green apple
grown and has proven a
profit maker in a large
number of apple districts.
The Yellow Transparent
tree is very hardy, healthy
and somewhat of a dwarf
grower, bears when very
young and makes an ex-
cellent filler. We believe
there is a big future for
the grower who plants
this variety, we ourselves
anticipate planting sev-
eral hundred trees of
Yellow Transparent this
year.
Yellow Transparent
First on the Market
as it ripens early in July,
making excellent eating
apples and selling with-
out difficulty. There is al-
most no competition at
this time; Yellow Trans-
parent leads the field, and is eagerly sought
for by those people who find their “apple
appetites” impatient.
Yellow Transparent Trees Bear Early
and produce nearly every season. They are rather
dwarf growers, and may be planted a little closer
than most other varieties. A fine soil is not neces-
sary, Or even desirable, as the trees seem to grow
best on rather poor ground, such as hillsides and
uplands.
Yellow Transparent—Most profitable summer apple grown
Adaptability Is an Additional
Advantage
It thrives just as well in the South as it does
in the North. Most varieties are particularly well
adapted to a certain region, and, while they may
be grown elsewhere, are only at their best when
grown in the prescribed region. Yellow Transpar-
ent is extremely successful in Georgia, and does
equally well in Canada.
OTHER SUMMER VARIETIES
Benoni. Orange-yellow—lively red, productive.
DUCHESS (Duchess of Oldenburg). Medium size, red
striped, flesh white, juicy and good flavor. Unusually
heavy bearer, very dependable cropper. You can de-
pend 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 cook-
ing and dessert fruit. Tree is a vigorous grower and
bears early and regularly.
Early Mcintosh. Red, attractive, good size; flesh white,
fine, tender, juicy and fine flavor, being similar 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.
Milton—A very handsome new apple of the McIntosh
type. Fruit a beautiful pinkish red with tender,
crisp, white flesh of excellent flavor. Trees hardy
and vigorous. Ripens a month ahead of McIntosh.
Red (small 1 yr. trees only).
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. Tree
very hardy, vigorous and a good heavy bearer every
other year.
Red June (Carolina Red June). Medium size, conical,
dark red, juicy, fairly good flavor, very productive.
Starr. Large, attractive with bright yellowish smooth
skin; sometimes marked with a faint blush and nu-
merous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very tender,
crisp, juicy, aromatic and of extra fine quality, bring-
ing highest prices. Recommended to those with
nearby markets, but a poor long distance 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.
Wilson Red June. Fairly large, red; good quality.
Popular in New Jersey.
WILLIAMS EARLY RED. Medium to large size, bright,
rich red; fiesh is crisp, tender, juicy and sub-acid;
good quality. Its bright, attractive red coloring,
with satisfactory size and firmness, makes the Wil-
liams Early Red the most popular summer variety
grown, and always in strong demand with exceed-
ingly high prices. It is ready for market just about
the time people are growing 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 Eng-
land States and Canada. All commercial orchards
should inelude Williams Early Red.

