Loads of Big Berries in 90 Days 



Unlike the other varieties, Mastodon begins to bear 

 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 fail. 



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 

 ore easily disposed of in the nearby community, where 

 they will always bring top prices.

Chesapeake 



The Favorite 

 Late Berry 



BIG JOE 



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 ocre as some of the early varieties, but 

 the size and quality of its fruit enables it to sell for o much 

 better price which offsets this disadvantage. The berries are 

 firm enough to ship to distant morkets and to arrive in 

 first-class condition. An exceedingly valuable commercial 

 berry but equally adapted for home planting. We offer a 

 selected "Big Yield" strain.

A TypicoJ Bed From Which Our Big Yield Plants Are Dug 



[31] 



The Old Reliable 

 Midseason Variety 



LARGE YIELD — FANCY FRUIT— FINE FLAVOR 



Big Joe is o 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 yieiders. 

 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 locoiities. 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 

 attroctive "double red" color. They demand top prices 

 because of their appetizing appeal.
