Apples 



Yellow Transparent. 



APPLES ARE THE BEST OF ALL FRUITS 



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 MAKE A SPECIALTY OF GROWING 

 APPLE TREES 



We have long specialized in the grwoing 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 tree. 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. 



GET YOUR ORCHARD STARTED NOW 



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.

Summer Varieties 



Benoni. Orange-yellow — lively red, productive. 



DUCHESS (Duchess of Oldenburg). Medium size, red striped, 

 flesh white, juicy and good flavor. Unusually heavy bearer, 

 very dependable cropper. You can depend on the Duchess to 

 yield apples you can sell for good prices. Trees are natural 

 dwarf growers and make fine fillers; require small root and branch 

 space. 



Early Harvest. Very early, not a good keeper; fruit medium 

 size, pale yellow, tender, juicy, sub-acid. Fine for home orchard 

 because of its merit as a cooking and dessert fruit. Tree is a 

 vigorous grower and bears early and regularly. 



Early Mclntoch. Red. attractive, good size; flesh white, fine, 

 tender, juicy and fine flavor, being similar to Mcintosh Red. 

 Tree vigorous, hardy, healthy and productive. 



Liveland Raspberry. Large, waxy white, marbled with crim- 

 son, flesh white stained with red, tender, poor quality. Tree 

 vigorous, early bearer. 



Red Astrachan. Medium size, yellow with dark red patches; 

 flesh decidedly acid and juicy; excellent for cooking, satisfactory 

 for home plantings, but on account of its poor shipping qualities 

 and irregular bearing not advisable for commercial orchards. 

 Tree very hardy, vigorous and a very heavy bearer every other 

 year. 



Red June (Carolina Red June). Medium size, conical, dark 

 red, juicy, fairly good flavor, very productive. 



Starr. Large, attractive, with bright yellowish, smooth skin; 

 sometimes marked with a faint blush and numerous russet 

 dots; flesh yellow, fine, very tender, crisp, juicy, aromatic 

 and of extra fine quality, bringing highest prices. Recommended 

 to those with nearby markets, but a poor long distance shipper. 

 Popular in Southern New Jersey. 



S' 



w 



Duchess of Oldenburg. 



Williams i<arly Red. 



Sweet Bough. Large, pale yellow; tender, sweet. 



Summer Rambo. Large yellowish green, splashed with red, 

 crisp and tender. Very good. 



WILLIAMS EARLY RED. Medium to large size, bright, 

 rich red; flesh is crisp, tender, juicy and sub-acid; good quality. 

 Its bright, attractive red coloring, with satisfactory size and 

 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.