AUTUMN VARIETY APPLES
GRIMES GOLDEN
Grimes Golden—the best yellow apple
Use Grimes as a Filler
It comes into bearing before most of the
permanent trees and will help to bear the
orchard expenses before the other trees pro-
duce any fruit. Blossoming rather late in
the spring, the late frosts seldom do any
harm, and the tree is able to set fruit nearly
every year.
If the fruit is carefully packed in boxes,
instead of barrels, the sale will be greatly
increased, as the customer will find the
golden color and attractive aroma too tempt-
ing to pass by. The smaller package helps
the sale, as it is easy to say “Send home a
box,” whereas if they are packed in a barrel,
there is some indecision on the part of the
buyer as to just how many apples he needs.
Ripens fairly late. Skin
golden yellow. Flesh yel-
low. Flavor rich and spicy;
slightly acid.
Grimes Golden holds a
reputation away ahead of
most fall apples because of
its appearance and flavor.
It is not unusual for Grimes
to bring from 50 to 75 cenis
more per bushel than other
apples.
The Flavor Is Excellent
and many people feel about
this apple as others do
about Golden Bantam
corn: “It’s worth the dif-
ference at any price.” The
result is that it brings
higher prices, which means
more money in your pocket.
In the vicinity of Phila-
delphia, Grimes will be
ready for use some time
in September, but unless
prices are exceptional it should be left on
the trees until somewhat later, as the
flavor will be considerably improved.
A Home and Markei Variety
Grimes has the great advantage of being
as good for the home as it is when intended
for long shipment. It cannot be surpassed
for cooking or table use. The Keeping qual-
ities are good; the quality of the fruit will
be found unimpaired in January and Febru-
ary. It makes no difference whether you are
after a strictly high-class market trade or
desire just a few trees for your garden, you
should plant Grimes.
OTHER AUTUMN VARIETIES
Gravenstein. Extra large, perfect in form and
handsome in coloring—orange-yellow overlaid
with broken stripes of light and dark red; flesh
is yellowish, firm, crisp, tender, juicy, fine flavor.
Good for cooking, extra vigorous tree, comes into
bearing rather early and bears profuse crops
regularly. Grown most extensively in California
and commands good price.
King David. A beautiful deep dark red apple, re-
sembling Jonathan as to size and shape, but not
quite as good fiavor. Splendid shipper and
keeper. Tree hardy, and comes into bearing
young. _
King (King of Tompkins County). Extra large,
very red, with a tint of yellow, flesh yellow. crisp,
juicy, sub-acid, good quality. Tree slow grower
and not 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
characteristics. While not equal to McIntosh in
quality, the quality is good. The season of Lobo
begins a little earlier than McIntosh, but it Keeps
about as long. The earlier coloring enables
growers to pick Lobo in advance of McIntosh.
It hangs on the tree better than McIntosh.
Maiden’s Blush. One of the most beautiful; pale
lemon and crimson cheek; fiesh white, tender
and crisp. Tree vigorous and good bearer.

McINTOSH RED
An early winter variety
in New York, Michigan
and New England States.
An exceedingly valuable
hardy, attractive apple;
medium large size; nearly
covered with red. Flesh
white, fine, tender, juicy,
sub-acid and refreshing,
and generally considered
as the highest and best
flavored apple grown;
splendid appearance,
which sells it on sight. De-
mand always exceeds the
supply of McIntosh Red
and commands the high-
est prices of any apple
on the leading American
markets. The best box
and bushel apple grown,
and a good shipper. Mc-
Intosh Red is a Canadian
apple, keeps long, but is
mellow and good to use
from the time it is picked
and if kept in cold storage
until the next crop comes.
Tree is exceedingly hardy, vigorous, a
very prolific bearer, consistent bumper
crop producer, a sure annual cropper.
Comes into fruiting early. This splendid
apple can be grown from Nova Scotia
to North Carolina. Growers in New York,
New England, Michigan and Canada
have long grown McIntosh Red for big
profits. Ask any experienced apple
grower, if you are not acquainted with
Mciniosh Red—Highest favored variety grown—always popular
the McIntosh red, and he will praise it
as highly as we do. Visit our own bear-
ing commercial orchards of McIntosh
Red at Berlin. Plant this variety for the

