HARRISONS' "BUD" SELECTED TREES FROM BEARBNG 

 ORCHARDS — YOUR BEST BET! 



Young fruit trees, budded from orchards in full fruit, are 

 definitely superior to any other method of propogation. Careful 

 examination and selection of healthy, heavily branched, heavy- 

 yielding trees are without question the best parent trees to 

 supply the buds for young tree inheritance. 



RESULTS — COME SEVERAL YEARS HENCE 



Nc one can measure in advance the future results of a newly 

 planted orchard. Several years must come and go before the 

 trees bear fruit. A good inheritance immediately qualifies as a 

 money-maker, fruit is large and true-to-name. Poor trees at any 

 price never give satisfaction. 



Fifty-six years of dependability and square business 

 dealings — finds Harrisons' today the best place in Amer- 

 ica to buy truly dependable trees. 



Millions of Harrisons' "bud" selected fruit trees 

 planted throughout the years are today the very backbone 

 of a profitable and dependable fruit business in all sec- 

 tions of the country. 



The Harrison Bros, extend to everyone interested in horticulture 

 a personal invitation to visit our nursery and orchard plantings. 

 Operating over five thousand acres of lond. 



Have you a copy of Harrison's first cotolog issued fifty-six yeors 

 It contained the best varieties of its time. 



Yet, today it would be obsolete. This is primorily due to the 

 cdvancenaent of the practical method of bud selection from trees of superior 

 strains and extra heavy bearing habits originated by Horrtsons, combined 

 with other propagation improvements fostered by leading horticulturists, os 

 well as Federal-State Experimental Stations. 



Apples, PeacheS/ Roses, etc. — yes! the entire list shows mar- 

 velous progress. An infinite number of new varieties, many of them super- 

 ior in strain, form, color and size await the planter. 



However, this abundance of new varieties has tended to confuse 

 the problem of selection. The Harrison organization have assumed the 

 responsibility of choosing the best, after careful scientific and practical 

 tests, thus avoiding those varieties that lack merit, that would produce un- 

 certain results, consequently protecting our customers. With this objective, 

 the Harrisons' hove discarded hundreds of varieties, both old and new, and 

 have limited ourselves to cataloging only the best in every group, from the 

 standpoint of performance and superiority. 



HARRISONS' Fruit Trees and Small Fruits are TRUE TO NAME, 

 earlier to bear, and yield larger crops because they are scientifically pro- 

 pagated from SUPER SELECTED STRAINS. Likewise, the parent plants used 

 for propagating our Ornamentals are of the finest types for their respective 

 varieties. 



We send you this catalog in the hopes that you will take ad- 

 vantage of our high quality nursery stock which we Qxe offering at unusually 

 low prices for ] 940. 



Appreciatively yours, 



HARRISON BROTHERS
