To Save Your Time and Our Money 
A York Imperial or a Baldwin Apple is the same this year as it was 
last year and the year before. A true description written then will be 
equally truthful now. For this reason we are not getting out a complete 
new catalogue this spring, but are sending you this booklet, which gives 
up-to-date prices and a few ideas which are important now. 
We wish you would read what we say in the rest of this introduction 
and in the matter at the head of each fruit chapter. It is not just general 
talk put in to sell trees. It is timely information which we want our friends 
to profit by. The business of this nursery is not founded on making a 
sale of trees to a person and then never dealing with him again. We aim 
to get acquainted with every one of our customers, and year by year 
follow their progress and prosperity, sharing with them at all times all 
the information that we may gather. 
This book lists fruit trees and plants, evergreens and privet. If you want 
complete descriptions of any varieties not described here, refer to our general 
catalogue. Should you not have a copy, drop us a postal and we will 
send one gladly. Our complete lines of shade trees, evergreens, shrubs and 
vines is described best in our book called ‘‘The How and Why of Shade 
Trees and Evergreens,”’ mentioned on the inside of the back cover.

A great deal of building and buying and general improving has been 
going on at our place during the past year. We put up a complete new 
packing-shed that covers over an acre of ground and has a frontage of 
several hundred feet on our railroad sidetrack. A hundred men can work 
together at packing and loading trees without getting in one another’s 
way. We have hired better men for the positions in the fields, in the pack- 
ing and storing buildings, and in the office. 
Our constant effort is to grow trees possessing greater and greater vitality 
and better physical form, to handle them so they lose nothing of their 
quality, and to get them off to you in the shortest possible time after your 
order comes in, with no confusion or trouble of any kind. If you will come 
here and spend a few days watching our men work, you will know what a 
really great business this is, and you will be able to appreciate the quality 
of Harrison trees after you have seen the care with which they are grown 
and handled.