Superior red strain
Keeping Qualities Are Good
Without much care, Jonathan may be
Kept until February, or possibly a Dit
later. When particular care has been
paid to the packing and selection of per-
fect fruits, it will be found a most de-
sirable variety for the Holiday season.
The deep red skin which verges upon the
purple where it has been tanned by the
sun, shows up to advantage in attractive
baskets. Perhaps because of its splendid
coloring, it makes a special appeal. In
any event, it has proven most popular.
JONATHAN
Late Fall
Skin is brilliant red. Flesh
white, juicy and fine grained. Size
runs medium to large.
Jonathan is well able to hold
its name high among the different
varieties which ripen at about the
same time. Its taste is excep-
tional; very few apples are able
to approach it in this respect, and,
in addition, you will find that
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 there-
fore do not enjoy real commercial
success. Jonathan in this sense is
exceptional, for it seems able to
stand much handling without ill
effects. The skin is thin but tough.
Trees Are Long Lived
although they bear fruit quite young. Jona-
than is more consistent with its crops from
year to year than many other varieties, as it
will produce good crops practically every year.
In the West, Jonathan has long been a stand-
ard commercial variety and has proven itself
to be one of the leading commercial varieties
of the East. Harrisons’ super-strain of Jona-
than has been produced by “bud selection,”’
being a very high, brilliant red color.
We highly recommend you to plant Jona-
than in a commercial orchard as well as your
home orchard.
YELLOW DELICIOUS.
A golden-yellow apple with characteristics
and shape of the well known Delicious apple.
This apple has a remarkably good flavor and
is popular during the fall and early winter
for fresh eating. The flavor and condition
of the fruit is at its best between late Sep-
tember and January. To many people the
exquisite flavor of the Yellow Delicious is
considered even better than that of the fa-
mous Delicious—the fruit of the Yellow
Delicious averages in size as large as the De-
licious.
Bears Bumper Crops
Even at Young Age
The Yellow Delicious tree is very thrifty,
hardy, strong, vigorous grower and is spe-
cially renowned for its heavy bearing at a
very young age. It is a prolific cropper and
is dependable as a good bearer each year.
The Yellow Delicious bears heavier and
larger crops annually than Delicious. On
account of its early bearing habits, we recom-
mend planting Yellow Delicious as a filler
variety along with other varieties in your
orchard of permanent trees. Of course, you
can plant the Yellow Delicious as a perma-
nent tree in your orchard, as evidently this
variety has the general appearance of being
long-lived.
Harrisons’ Recommend You to
Plant Now
The Yellow Delicious has been planted in
every apple district and its fruits are known
on the commercial markets where they bring
good prices.
The Yellow Delicious has proven itself
worthy as a commercial, as well as a good
home variety. We recommend your planting
Yellow Delicious on account of its high qual-
ity, being an extra heavy bearer, and produces
crops at an early age, thereby making it a
good money maker.

HARRISONS’ RED DELICIOUS
This apple was introduced by us several seasons
ago and since introduced it has been bought by the
tens of thousands by leading fruit growers through-
out the country. It is a bud sport found on a tree
located in one of our famous Delicious orchards.
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
buycrs 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 apvearance.
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.
Ideal for Home or Commercial Orchard
Harrisons’ Red Delicious is not only a commercial
apple but it is every bit as well adapted to the home
grounds. Whether you wish to plant a thousand
or if you have room for only one tree, Harrisons’
Red Delicious will give full value.
Starts Red Coloring During Early August
One of the unique features of our ‘‘bud sport”
selected strain of Harrisons’ Red Delicious is that ~
it starts to take: on bright red color during early
August and has sufficient color for United States
#1 grade for picking and shipment on the domestic
markets, as well as export, several weeks earlier
than Delicious.
The Harrisons’ Red Delicious is comparable, if
not superior, to any of the other several new
strains of Delicious as introduced, such as, Star-
king, Richared Delicious, Shotwell Red Delicious
and others. For several years we have sold Har-
risons’ Red Delicious trees at premium prices, but
this year we are giving our customers the benefit
and are selling at the same prices as other varieties

STAYMAN WINESAP
Stayman Winesap—the leader—best
Superior strain is a bright red type, almost 100% attractive
Red color when properly grown.
Eastern Growers Plant It Largely
in the new orchards, and they are men who
know what tree value is. They realize that
this apple will produce as good results as
many others, and do it on poorer ground.
Naturally, not so much capital is required
for the investment.
With the old Winesap, the fruit tends to
decrease in size as the tree ages; with the
Stayman it is generally as large and attrac-
tive as ever. It is a strong grower, comes
into bearing early, and is reasonably certain
ta produce good crops every year.
Siayman Winesap Is Always
Dependable
Many varieties of apple trees have a good
year and an “off year”; that is, they will give
a large crop one year and next season pro-
duce very little. While conduct of this sort
cannot always be blamed upon the variety,
since climate, temperature and other causes
enter into the question, yet Stayman Wine-
Sap seems to ripen a more uniform crop than
many of the others, and letters from our cus-
tomers inform us that the regularity of crop
is remarkable. This is naturally a valuable
qualification, and, in part, accounts for the
choice of many Eastern orchardists. The
taste and appearance tell the rest of the
story. For a pollenizer plant Grimes Golden.

