Quality Peach Trees 



Harrisons' peach trees are 

 the best peach trees you can 

 plant in your orchard. Our 

 superior Berlin climate and 

 soil, plus Harrisons' methods 

 of propagating, planting, 

 budding, cultivating, spray- 

 ing, pruning, digging, grad- 

 ing and packing are what 

 make the fine trees. If we 

 could get you to come to 

 Berlin, we would show you 

 all the details. If you can- 

 not come and will send us 

 your order, we will stake 

 our reputation on the prom- 

 ise that you will get the 

 very best trees that can be 

 grown. 



Budded from Bearing Trees 



Our trees are budded direct from our 

 own bearing orchards of superior strains. 

 They will come into bearing earlier, pro- 

 duce larger crops and return the grower 

 more profits than trees produced by less 

 up-to-date methods. The real worth of 

 our peach trees is proved best by many 

 thousands of bearing peach orchards 

 planted with trees grown at Berlin. 



Peach Trees Are Scarce 



During the past few years the nursery- 

 men thi'oughout the country have been 

 planting less peach seed and as a result 

 there are far less trees available this 

 year and next year. The selling price of 

 peaches on the market has been consist- 

 ently rising and as a result there has been 

 a heavy demand for peach trees. Many 

 of the older peach orchards were cut 

 down during the depression and what 

 few that are left are not enough to 

 supply the increasing demand for fresh 

 peaches. We believe the prices of peach 

 trees will advance considerably next year. 



Plant Peach Trees Now 



Get your peach orchard started this sea- 

 son while peach trees are available at a 

 fair price. Due to the impossibility of 

 nurserymen supplying the demand for 

 peach trees during the next few years, 

 The wise planter who plants now will have 

 his trees in bearing at a tim^e when there 

 Till be a shortage of peaches on the mar- 

 ket and huge profits are assured.

Proper Planting Distances 



To find the number of trees required to an acre see 

 table above. 

 Apple — 20 to 40 feet apart. We advise 24 x 32 feet as 



most satisfactory when peach fillers are used. (See 



ideal arrangement above.) 

 Apricot — 20 to 24 feet apart. 

 Cherry— (sour sorts) 18 to 24 feet apart; (sweet sorts) 



20 to 27 feet apart. 

 Peach — 16 to 20 feet apart. (Commercial peach growers 



all over the country consider 20 feet apart the best 



distance.) 

 Pear — Standard. 20 to 27 feet apart. 

 Plum — 15 to 20 feet apart. 

 Quince — 10 to 16 feet apart. 

 Pecans— 35 to 40 feet apart.
