Harrisons' Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 



Peaches 



Quality Peach Trees 



Harrisons' peach trees are the best peach trees you can plant in 

 your orchard. Our superior Berlin climate and soil, plus Harri- 

 sons' methods of propagating, planting, budding, cultivating, spray- 

 ing, pruning, digging, grading and packing are what make the fine 

 trees. If we could get you to come to Berlin, we sould show you 

 all the details. If you cannot come and will send us your order, 

 we will stake our reputation on the promise that you will get the 

 very best trees that can be grown. 



BUDDED FROM BEARING TREES 



Our trees are budded direct from our own bearing orchards of 

 superior strains. They will come into bearing earlier, produce 

 larger crops and return the grower more profits than trees produced 

 by less up-to-date methods. The real worth of our peach trees is 

 proved best by many thousands of bearing peach orchards planted 

 with trees grown at Berlin. 



NOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT 



This year is the ideal time to plant peach trees; during the last 

 few years the number of peach trees planted has declined consider- 

 ably; this is going to result in a shortage of peaches and cause the 

 price of the fruit to jump to extra high prices. Take advantage 

 of the rock bottom prices that we are selling peach trees for and 

 plant an orchard this year; it will pay you a big profit.

Very Early Varieties 



Alexander. White, medium to large, greenish white, with deep 

 red flesh. Vigorous and productive. 



EARLY ROSE. White, cling, small to medium size, red blush, 

 sweet flavor. Tree is an average grower, but a verj' prolific 

 bearer. Georgia growers make astoundingly huge profits from 

 Early Rose, packing mostly in round half-bushel baskets and 

 six-gallon carriers; consequently this variety is being heavily 

 planted in Georgia. 



Greensboro. White, freestone, extra large for such an early 

 peach, and one of the handsomest, being a rich, yellowish white, 

 with crimson cheek; flesh is white, exceedingly tender and of fine 

 quality. Being somewhat tender, it requires extra care and 

 quick shipments, preferable for nearby markets. 



Majrflower. White, cling, small size with red all over. Limited 

 planting in Southern Georgia. 



RED BIRD CLING. White cling, extra large with a bright red 

 blush. The first peach of large size to ripen. Brings extra high 

 prices in all the leading markets. We highly recommend the 

 planting of this variety in localities within trucking distances of 

 the city markets. 



Triumph. Yellow, semi-freestone, medium to large size, dark 

 red coloring, excellent shipper. Generally planted in the colder 

 sections of the North. 



Red Bird Cling Peaches. 



Golden Jubilee Peach. 



Early Varieties 



CARMAN. Semi-freestone, medium size, being a remarkably 

 attractive and luscious Peach, oval-shaped, yellowish white with 

 bright red cheek; flesh creamy white, spicy and good flavor. 

 Tree is very hardy, strong grower and the heaviest producer of 

 the early varieties, also a sure cropper. Carman stands ship- 

 ping so well that it reaches the market in prime condition which 

 with its handsome appearance causes it to bring satisfactory 

 prices. 



Cumberland. White, semi-freestone, new variety. 



Eclipse. Yellow, freestone, new variety. 



GOLDEN JUBILEE. Yellow, freestone, ripening four or five 

 days ahead of Carman. Very attractive peach of good size and 

 fair quality. It withstands shipment better than most early 

 varieties. This peach has attracted much attention in New 

 Jersey where it was originated by the New Jersey Experiment 

 station. Where an early yellow freestone peach is desired we 

 would recommend planting this variety. Our strain is the 

 original, buds being cut from bearing trees in New Jersey. 



HILET (Hiley Belle). White, freestone, medium size, highly 

 red colored, very firm, being an exceedingly handsome creamy 

 white peach with a delightful red cheek; flesh is white, fine tex- 

 ture, aromatic, very juicy and of the highest flavor. Tree is 

 strong grower, very healthy and a marvelously heavy bearer. 

 Being an excellent shipper, with the stamina to withstand very 

 long hauls under refrigeration, together with its beautiful, most 

 appetizing appearance, and being easily attractively packed in 

 six-gallon carriers, bushels and half-bushels, along with its recent 

 high reputation and favor with the buying public, has made 

 Hiley a strong contender as the highest general averaged priced 

 peach. One of our customers who bought several thousand 

 Hiley trees from us a few years ago picked from this orchard 

 during 1929 over 80 cars of Hiley peaches, being properly sprayed, 

 thoroughly cultivated and with ample fertilizer, this insuring 

 only high-quality, machine graded, packed ring-faced in round 

 half-bushel baskets. United States Number One grade. Govern- 

 ment Inspected, were shipped during early summer, and the 

 general average on all cars of Hiley being more than SI, 100 

 net cash per refrigerator car f. o. b. Fort Valley, Georgia. This 

 same customer, who made the largest profit in his entire peach 

 career, bought approximately 15,000 peach trees from us again 

 in December, 1929, consisting of a large percentage of Hiley. 

 Many of our varieties are propagated direct from the original 

 strain, and Hiley being no exception, as our late Mr. George A. 

 Harrison cut the buds from the orchard of Mr. Eugene Hiley of 

 Marshallville, Georgia, the originator of Hiley, then known as 

 Early Belle, and later as Hiley Early Belle, now known as Hiley. 

 Our Messrs. Harrison have frequently visited Georgia and also 

 cut buds from trees being propagated direct from the original 

 strain of Hiley from the famous Hiley orchards of Rumph 

 Brothers of Marshallville, Georgia. Add Harrisons' Strain of 

 Hiley to your commercial plantings for real profit. 



MAMIE ROSS. White, freestone, large, white, covered with a 

 beautiful delicate carmine-red blush; firm, juicy, good quality, 

 excellent shipper, being the largest size early peach, ranging 

 about a third larger in size than Carman. Popular on the mar- 

 kets where known, especially New York City, sells at a premium 

 over any other variety ripening at the same time, generally at 

 very satisfactory prices. Mamie Ross is being planted in pref- 

 erence to Carman, ripens two or three days later than Carman, 

 but is far superior.
