Bud-Selection 



THE KEY TO 



BETTER FRUITS 



Dear Friends: 



/ 



Harrisons' "Bud Strains 



Some fifty years ago, and almost every year 

 since, Harrisons' have planted orchards, not 

 alona for fruit but principolly to secure the type 

 of parent fruit tree that was characteristic of a 

 "variety" dominant in bearing qualities coupled 

 with health, vigor and ability to withstand 

 changeable climatic conditions. This type of tree 

 became the parent supplying the budding sticks 

 for future orchards in America and true-to-nome 

 varieties were assured. 



Save Years of Waiting 



Bud-Selection Plus Whole Root Propagation Gives 

 Harrisons' Trees Year Ahead Start 



The root is the heart of a tree. It enables nu- 

 trients in the soil to reach the tops and branches, 

 causing growth. Every fruit tree we sell and grow 

 is scientifically propagated' on whole root seed- 

 lings, resulting in extra vigorous top and fruit 

 growth. It costs more to grow trees by this method 

 but results are what count. You can count on 

 Harrisons' Trees to give you bumper crops of 

 Quality Fruits years ahead of ordinary trees. 



Growing practices do make a difference. 



Now is the Time to Plant 



U. S. Government authorities are urging a large 

 increase of Family Tree Plantings to take core of 

 the alarming decline of fruit production. 



Health authorities recommend eating twice as 

 much vitamin-packed fruit. Many well known 

 authorities predict that within o few years fruit 

 production will be so low that only those who grow 

 their own will have enough to supply their family 

 requirements. 



Make your planting this season. Use Harrisons' 

 eorly-to-bear trees and plants. 



Buying Fruit Trees is an Act of 

 Confidence 



Your future success and profit from your invest- 

 ment depends on factors you cannot see — the 

 skill and experience of the nurseryman, the type 

 of parent tree that is used in propagation, the 

 willingness of the nurseryman to stand back of 

 every one of his claims. 



For 62 years the Harrison organization has been 

 supplying fruit trees to an ever-widening circle of 

 customers, until today Harrisons' Nurseries are the 

 largest growers of fruit trees in the world. This 

 demand we believe is due to the profit-producing 

 proven heavy yielding, bud selected strain fruit 

 trees we are producing plus absolute dependability 

 and square dealings. Thousands of reports from 

 enthusiastic customers, hundreds of year-in-and- 

 year-out customers, are proof that you can depend 

 on Harrisons' Fruit Trees. You buy them without 

 risk and with assurance they will yield you the 

 greatest possible profit. 



For sixty-two years the business of the Harrisons' has been to 

 grow Fruit Trees, Roses and Ornamental Nursery Stock, also com- 

 mercial fresh fruit growers — this business has grown and developed 

 only through a thorough understanding of the science of horticul- 

 ture in a^l its phases with practical use. 



When it comes to fruit trees, you can buy them at most any price, 

 but the trees that will produce the biggest crop of really worth-while 

 and saleable fruit, cannot be expected from undernourished trees 

 produced in a haphazard manner with the sole idea of seeing how 

 cheaply they can be grown, thus disregarding standard grades, sizes 

 and specifications and careless as to their parentage. 



Now when you buy nursery stock — remember all of it is a living 

 plant — ^he pedigree, or parents, play an important part in the future 

 results of the very tree you buy — the "hidden value" is the inborn 

 inheritance that becomes the final quality, type, strain, size, color 

 and productiveness so necessary in the future performance — and 

 right here is the very feature which makes HARRISON grown nursery 

 products have superior merits. 



HARRISONS' Fruit Trees and Small Fruits are 

 true to name, earlier to bear, and yield larger crops 

 because they are scientifically propagated from 

 SUPER SELECTED STRAINS. Likewise, the parent 

 plants used for propagating our Ornamentals ore 

 of the finest types for their respective varieties. 



in closing, may we personally take this oppor- 

 tunity of thanking our many, many customers for 

 their continued confidence, for which we ore sin- 

 cerely grateful. 



Sincerely yours, 



HARRISON NURSERIES, 

 Harrison Brothers, Props.