A huge money maker
Winter. Dark red skin. Flesh
yellow. Medium to large.
It really doesn’t seem neces-
sary to describe this variety,
as the Winesap is known fa-
vorably -wherever apples are
sold. You can find people in
every locality who will buy
nothing else. Stayman Wine-
sap is larger than the original
_ Winesap and somewhat later.
It is also more prolific.
One of the most desirable
points about this tree is that
it does not require rich soil;
in fact, it seems to do best on
land that is dry and hard.
Many apples will do well on
ordinarily good soil, but there
are only a few varieties of
winter apples which show
A Real Preference for
Poor Soil
If you have a patch of land
which does not produce ac-
cording to your expectations,
and if your land suffers from
dry spells which do not permit
grain and vegetables to mature, try an acre
of Stayman Winesaps. They will convince
you that your land has a decided value—
but it must be planted to the right crop.
Harrisons’ Superior Strain Is Best
We have in our own commercial orchards
several thousand trees of Stayman Winesap
and we have selected for our parent trees the
finest, deepest colored, being annual bear-
ing trees. We feel confident that our select
super strain is far superior to several new
strains that are being offered by some nursery-
men. Play safe—plant Harrisons’ time-tried
and proven strain of Stayman Winesap.
Stayman Winesap Is the Most Popular
Eastern Apple
During the past ten years the popularity of
the Stayman winesap has risen by leaps and
bounds, and the buying public has now re-
alized that this is a premier variety of par
excellence.
Stayman Winesap is the best general pur-
pose apple grown in any apple district. You
can always sell Stayman for good prices and
there is always a buyer for this famous variety.
The general average selling price for Stayman
Winesap during the past ten years has been
very high, practically at the top.
Stayman Winesap will always reap hand-
some cash profits.

plant. Good, hardy, strong grower; blooms late;
bears heavily every year; is adapted to a wide
range of soils, elevations and conditions. Re-
liability, due to being frostproof, strong growing,

- RED ROME
An improved Rome Beauty,
identical in vigor and produc-
tion. Color of fruit much
darker and solid red. Produces
much higher percentage of
fancy apples and also superior

tree being a vigorous, strong
grower, exceedingly hardy.
Harrisons’ strain of Red

The apricot is one of the most delightfully

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.

Finest Pear Grown
For home, for canning, for market, the best.
A golden-colored pear, with a red cheek on
most specimens. Bartlett mellows and is ex-
cellent for eating very early in the fall, yet
when picked a week before it is ripe and prop-
erly 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.
Bears Early
Bartlett trees bear early, produce enormous
crops, and are not nearly so subject to damage
by insects and disease as some other sorts. The
trees do especially well with high culture.
Fancy Fruits—Bring Highest Prices
Bartlett pears always sell on the market 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 fruit can be sold with-
out wrapping, in small baskets or boxes.
Clapp’s Favorite (Clapp). Very large, long, lemon-
yellow with brown dots; richly flushed with rus-

buttery, juicy, with a rich, sweet, delicate, vinous
flavor. Thrives where other varieties fail. Tree

OPPORTUNITY IN GRAPE GROWING
Grape vine production has long been a specialty
with us and many of the largest and most
profitable vineyards in the country were planted
with vines grown in our nurseries. The soil on
which our vines are grown is especially adapted
to root growth. Our propagating stock is select-
ed from healthy, vigorous, heavy bearing vines.
This results in a vine that will give 100 per
cent satisfaction in your vineyards.
GRAPE VINES ARE PROFITABLE
The increasing demand for grape juice and
other extracts makes this a big money crop for
the farmers. Get your vineyard started now

PLANT RASPBERRIES for Quick Profits
LATHAM
THE BEST RED RASPBERRY GROWN
Although this is a comparatively new variety it is
entirely past the experimental stage, and we unhesitat-
ingly give Latham to Harrisons’ customers as one of the
very best Raspberries ever grown. This variety orig-
inated at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm and
is being grown extensively in raspberry - producing
regions. The sensational yields of this variety have
attracted the attention of growers everywhere, and
everyone who has given it a trial are praising the many
unusual features they have found in Latham. After
thoroughly testing Latham we find it a remarkable
variety in every respect and you will be both delighted
and surprised after giving it a trial.
Tremendously Productive—Large Berries
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 Cuth-
bert and is immensely productive. Covers a longer
fruiting season than any other Raspberry. The ber-
ries are beauties and will cause a sensation wherever
they are shown. Many of them are over an inch in
diameter and they hold this size to the end of the
season. Color a dark rich red, quality of the best with .
full raspberry flavor.
OTHER RED RASPBERRIES
CHIEF. A new red raspberry that is destined to chal- St. Regis. This variety is by far the pest as etre
lenge the supremacy of Latham. This berry was type. There is a big demand for this fine fruit in the
; late summer and fall, and many growers make ex-
originated by the Minnesota State Breeding Farm
Latham
ceptionally large profits when grown for markets.
and has been given rigid tests over a wide area.
It has proven hardy, resistant to disease, a heavy
cropper of large excellent quality berries that will
withstand shipments to market.
CUMBERLAND
MOST POPULAR BLACK RASPBERRY
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 such 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 tremendously 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. Is an outstanding new Black Raspberry va-
riety; probably its two most noteworthy characteristics
are that it ripens about a week earlier and is more re-
sistant 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. ‘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.
- 26 =
eee
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’ Dependable SMALL FRUITS
ELDORADO

