HARRISONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Big Yields—Fancy Fruit—Large Profits 
A field of Blakemore Strawberry plants 
Plant Harrisons’ Quality Strawberry Plants for profit and pleasure. Since 1884 we 
have experimented with strawberries, seeking the perfect development of such varie- 
ties that would prove most satisfactory 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, fer- 
tile soil that is unequalled anywhere 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. 
Strawberries Pay 
Strawberries are a very profitable crop; many growers have made over $1,000.00 
per acre, but this is when everything is favorable. We believe, however, that the 
growers who plant our selected varieties and care for them in an up-to-date manner 
will make a good profit. He will not likely make a $1,000.00 a year per acre aver- 
age, but strawberries even in an unfavorable year will make some money for the 
grower, and in a good year when prices are high the grower will make a fancy profit. 
What other general farm crop will do this for you? More money in one acre of 
strawberries in a good year than in fifty acres of other general farm crops. 
Selection of Varieties 
For home use practically all the varieties we catalogue will give exceptionally fine 
results, but for commercial use other things are to be considered. 
Early—Premier ranks as the best early berry grown and is the outstanding profit 
maker. Blakemore is making good and is a very desirable berry for long distance 
shipments. i : c 
Midseason—Big Joe is still the best midseason variety of strawberry grown, while

not as universally popular as Premier, it still 
makes its growers money. 
Late—Chesapeake when grown in soil that suits 
it is the outstanding profit maker of all varie- 
ties grown. It is equally as good for home use. 
Lupton is another berry that is making a good 
reputation with market growers.
