Fra An amazing feature of the Rio-Oso-Gem is, it will take on a
good bright red color and yellow background two weeks befcre
\ ripening, and even ten days before actual ripening time the per-
centage of bright red color is decidedly more than most other
varieties. When Rio-Oso-Gem is ready to pick and ship it has prac-
tically a solid red color. There is no other Peach known that carries
such a high percentage of red color on the fruit as this marvelous
Rio-Oso-Gem.
EXPERT FRUIT GROWERS SAY 0. K.
Rio-Oso-Gem has now fruited in practically every Peach district
of the Union. Veteran Peach growers of the nation are loud in
their praise of this startling variety. Rio-Oso-Gem has passed the
experimental stage and proven an outstanding commercial variety
superseding the famous Elberta of the Victorian era.
BIGGEST PEACH ON EARTH
The Rio-Oso-Gem is a perfect freestone, form is globular, slightly
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

ripens about 10 days before Golden Jubilee.
“The most promising early ripening yellow
freestone Peach ever introduced. A cross be-
tween 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 RED HAVEN.
Supply of trees is limited—order early.
EARLY HALE-HAVEN
A bud sport of the well-known Hale-Haven, retaining
all its characteristics, such as large size, high red color
before ripening, extra fine flavor and yet ripening a week
earlier. Tests show it will keep as good as Hale-Haven.
A very promising new commercial variety. We recom-
mend every grower to plant a few trees so as to compare
its merits with other varieties ripening at the same time.
We are confident that you will like Early Hale-Haven and
that it will be a profitable Peach for you to grow. Plant

lf fruit trees are continuously propagated from the nursery rows, be-
cause it is cheaper, fruit trees begin to degenerate, and when the orig-
inal was a poor type, the nurseryman, without knowing it, continues to
reproduce poor, undesirable, small type fruit. Incidentally, in case there
was a mixture in the nursery rows, how could a nurseryman propagate

Commercial Peach Orchardists for a half cen=
tury have been looking for an early Peach of
high quality, yellow, freestone, with attractive

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 hardy —
in fruit bud and withstood ‘the bitter cold weather —
of last winter better than the average variety ots
Peach. It is a cross between the famous Elberta, —
and the hardy Greensboro, which is a very early
variety. Golden Jubilee, fortunately, through the —

Ripens early midseason, very large oval,

smooth, nearly fuzzless like J. H. Hale, one

Save Disappointment — Plant Only 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 various 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 50c to 75c
per bushel on the New York and other leading fruit markets.

THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR EARLY APPLES
PLANT BIG TREES FOR QUICK RESULTS
Yellow Transparent
Its a Summer Apple — First of the Year
Ripens Early, Skin Clear Yellow, Flesh White,
Flavor Slightly Acid, Size Medium
This is the most popular early green Apple —
grown and has proven a profit maker in a large
number of Apple districts. The Yellow Trans-
parent tree is very hardy and somewhat of a
dwarf grower, bears when very young and makes
an excellent filler. We believe there is a big
future for the grower who plants this variety;
we ourselves anticipate planting several hundred
trees of Yellow Transparent this year.
Yellow Transparent First on the Market
as. it ripens early in July, making excellent eat-
ing Apples and selling without difficulty. There
is almost no competition at this time; Yellow
Transparent leads the field, and is eagerly
sought for by those people who find their *’Ap-
ple appetites’’ impatient.
Yellow Transparent Trees Bear Early
and produce nearly every season. They are
rather dwarf growing,. and may be planted a
little closer than most other varieties. A fine
soil is not necessary, or even desirable, as the
trees seem to grow best on rather poor ‘ground,
such as hillsides and uplands.
’
Thrives in the South and North
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
Transparent is extremely successful in Georgia,
and does equally well in Canada.

Once Planted Lasts a Lifetime
Blueberries are not only the largest money makers of
all time commercially, but are also one of the easiest
fruits to grow. The berries bring up to 75c per quart—
$400.00 per acre the third year. They are exquisitely
mild, sweet and delicious and bring highest prices on the
market. The demand for Blueberries is practically un-
limited. A planting lasts a lifetime with proper care
and the plants will pay for themselves their first crop. A
few bushes planted in the shrub border and in the garden
will be sufficient to supply you with berries for years.
LEADING
BLUEBERRIES
Listed in Order of Ripening
_CABOT. Plants seldom exceed three feet in height and
make a broad, low bush. The color of the new growth
in winter is a light red over olive. The large berries
__have a delicious sub-acid flavor.
RANCOCAS. The bush of slender, vigorous, upright ‘habit
rarely surpasses five feet in height. The winter twigs
are a dark red. The berries are somewhat larger than
those of Rubel and begin to ripen several days earlier.
CONCORD. The bush is of upright habit and at maturity
exceeds six feet in height. The young growth is bright |
red in winter. The berries are large, frequently reach-
ing three-quarters of an inch in diameter. They usually
ripen a few days earlier than Rubel and are fine in
flavor and appearance.
_RUBEL. A vigorous, productive variety. Well developed
bushes stand six feet high and the winter color of the
young wood is a rich red. The large berries of fine
color are usually ready to pick the first week in July.
Best commercial variety.
JERSEY. The bush is of vigorous habit and grows very large.
The winter color of the young growth is a light red over
golden brown. The berries are the largest of any here listed,
light blue and ripen about the same time as Rubel.

