Harrisons' "Bud Strains" 



Some sixty years ago, and almost every year 

 since, Harrisons' have planted orchards, not 

 alone for fruit but principally to secure the type 

 of parent fruit tree that was characteristic of o 

 "variety" dominant in bearing qualities coupled 

 with health, vigor and ability to withstand 

 changeable climatic conditions. This type of tree 

 became the parent supplying the budding stocks 

 for future orchards in America and true-to-name 

 varieties were assured.

This is Your PROTECTION 



Every customer is assured of Harrisons' Hj- 

 Quality Trees and Plants at all times. Expert 

 growing on proper soils, careful digging and 

 pocking is Harrisons' policy on every order. 

 Every tree and plant we ship is guaranteed to 

 be strictly first class, free from injurious dis- 

 *eases and insects and to reach you in good con- 

 dition. 



Any time trees or plants are received that do 

 not meet these standards they will be replaced 

 free of charge or your money refunded. 



Continued growth depends on soil, weather 

 conditions, planting and after care. After ten 

 days it is mutually understood that the nursery 

 stock is satisfactory; however, we will replace 

 nursery stock that dies from unavoidable causes 

 at half price, if notified within two months after 

 its arrival.

For sixty-seven years the business of the Harrisons' has been to grow Fruit 

 Trees, Roses and Ornamental Nursery Stock, also commercial fresh fruit growers 

 — this business has grown and developed only though a thorough understanding 

 of the science of horticulture in all its phases with practical use. 



Now when you buy nursery stock — remember all of it is a living plant — the 

 pedigree, or parents, play an important part in the future results of the very tree 

 ycu buy — the "hidden value" is the inborn inheritance that becomes the final 

 quality, type, strain, size, color and productiveness so necessary in the future 

 performance — and right here is the very feature which makes HARRISON 

 grown nursery products have superior merits. 



HARRISONS' Fruit Trees and Small Fruits are true to name, earlier to bear, 

 and yield larger crops because .they are scientifically propagated from SUPER 

 SELECTED STRAINS. Likewise, the parent plants used for propagating our 

 Ornamentals are of the finest types for their respective varieties. 



In closing, may we personally take this opportunity of thanking our many, 

 many customers for their continued confiaence, for which we are sincerely grateful. 



Sincerely yours,

MARVELOUS NEW 



Earliest Ripening Yellow Freestone Peach 

 Genuine 



Shinn's Delicious 



Trade Marked 

 Trees Crown and Sold Only By Harrison Bros. Nurseries 



A true mutation, being very early ripening budsport strain of Burbank July Elberta, U. S. 

 Plant Patent #15, discovered by Mr. C. T. Shinn and Mr. L. S. Smith in their orchard near 

 Russellville, Arkansas. Identical in large size, beautiful red color with handsome golden 

 yellow background color, yellow flesh, freestone and superior flavor as its parent, however, 

 its most appealing characteristic is that it ripens three weeks sooner, between Red Bird 

 and Red Haven, making it about five weeks earlier ripening than Elberta. Every peach grower 

 should make a planting of Shinn's Delicious this year. We know you will want more of them 

 when you see the fruit. Shinn's Delicious (Trade Marked) is an exclusive Harrison variety 

 and only genuine Shinn's Delicious trees can be obtained from Harrison Brothers Nurseries, 

 Berlin, Maryland. Many growers say it is better than Starking Delicious peach U. S. plant 

 patent #806.

BURBANK JULY ELBERTA 



U.S. PLANT 

 PATENT NO. 15 



The Outstanding Medium Early Commercial Peach 



Here is the peach that has caused a sensation wherever fruited. Growers in many 

 sections say it is their best medium early, yellow, freestone peach for shipping, 

 local markets and home use. Beautiful golden yellow, almost completely overspread 

 with brilliant red. Ripens about the same time as Hale Haven, but on account of its 

 vivid red color and yellow background with no green color, it can be picked for 

 commercial shipments about four days sooner. Excellent in flavor, even superior 

 to Hale Haven for fresh eating, freezing and canning. Hardy, sure cropper, large 

 size, a sensational money maker. July Elberta is known by different names, such as 

 Burnett Elberta, Burbank July Elberta, Kim Elberta, Burbank Elberta. We offer an 

 outstanding strain selected from bearing trees. Season of ripening about two weeks 

 sooner than Elberta (Original Strain).