The heavy producing quality of Eldo-
rado has placed it first among black-
berries. Every good quality possessed by
other blackberries is emphasized in Eldo-
rado. Its berries are of enormous size,
shiny jet black, sweet pleasing flavor.
For Home or Commercial Planting
It is valuable for all purposes, both
home and commercial, being so firm that
it will remain in good condition for three
and four days, and can be sent to distant
markets where it always commands the
highest price. This variety is making big
money for other growers and it will do
the same for you.
OTHER BLACKBERRIES

that has given good results wherever
planted. Immense sized berries practically
coreless, heavy producers and very hardy.

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

ASPARAGUS IS A PROFITABLE CROP
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 generous supply and when
properly set and cared for will last a lifetime.
The Famous Mary Washington—Plant
This Pedigreed Sirain
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. Depart-
ment of Agriculture and although it is just a recent
introduction it has become famous the country
over.
Rust Resistanti—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 productive than any other variety
and more highly immune to rust, which means
that one planting will produce profitable crops for
many years.
Large—Early—T ender—Juicy
Asparagus buyers now demand Mary Washington ~
and are willing to pay fancy prices to get it. The
demand for Mary Washington is tremendous be-
cause when it is once eaten, no other variety will
give satisfaction. The stalks are purplish green
Mary Washington Asparagus—sensa-
tional new variety which has greatly
outclassed all others
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 everywhere.
Spring is the best time to plant as soon as
the soil can be worked into good condition.
Dig or plow a trench ten inches deep, place
the plants in this trench and spread the roots,
then cover with two inches of soil, when the
new growth comes through fill in two more
inches and continue until 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 wich
the rows four feet apart. Cultivate and hoe
frequently.
Commercial Planters Prefer 1-Year Roots
The majority of commercial growers of
asparagus prefer one-year roots, they cost
less and are much easier to plant. By liberal
application of fertilizer and manure heavy
yields of asparagus can be had after one or
two years.
Plant Harrisons’ Pedigreed Roots
We have made a specialty of growing as- —
paragus roots for over forty years and have
supplied plants for some of the finest aspara-
gus 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 Roois for
Home Gardens
Experience has taught us that two-year
roots give better. results.for garden planting
than one-year roots. The two-year roots are:
much larger and have more stored food stored
up which causes them to make more growth
and yield larger crops of asparagus sooner
than the one-year roots.

STRAWBERRIES PAY
Harrisons’ Plants Give Big Yields of Fancy Fruits
DORSETT
Most Outstanding Early Strawberry
Ever Introduced
A product of the master plant breeders
of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Al-
though only introduced a few years
it has been widely planted in every
strawberry producing region in the coun-
try and proven to be an outstanding va-
riety. Ripens same time as Premier.
Large Fruit—Vigorous Grower
—Heavy Crops
Dorsett berries average large size, con-
siderably larger than the Premier, in fact
their size is comparative with Chesa-
peake which is the outstanding late
berry. Plant growth is exceedingly vigor-
ous being far more vigorous than most
other varieties. Dorsett yields large
crops of fancy light red berries, far su-
perior to any other variety ever intro-
duced.
Good Shipper—A Proven Profit Maker
Firm berries mean a good shipper and DORSETT
Dorsett has the ability to stand up when
shipped long distances. This variety has
a superb quality which is equalled only by Fairfax. sett is outselling other varieties on the city mar-,
Better quality means bigger markets. Already Dor- kets and soon as the buying public becomes better
acquainted with its qualities other varieties will
so wanting for a buyer.
PREMIER
King of the Early Berries
Too well Known to need much descrip-
tion. The standard early berry by which
all other varieties are judged. Holds all
records for Big Crops and Big Profits.
Premier has filled more crates, made
more dollars and brought joy to more
strawberry growers than any other va-
riety ever grown.
Adapted to All Soils—Heavy Yielder
It thrives on most any type of soil and
is a rampant plant maker. 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. For
home garden, local market, or for ship-
ping moderate distances it has out-
PREMIER classed all the older varieties.

