Introductory 



HE planting of trees has everything to do with making a home. Ornamental trees mark 

 the difference between a "finished" and an "unfinished" property; fruit trees give it a 

 lasting value that money can scarcely measure. Every home needs both. 



For more than twenty years we have been steadily developing the tree-growing industry, 

 striving to make it more and more the science and profession that it deserves to be. We 

 contend that honorable business methods can be applied to tree-growing and -selling with 

 perfect success, and the steady growth of our business proves the claim to our entire satisfaction. 



Two features, we think, have contributed most to the building up of Harrison's Nurseries. These are 

 Quality and Service. The quality of our trees is proverbial. We have here at Berlin a favorable soil and 

 climate, and give our trees the most careful treatment to develop the proper growth — plenty of thrifty, 

 strong roots and a shapely, well-branched top. 



Service, as we apply it to the selling of trees, means rendering the buyer every possible assistance in 

 choosing the right kind of trees and plants for home grounds, orchard 

 or garden. Our long experience in the Nursery business enables us to 

 handle for you in a sensible, practical way, the problems that you have 

 to settle in selecting the right kinds of shade trees and plants for your 

 home grounds, or fruit trees for the orchard — whether you are buying 

 a half-dozen or a half-million. Remember the benefit of this service is 

 freely yours, whether you order from us or not. We are sure we can aid 

 you, and it will afford us pleasure to do so. 



You are cordially invited to visit us and see our Nurseries. There 

 are no secrets connected with our methods of growing trees and plants, 

 and we feel sure that you who come to see us and our 2,000-acre establish- 

 ment, will be well repaid for the trip. Our system of growing and grading 

 is so thorough that the purchaser who orders by mail from a thousand 

 miles away is as sure of getting "quality stock" as is the one who comes 

 to Berlin and picks out each tree for himself; yet many prefer to look 

 over the stock and choose for themselves. We assure these that they 

 will be made welcome and assisted in every possible way in making their 

 selections. 



Berlin is located on the peninsula of Maryland, at the intersection 

 of two railroads — the Delaware, Maryland and Virginia (a division of 

 the Pennsylvania system) and the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic. 

 The former affords direct communication with Philadelphia and New 

 York, while trains on the latter connect with steamer for Baltimore, 

 Washington and Norfolk. Seven miles to the east is Ocean City, Mary- 

 land's popular coast resort, which, with 

 its hotels and the various attractions 

 of the sea, draws many thousands of 



visitors each year. We trust that the combined advantages of our locality 

 will be sufficient to bring you to visit us during this season. When pos- 

 sible, we like to be notified in advance when visitors are coming, as we 

 are thus enabled to lay our plans to better advantage. 



Some Hints on Ordering and Planting 



Order at once. Do not wait until you are ready to plant. We shall 

 not ship, however, until the proper time, unless desired otherwise. 



Write your name and address plainly, giving shipping instruc- 

 tions, stating whether shipment is to be made by freight or express; 

 also name of freight or express office. Without instructions, we shall 

 ship as we think best. 



Gash must invariably be sent with order unless otherwise 

 agreed with firms having good bank reference. 



Remittance may be made by bank draft, express or post-office 

 money order, cash by registered letter or stamps for fractional parts of 

 a dollar. 



Special low express rates are granted by all express companies on 

 shipments of plants, which are carried at 20 per cent less than merchan- 

 dise of other character. We ship by Adams Express Company. 



No charges are made for packing and delivery to transpor- 

 tation company at prices given in this Catalogue. Where special quo- 

 tations are made, cost of the boxing and baling will be charged to cus- 

 tomers. We pack as lightly as is consistent with safe transportation.
