WHY WASTE TIME GROWING ORDINARY CROPS? 

 FRUIT PAYS $100 TO $500 PER ACRE 



Little Orchards Make More Money Than Big Farms 



Mr. Farmer, if you are not making money 

 something is wrong. Other farmers are 

 making money— BIG MONEY— and you can 

 do likewise if you will produce something 

 the people want and are willing to pay for. 

 What is the use of wearing out yourself and 

 your land on crops that pay from $10.00 to 

 LESS THAN NOTHING per acre? Grow a 

 few acres of fruit and leave the balance of 

 your land for other crops. 



Fruit will give you a bigger cash profit 

 than any other crop you can grow. You'll 

 make more actual money from one acre of 

 fruit than you will from 20 to 40 acres of 

 ordinary farm crops. 



Plant Your Orchard This Year 



During the past few years the production 

 of fruit has fallen off due to rnany orchards 

 dying on account of the lack of attention 

 and unfavorable weather conditions. For 

 the past two seasons the fruit grower has 

 made some money and we believe when the 

 price of fruit products advances as it should 

 fruit growing will be the most profitable of 

 any farming enterprise. 



Get Your Share of This Easy Money 



There are no secrets involved in making 

 big money with fruits. Plant our selected 

 varieties and success is assured. Thousands of other 

 farmers with land like yours and with the same train- 

 ing and ability have paid for their farms and become 

 independent growing fruit. 



There is nothing but you yourself to keep you from 

 making the Big Profits enjoyed by others. You have 

 the land, we have the trees, so let's get together. Every 

 dollar invested in our quality, time proven trees will 

 reap you several dollars of profits. 



Plant Harrison's Selected Trees 



Hundreds of our friends visit us at Berlin every year. 

 Scarcely any one who looks over our Nurseries fails to 

 express wonder at their extent, and admiration at the 

 care with which we till each individual block; weeds 

 are kept down throughout the season. Fruits and 

 Ornamentals alike receive painstaking attention. 



But for the rest of our friends — those who have not 

 come — a little explanation of our methods of growing 

 stock and handling orders may be interesting. 



We grow our stock and sell it direct to planters. 

 Thus we know the origin of all our stock and can 

 guarantee it perfectly free from disease. 



We cultivate the trees more carefully in the nursery 

 row than the intelligent farmer cultivates his rows of 

 corn. This careful tending plays a great part in pro- 



^-^ 



Nursery inspection. Every tree "hand picked' 



One of Harrisons' famous orchards 



ducing for each tree a vigorous root and shapely top. 



Visit us when you will — and there is never a time 

 when you are not welcome — you will notice the clean, 

 well-worked condition of every row of trees in our 

 large nursery acreage. 



This constant mellowing of the soil and destroying 

 of weeds plays a vastly more important part in assur- 

 ing good trees — trees that produce in the orchard — 

 than many nurserymen, or growers either, realize. 



When it comes to budding we spare no pains to get 

 everything exactly right and the varieties true to name. 

 Every bud — every inch of propagating wood — comes 

 from trees that we have been watching closely for 

 years, and whose fruit is critically inspected season 

 after season. 



In short, the "ancestry" of every Harrison tree — 

 root, trunk and branch — is history to us before it 

 leaves our nurseries. We canot afford to take chances; 

 neither can you, for it is too late to remedy mistakes 

 when your trees come into bearing. 



Across the Continent Packing 



Every shipment we send out is packed as though it 

 were going across the continent and require several 

 weeks in transit. We use the finest materials in pack- 

 ing our stock so as it will reach our cus- 

 tomers in a condition as fresh as it was the 

 day when packed. We have received numer- 

 ous reports on shipments that had travelled 

 thousands of miles without the slightest in- 

 jury to the stock. No matter how far away 

 we guarantee safe arrival when you order 

 from us. 



Harrisons' Service 



"Harrison Service" goes further than sell- 

 ing good trees and packing and shipping 

 them right. We help you first, if you wish, 

 in selecting suitable varieties for your soil, 

 climate and market conditions; we tell you 

 about the special care each variety needs; 

 how each fruits best, and when the crop 

 ripens. This information is at your service 

 before you buy — after you buy — always; it 

 is absolutely free to you without "strings" 

 of any kind. 



Our great experimental fruiting orchards 

 of peaches on the home place at Berlin, and 

 our extensive apple plantations in West 

 Virginia and Western Maryland are under 

 the personal observation of the Proprietors, 

 as are also our orchards of plums, pears, 

 cherries and other small fruits.
