Harrisons Fruit Trees Are 
Budded 
Leading orchardists prefer budded 
trees, as it is generally conceded that 
they are sturdier, quicker growers 
and far superior to grafted, hence 
the reasor why all Harrisons’ fruit 
trees are budded. 
It has been pretty thoroughly 
demonstrated that when young trees 
are propagated by buds, they have 
the same bearing characteristics as 
the trees from which the budding 
wood was cut. If this tree is a regu- 
iar bearer of heavy crops of fine fruit, the young trees will 
be the same. If that tree is a shy bearer, or produces 
inferior fruit, the young trees have very little chance of 
ever becoming profitable orchards. You can notice it in 
your own orchard and neighborhood—one Baldwin or York 
Imperial tree will bear twice as many as another standing 
alongside of it, and better apples too. This condition ap- 
plies as well to peaches, pears, plums, cherries and other 
truits. 
When, therefore, we say that our trees are budded from 
bearing orchards, it means that they have come from trees 
srowing in a successful orchard, and that they should 
possess superior bearing habits throughout their life. Har- 
risons’ apple, pear and cherry trees are budded on Whole 
Root Seedlings, preducing the cleanest, largest and best 
roots available and insuring long-lived trees. When you 
order Harrisons’ trees henceforth, Know that you are get- 
ting stock that has been propagated in our own nurseries, 
“rom buds cut from selected bearing trees, budded on well- 
crown whole root seedlings, and cared for in the best 
manner while growing in our nurseries. Harrisons’ trees 
are dependable at all times. 
No matter where you buy trees, or what price you pay, 
they are a distinct loss unless they make good in ycur or-

"hand picked" 
chard. It’s mighty unfortunate that 
many people forget this fact, and 
innocently buy trees because they 
think they are saving a few cents. 
We claim, and can prove, that the 
trees from our nurseries are larger 
than most other trees; tests of more 
than forty-nine years show that they 
are as hardy and adaptable as trees 
grown in any part of the country, 
and nine times in ten they are 
hardier; the wood is well ripened, 
: firm and solid when the trees are 
offered for saie; and it goes without 
saying that they are clean and free 
from disease. 
There are a good many things that put Harrison-grown 
trees in the front rank, but probably the most important 
is the fact that our trees are budded from bearing orchards. 
That means pedigreed trees, although we don’t give them 
that title. 
The bud-sticks we use are cut from trees that are known 
to be large producers for several years—not first-year bear- 
ers. We want to know that the parent tree is worthy of 
having its characteristics transmitted to a second or third 
generation.

Our Trees Are Free From Disease 
and Insects 
All stock is thoroughly inspected by the Maryland State 
Entomologist and his corps each fall and spring just before 
digging time, and one of his assistants, in the employ of 
the State, is located at our nursery during the entire ship- 
ping season. The trees are given a final thorough inspec- 
tion just before they are packed ready for shipment. Every 
precaution possible is taken for the protection of the cus- 
tomer and his stock, and each carload, box or bale is tagged 
with the State Entomologist’s Certificate of Health Inspec- 
tion.

Gentlemen: 
The 6,500 Hiley peach trees one year 5 to 6 ft. ship- 
ped during March are growing fine and still 100% 
alive, although on account of the exceedingly dry 
weather we thought it advisable to water them dur- 
ing the middle of May. At this time they are mak- 
ing a nice growth.

_Gentlemen: 
The 3,400 apple trees 1 yr. budded 5 to 6 ft. grade 
which we purchased from you last fall are starting 
off nicely. Will no doubt want more trees next year.

Gentlemen: é 
We acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 4th 
regarding peach trees. We planted 1,050 of your trees 
just a few years ago and all of them are growing 
nicely. 
We have ample room to plant a number of more 
trees, in fact have laid our plans for planting trees 
this season. 
Very truly yours,
