Harrisons' Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 



Apples 



Yellow Transparent. 



It is an established fact that the apple is King of all fruits. Its 

 period of ripening, unlike that of other fruits, extends nearly 

 through the year, and by proper storage methods you can eat 

 apples the whole year around. Experienced farmers and orchard 

 men agree that there is more money in growing apples than any 

 other fruit. 



We have long specialized in the growing of apple trees. In se- 

 lecting the most important varieties for cultivation, it has been our 

 constant aim to procure the better, more prolific bearing, earlier 

 coloring strains to use as our parent trees. In fact, we have thou- 

 sands of trees of these better types in our own orchards. We are 

 nurserymen as well as large commercial apple growers. This puts 

 us in a better position to know the needs of the fruit growers and 

 we produce the trees that meet the approval of the most critical 

 buyer. When planting Harrisons' apple trees you are planting 

 the best trees that are grown. 



This year the weather has been exceedingly favorable for the 

 growth of apple trees, along with the reductions in labor and the 

 lower prices of raw materials, we are able to offer the finest trees 

 we ever grew at the lowest prices in years. Take advantage of 

 the low prices this year and get your orchard started. Harrisons' 

 apple trees have brought success to thousands of growers and they 

 will do the same thing for you.

 crisp and tender. Very good. 



WILLIAMS EARLY RED. Medium to large size, bright,

 firmness, makes the Williams Early Red the most popular 

 summer variety grown, and always in strong demand with 

 exceedingly 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 England States and Canada. All commercial orchards 

 should include Williams Early Red. 



Wilson Red June. Fairly large, red; good quality. Popular 

 in New Jersey. 



YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Medium to large; cream and 

 yellow, tender, juicy, sub-acid, fragrant, good flavor. Tree 

 is very hardy, healthy, somewhat of a dwarf grower, bears 

 very young, fine as a "filler, and one of the few varieties that 

 grow and bear bumper crops in Canada as well as Georgia. 

 Yellow Transparent is the first commercial apple on the mar- 

 kets, and ripens when the demand for summer apples is extra 

 strong; consequently it always brings the best prices. There 

 is no competition on the large markets frcm other varieties, 

 therefore Yellow Transparent is eagerly sought, especially by 

 baking companies and hotels, as it is the best summer cooking 

 apple, with a normal limited supply. The prices are usually 

 the highest of any variety grown. Plant Yellow Transparent 

 and reap your share of the handsome profits.
