Fruit Trees, Shade Trees and Shrubs 

 Each Have Their Uses 



Fruit trc'os make prosperous farmers. Shade trees and 

 shrubs are necessary to complete the beauty of the suburban 

 and country home. 



But neither fruit trees, shade trees nor shrubs would be ob- 

 tainable if it were not for the nurseryman — the man whose 

 life is given up to the task of growing and propagating them — 

 keeping the stock pure, developing new varieties, working 

 hand in hand with Nature to keep mankind provided with 

 fruit, shade and beauty. 



We Americans are learning to eat more and more fruit each 

 year — yet there are fewer fruit trees growing today than there 

 were twenty years ago. If the growing demand for fruit is to 

 be met. there must be many thousands of new trees set out in 

 Maryland alone each year for many years to come. 



We have in our Berlin nursery more than one thousand acres 

 in fruiting orchard — every tree a fine representative of one of 

 the best selected varieties. Each year we increase our acreage. 

 Each year we improve the quality of our stock. 



We have .spent the better part of a lifetime in the study of 

 methods which will make it possible for the man of little ex- 

 perience to plant and care for a commercial orchard so that it 

 will yield a profit. Our experience is at the service of our 

 patrons. We realize that our customer.^ must prosper — other- 

 wise we will not. .So our first sale of trees must bring us 

 other sales to the same customer and to his friends. If it does 

 not, we feel that we have failed to do our part. 



It pays to know the nurseryman from whom you buy your 

 orchard stock or your shade trees or ornamental plants and 

 shrubs. Remember, it takes just as much time and trouble to 

 raise an inferior tree as it does to raise a good one — and, if a 

 finiit tree refuses to bear, or bears worthless fruit, or if a 

 shade tree or shrub disappoints, you have lost, not only the 

 money it cost — which cannot be replaced — but tlie time and 

 effort — which are gone forever. 



Harri.son nursery stock never disappoints !