Unlike the other varieties, Mastodon begins to bear
fuscious 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 Harrisons’ “Big Yield’’ 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.

The Favorite
Late Berry
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
ss
|\ 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 disadvantage. The berries are
firm enough to ship to distant markets and to arrive in
first-class condition. An exceedingly valuable commercial
berry but equally eas for home planting. We offer a
selected “Big Yield!’ strain.

LARGE YIELD—-FANCY FRUIT—FINE FLAVOR
Big Joe is a heavy producer of large, brilliant red berries
of extra fine flavor and is firm enough to withstand long
shipments. The plants are good growers and heavy yielders.
LUSCIOU
‘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. Our big yield strain
insures big crops.
| CATSKILL
_A midseason berry that will produce the largest crop of
bigger berries of any midseason variety we know. Catskill is
entirely satisfactory as to firmness, quality, color and at-
tractiveness, season of ripening and climatic adaption. The
highest record of marketable berries was made with this
variety. In shipping respects it ranks with Chesapeake and
Lupton. It is rated equally as attractive as Fairfax or Dor-
sett. The berries are borne on rather long fruiting stems
which makes it easier to get at in picking.
TWO GOOD LATE VARIETIES
GANDY. The favorite late berry in many localities. Large
size and handsome appearance make it command highest
prices on the market. Not quite as productive as some
of the other berries, but its appearance and quality offset
this. Good for either home use or commercial planting.
LUPTON—A Table Delight. The heaviest sales are made in
Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, West Virginia and
Ohio. A favorite for years, because of its large size and
attractive “‘double red’ color. They demand top prices
because of their appetizing appeal.

which means many cuttings.
We Recommend Two-Year Roots
Experience has taught us that 2-year roots give better
results 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. For home gardens use 3-year jumbo roots
for quickest results.
Plant Harrisons’ Pedigreed Roots
We have made a specialty of growing Asparagus roots for
over forty years and have supplied plants for some of the
finest Asparagus beds in the country. The growing, handling,
and shipping of millions of Asparagus 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

CUMBERLAND
The Mest Popular Black Raspberry
Midseason to late. This is the most popular Black-

of the Raspberry family, and is of such handsome
appearance that it is sure to bring the top prices on
= the market.

most noteworthy characteristics
are that it ripens about a week
earlier and is more resistant to
the virus diseases. A very pro-
ductive variety and fruit of good
size and quality. If an early
berry is desired, it is one of the
best. It does not crumble.
SHUTTLEWORTH. An_ outstanding
new black variety which is a de-
cided improvement over the well-
known commercial variety, Plum
Farmer. Earliness in season and
heavy bearing were the charac-
growers, and its offspring, the
Shuttleworth, inherited these same

The new Boysenberry is truly a glorified Young-

the tremendous large size of the berries; because
of its very prolific fruiting; and lastly, because
we think that it has the highest qualities of all
bramble fruits.
They are just as easy to grow-as blackberries.
They produce a larger crop, not because there are
more berries, but because each berry is so much
larger. Has a rich, tangy flavor all its own.
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY
Long, mammoth black berries, recognized as
the leading variety. Incomparably better in every
way than any blackberry you have ever seen or
tasted. Lucretia is a very early bearer, ripening
from a week to ten days before even the earliest
blackbrries. Big, uniform size makes them top-
notchers in price on any market. For real profits -
and for home and commercial growing, Lucretia
is the only variety of importance.

This Evergreen is the aristocratic member of the Yew family.
It grows tall and narrow with stout, crowded branches and
spirally arranged leaves which are dark green in color. This
Yew is very scarce, but everyone who sees it is enthusiastic
about it. Formerly it was imported from Europe, but after all
importations were discontinued by the Federal Government,
American nurserymen were unable to supply their customers.
Fortunately, we had some,specimen plants in our nurseries
from which we were able to propagate.

HICKS’ YEW (Taxus Cuspidata Hicksii). Another columnar
form of Yew that is very similar to the Irish Yew, but is a
much faster grower. The branches ascend almost vertically
generally growing with many stems. Its rich dark glossy
green makes it much more attractive than Arbor-vitaes or
Junipers. We can unhesitatingly recommend it for planting
in all sections. It has proven to be perfectly hardy. If ex-
tremely narrow effect is desired it can be obtained by trim-
ming the sides of the plant when it is small. This variety ts
extensively used for making high class evergreen hedges.

Grows 20 Feet in Four Years
Because of its beauty and extremely rapid growth, Chinese
Elm has become a leading shade tree of America. It is planted
in every state, and like its native country of Korea, withstands
intense cold and extreme heat. It makes excellent shade in
five short years, averaging about 5 feet growth annually. lt
is by far the fastest growing hard-wooded shade tree. It
resembles the American Elm except the leaves are smaller,
with the gracefulness of a cut-leaf Birch.
SILVER MAPLE
(Acer dasycarpum). The name comes from the color of
leaves. Underneath, these are the same shade as new, bright
silver; on top they are light green. Many of them are carried
on their edges, and when wind blows the trees are alive with
silver and green flashes. In the fall the leaves fade to pale
yellow. Growth is faster than that of any other Maple.
AMERICAN ELM
(Ulmus americana). A noble native tree of great size,
wide spreading, gracefully curving branches, growing up in a
form like the outline of long-stemmed flowers in a tall vase.
