Plant Harrisons' Quality Plants for Profit and Pleasure 



Since 1884 we have experimented with strawberries, seeking the 

 perfect development of such varieties as would prove most satis- 

 factory both to commercial and home growers. Our soil and 

 climate of the Eastern Shore of Maryland makes it the ideal plant- 

 growing section of the United States. 



Our strawberry plants are recognized by authorities as standard. 

 The rich, fertile soil that is unequaled anj^'here and a mild winter 

 climate tempered by the Atlantic Ocean, give our plants a vigorous 

 growth and sturdy root systems, which assures their uninterrupted 

 growth after transplanting. 



We offer nothing except those varieties which have proven profit- 

 able to our customers. These varieties with a brief summary of 

 their outstanding features you will find on this page. 



Late Strawberries 



Premier. 



Early Strawberries 



BLAKEMORE. The new early shipping berry that was devel- 

 oped by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has 

 been thoroughly tested in nearly all of the strawberry producing 

 centers and is rated as the best new berry in many years. Blake- 

 more is a scientific cross between Premier and Missionary, it 

 makes an even more vigorous growth than Missionary. We 

 believe it is the coming early berry to plant in those sections 

 which are distant from the markets. 



Klondyke. An old-time variety that has been grown in the 

 Southern and Eastern States. At one time it was the most 

 profitable early berry, medium size, good quality, moderately 

 productive berry. 



PREMIER (or Howaxd 17). The most perfect early berry grown 

 today. It is in a class by itself, of all the early berries grown this 

 is the only one of any importance. Premier fruits extra early 

 when berries are selling at a high price. It is a big yielder of 

 big bright, red berries of fine flavor. Premier commences to 

 fruit extra early and can be picked over a larger period than 

 other early varieties. It thrives on most any type of soil and 

 is a rampant plant maker. The above characteristics, together 

 with its good keeping qualities, make it ideally adapted for 

 either commercial plantings or home use. Plant Premier for 

 Big Profits. 



Medium Early Strawberries 



MISSIONARY. Medium size, of good color and fine flavor. It is 

 extensively grown in the South because of fine appearance and 

 good keeping qualities. A good commercial or home berry. 



Senator Dunlap. Big, uniformly shaped berries of handsome 

 dark red color. Suitable for home use or market. 



Midseason Strawberries 



BIG JOE. The best midseason berry grown. It is a worthy com- 

 panion for Premier, the best early berry and Chesapeake the 

 best late. Big Joe is a heavy producer of brilliant red berries 

 of extra fine flavor and firm enough to withstand long shipments. 

 The plants are good growers and heavy yielders. This variety 

 succeeds on all types of soil, but does extra well when given good 

 care and fertility. Be sure to include some Big Joe in vour 

 planting this spring. 



Aroma. Clean, healthy, hardy growing plants, does well on most 

 soils. Fruit large, deep red, excellent quality for home use or 

 market. 



CHESAPEAKE. The favorite late berry with the majority of 

 growers. It is a good producer of very large berries of good 

 quality that withstand shipments to distant markets. All 

 growers s^em to make money on this variety when grown under 

 conditions suitable for it, on most any highly manured soil it 

 will grow successfully. We believe you cannot go wrong by 

 planting this one, its large crops of fancy berries will bring the 

 highest prices on the markets. Equally as good for home use. 



Lupton. A good late variety, large, handsome, attractive berry 

 commanding good prices on the markets. It is similar to Chesa- 

 peake in many ways and is not quite so particular about its 

 soil requirements. A favorite in many localities. 



Wm. Belt. An extra good quality late berry for home use or 

 market. Its flavor is extraordinarily good, the berries are med- 

 ium to large size, ideal for home use. 



Very Late Strawberries 



GANDY. The favorite late berry in many localities. Large size 

 and handsome appejirance make it command highest prices on 

 the market. Not quite as productive as some of the other ber- 

 ries, but its appearance and quality offsets this. Good for 

 either home use or commercial plantings. 



Everbearing Strawberries 



MASTODON. The best everbearing strawberry known. It pro- 

 duces a wonderful crop of full-sized berries the first autumn after 

 planting and follows it up with another heavy crop the next 

 summer and fall. With this variety you harvest three big 

 crops in the same time that is used to secure one crop from the 

 ordinary strawberries. Mastodon is a good grower and a big 

 producer of big, bright, red berries. The ideal berry for home 

 use. 



Note. — All the varieties of strawberries which we offer are self- 

 fruitful and do not require other varieties to pollinate them.