FAIRFAX
BIG JOE
Ideal Midseason Berry
It is a worthy companion for Dorsett, Fair-
fax and Premier, the best early berries, and
Chesapeake the best late. When grown for
local or nearby markets where the shipping
distance is not too great, Big Joe is one of ©
the best moneymakers.
Large Yield—Fancy Fruit
Big Joe is a heavy producer of large bril-
liant red berries of extra fine flavor and is
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.
FAIRFAX
Dependable New Early Variety
Originated by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture and is destined to
become a favorite berry after it is better
known. Those who have had the privilege
of eating this berry are wildly enthusiastic
about it and say its eating qualities are far
superior to any other strawberry. Ripens
same time as Premier.
Produces Bumper Crops
Fairfax is a heavy plant maker and pro-
duces bumper crops of large berries. It is
one of the most productive strawberries
grown and is establishing a record-breaking
sale in the markets.
Supreme In Quality
Color is a deep full red, its rich sweet
flavor brings buyers back for more. Fairfax
berries are exceptionally firm, making it an
ideal shipper. Superior to all for home use,
equal to any for commercial planting.
OTHER EARLY VARIETIES
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.
Senator Dunlap. Big, uniformly shaped berries of
handsome dark red color. Suitable for home use
or market.
OTHER MIDSEASON
VARIETIES
Aberdeen. Midseason. A strong, vigorous grower,
under favorable conditions a very heavy yielder.
Fruit is only of fair quality, being somewhat acid.
Berry is larger than average, and fruit is light in
color which makes up a very attractive crate.
CATSKILL
li Climaxes All Midseason Varieties
This remarkable new variety is a scientific
cross between Premier and Marshall origi-
nated by the New York Experiment Station.
During the past few years it has been thor-
oughly tested in most of the eastern states
and growers are highly enthusiastic about it.
It ranks with Premier in regards to its adapta-
bility over a wide area.
Vigorous Grower—Highly Productive
Catskill is a very vigorous grower and pro-
duces well matted beds of healthy planis. In
production of berries it ranks at the top of
the list. One grower in our section last year
picked over 32,000 quarts off three acres. With
yields like this it is sure that the grower will
make large profits.
Large Attractive Berries
The berries of the Catskill are large to very
large size; they average just as large as the
well known Big Joe, but are produced in much
larger quantity. The color is somewhat lighter
than Big Joe, but the dark green cap makes
it more attractive in its package. The quality
of the berry is very good, much superior x
other sorts in its season.
Large Profit Maker
We advise every grower to try out the Cats-
kill and see just how it performs on his own
particular soil. We believe this new variety
will replace all the older midseason varieties
after it gets better known. With its tremen-
dous yield of fancy fruits the grower who
plants Catskill will make a good profit from
his berry crop.

