• Healthy — Vigorous 



• Disease free 



• Hardy 



• Properly hardened off before digging 



• Propagated from bearing trees of selected 

 strains 



• Come into bearing earlier 



• Yield bigger crops of better fruits 



• Have larger roots 



• Take hold quickly in new locations 



• The best trees for less money 



MONEY IN FRUIT GROWING 



Leading Orchardists Prefer Horrison Grown Fruit Trees 



Alive Healthy Fruit-Bearing Trees Depend on the 

 Heredity 



Many, many years ago the Harrisons introduced a new method of 

 propagation that was later to revolutionize the industry. Seeking out 

 a better method of propagation in the interest of securing dependability 

 in true-to-name varieties, we selected new budding stock from our own 

 orchards, taking only those trees that were stamped 

 "super-quality." 



These new bud selections of known origin were later to 

 become new orchards, and so through a desire to make 

 more profits, we were able to help our fellow orchardists 

 in cashing in on our experience. 



You Pay No More for Harrisons' 

 "Bud-Selected" Trees 



The "bud-selection" method to propagate fruit trees is 

 very expensive — but whatever the expense they are the 

 trees that give satisfaction. 



With 1750 acres of bearing orchards and a trained 



organization operating twelve months a year, we are 



organized on a large production basis, which reflects 



lower prices both for the commercial grower and the 

 home owner.

TODAY FRUIT GROWING is making inroads on 

 the big farms — little orchards lead the way to o 

 profitable and worth-while fruit market. 



Dependable Nurserymen Propagote 

 from Bearing Orchards 



If fruit trees are continuously propagated from 

 the nursery rows, as practiced now by a large per- 

 centage of nurserymen, because it is cheaper, fruit 

 trees begin to degenerate, and when the original 

 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 pro- 

 pagate true-to-name trees successfully. We are 

 orchardists and nurserymen, and nothing can com- 

 pare with our own scientific method of "bud 

 selections" — it always gives complete satisfaction 

 and spells profit for the fruit farm. 



Harrisons' "Bud Strains" 



Some fifty 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 a 

 "variety" dominant in bearing qualities coupled 

 with health, vigor and ability to withstand change- 

 able climatic conditions. This type of tree became 

 the parent supplying the budding sticks for future 

 orchards in America and 

 true-to-name varieties were /f 5 Slower

But this personal- 

 ized way of select- 

 ing buds from trees 

 in fruit, is to know 

 definitely the par- 

 entage of your fu- 

 ture orchard. 



Northern Growers take no risk in buying Harrisons' Superior 

 Fruit Trees, Berry Plants and Ornamentals. 



We absolutely guarantee Harrisons' Berlin-grown fruit trees, 

 berry plants and ornamentals, variety for variety, are as hardy 

 as any stock grown in any locality north of us.