a
CHESAPEAKE
The Favorite Late Berry
All growers seem to make money on this variety,
especially when grown under conditions suitable for it.
Chesapeake grows to perfection on most any highly
manured soil.
Very Large Berries of Supreme Quality
It is a good producer of very large berries that hold
their shape well until the end of the season. It does
not yield as many berries per acre as some of the early
varieties but the size and quality of its fruit enables it
to sell for a much better price which offsets this dis-
advantage. The berries are firm enough to ship to
distant markets and to arrive in first class condition.
An exceedingly valuable commercial berry but equally
adapted for home planting.
MASTODON
The Supreme Everbearer
No other everbearing strawberry grown is as
good aS Mastodon. This variety is a proven
success and has fruited berries continuously
throughout the season for hundreds of thou-
sands of strawberry lovers.
‘Loads of Big Berries in Three Months
Unlike the other varieties Mastodon begins
to bear big luscious berries three months after
planting and bears three big crops in eighteen
months. Customers have reported yields as
high as three quarts per plant the first fall.
Why Wait A Whole Year
Plant Mastodon this spring and grow your
own berries this summer and fall instead of
buying them. If you have more than you can
use they are easily disposed of in the nearby
community where they will always bring top
prices.
MASTODON EVERBEARER
CHESAPEAKE—greatest money
maker for a late variety
LATE STRAWBERRIES
Aroma. Clean, healthy, hardy growing plants,
does well-on most soils. Fruit large, deep
red, excellent quality for home use or
market.
Gandy. The favorite late berry in many local-
ities. 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 appearance and
quality offset this. Good for either home
use or commercial plantings.
LUPTON. A good late variety, large, mands
some, attractive berry commanding 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 extraordi-
narily good, the berries are medium to large
size, ideal for home use.
GEM
The New Everbearing
Sensation
This new variety was introduced a
couple of seasons ago and has been
planted in almost every section in the
East. It is Mastodon’s great rival and
will yield more in certain localities.
Gem is a vigorous grower and its ber-
ries are large in size.
Quick Profits With Gem
Gem will start to bear the first sea-
son planted and will bear large crops
until frost. These berries bring the
highest prices in the markets or on a
roadside stand. There is a great oppor-
tunity for making money by planting
Gem. Get your patch started this sea-
son, they will give you enough berries
for your own family and some to sell
to your neighbors or ship to the city
markets.
For prices of plants see page 29

Buxus Sempervirens
America’s Favorite Evergreen Shrub
SB
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 purpcoses. The plants will
adapt themselves to almost any situation and
climate, and by judicious pruning can be trained
to many forms.
Our Boxwood has deep glossy green leaves. They
are dense, compact specimens, having been sheared
many times. The leaves on this variety are small
and resemble the dwarf English Boxwood. This
variety is a dwarf grower, but it makes much faster
growth than the English Boxwood. For those who
want large Boxwood plants in a few years this is
the best variety to plant.

DWARF ENGLISH BOXWOOD
(BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS SUFFRUTICOSA)
A widely known and popular form of dwarf
boxwood. It has small deep green dense leaves
which hold their bright color throughout the
winter months. Suitable for very low hedges
and edgings, can be trimmed in various forms.
Easy to Grow
Dwarf English Boxwood is very easy to
erow and will thrive in most every type of
soil. After this plant once becomes estab-
lished it does not require any particular atten-
tion. It is practically immune from all
diseases and insects. Can be planted in the
full sunlight as well as semi-shady locations.
Large Specimen Plants Sell at
High Prices
Dwarf English Boxwood has been called the
“Century” plant by many people due to its
ability to live and grow for a hundred years
or more. A few years ago large plants were
eagerly purchased by estate owners at fabulous
prices, some plants selling for hundreds of dol-
lars. We have some extra good plants to offer
this season and we believe it would be a good
investment to plant out a few on your home
grounds.

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

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 eventu-
ally—as high as 120 feet sometimes—and does
well over nearly all the United States. Makes
splendid quick screens or quick shade. On
streets and in parks is extensively planted,
and is very fine.

or flowers is unattractive, and any house, no
matter how unattractive it may be, can be
made attractive and pleasing with a proper
planting. Many people forego the pleasure
of a beautiful exterior because it is so ex-
pensive that they cannot afford the layout.

HEDGE PLANTS
Harrison-grown Hedge Plants for Utility and Beauty
CALIFORNIA PRIVET
This is the universal hedge in
the East, a fact proving that
Privet has greater merit under
ordinary conditions for this pur-
pose 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 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
makes it useful for screening out
unsightly objects.

RED LEAVED BARBERRY
(BERBERIS THUNBERGI ATROPURPUREA)
A highly important introduction among shrubs, giv-
ing us for the first time a practical easily grown shrub
of medium height, with good, distinctly red foliage.
This must prove a boon to all types of landscaping.
where studied contrasts are to be worked out with
the shrub foliage depended on for colors. Red leaved
Barberry is an exact reproduction of the Japanese
variety in every way—habit, leaf-formation and fruit-
ing, but—whereas the original is a deep green from
spring until fall, this variety starts off in its first foli-
age a warm bronzy red; the heat of summer intensify-
ing 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.

JAPANESE BARBERRY
(BERBERIS THUNBERGI)
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 profu-
sion of bright red berries which remain
through the winter. This Barberry is with-
out 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 won-
derfully 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 intended. On account of
the dense and horizontal-growing branches,
the plants make a thick hedge.
