FRUIT TREES 



GROW FRUIT FOR PROFIT 



Each season there are millions of dollars made in 

 growing fruits. It is a well known fact a few acres of 

 fruit will give you a bigger cash profit than any other 

 crop you can grow. There is a big opportunity in grow- 

 ing fruit crops for the big markets and an egual op- 

 portunity to grow fruit for the nearby or roadside mar- 

 Jet. 



HARRISONS' TREES ARE DEPENDABLE 



Leading fruit growers prefer Harrison Grown Trees. 

 They have learned they are dependable not from 

 claims in a catalogue or talk from a salesman, but 

 from actual performance on their own land. Each sea- 

 son we hear from many of our old customers expressing 

 their praise of the fruit trees which they bought from 

 us, even thirty, forty and fifty years ago. 



HARRISONS' TREES ARE HARDY 



Harrisons' Trees by the tens of thousands have 

 been planted in every fruit section of the Nation, as 

 well as foreign countries and invariably they give 

 satisfactory results. Tests run by leading experimental 

 stations throughout the Northern States and Canada 

 definitely prove Harrison Grown Trees, variety for va- 

 riety, are as hardy and sometimes hardier than trees 

 grown in northern localities. 



BETTER TREES FOR LESS MONEY 



It is true our method of propagation from parent 

 trees that bear extraordinary crops of finest quality 

 fruits for their respective varieties cost us more money 

 per tree than the non-bearing scion block method used 

 by most nurserymen. By growing trees in extra large 

 quantities we can practice certain economies that are 

 utterly impossible for the smaller grower and results in 

 our trees, size for size, being no higher in price than 

 trees that are produced in a haphazardly manner. We 

 wish everyone who is interested in Fruit Trees could 

 come to Berlin and personally look over the trees we 

 are growing, you would soon see the reason why we 

 are known as the "World's Largest Growers of Fruit 

 Trees."

 trees in bearing in Harrisons' Orchards. Now rememb- 

 er these trees in our orchards were of known improved 

 parentage and now we select our propagating wood 

 from the best trees in our own planting, which results 

 in trees that are really Triple Bud Selected Super Strain 

 fruit trees. We know of no other concern in America 

 who is eguipped to propagate trees in this manner to 

 any extent. 



BIGGER YIELDS— BETTER COLOR 



If there is any one thing that plays such importance' 

 in profit making from fruit it is the matter of the yield. 

 Harrison Trees are known as the heaviest yielding strains 

 obtainable, which is directly due to the bearing habits 

 of their parent trees. Next to yield is the matter of 

 color, most fruit growers realize if their apples were 

 more highly colored they would sell for more money. 

 You can depend on Harrison Super Strain Trees to pro- 

 duce crops that have the finest color for their respective 

 varieties. 



YOUNGER BEARING 



Do you want your trees to come into bearing at an 

 early age? It is a recognized fact that trees propa- 

 gated direct from bearing trees will commence to fruit 

 at an earlier age than trees that are propagated from 

 non-bearing scions. Harrison Grown Fruit Trees, due 

 to the fact they are propagated from bearing trees, will 

 produce profit paying crops in the earliest possible time. 



HEALTHY— VIGOROUS 



All Harrison Grown Trees are healthy and vigorous 

 growing. Every possible precaution is taken to elimin- 

 ate any dangerous insects or disease and a Certificate 

 of Nursery Inspection accompanies each shipment. Vigor- 

 ous growing healthy young trrcc- can- -only ccmo Iran 

 parent trees that show these same characteristics. Thou- 

 sands of dollars yearly are spent by us in improving 

 the fertility of our soil to produce the best trees to be 

 found in America. 

 Fall and early -winter during the months of November and early December are recog- 

 nized by the most experienced planters as one of the best times for planting most varie- 

 ties of fruit and orname ntal nursery stock. By planting at this time you can be sure 

 that the trees, plants and shrubs that you buy are in ripe condition for transplanting. 

 If they are dug before the sap flow normally stops there is a possibility that much damage wil lbe done to the 

 plants in transplanting. 



In states bordering and just south of the Mason-Dixon line practically all items can be planted anytime dur- 

 ing the winter that the ground is free from frost. 



Do Not Let A Few Light Frosts And Freezes Delay Your Planting This Year. 



Fall and winter planted stock has one great advantage over spring planted stock in that it will start to grow 

 earlier in the spring. It is a well known fact that the roots on all trees, plants and shrubs grow during the win- 

 ter time and get well established before the late spring droughts. 



It is a mistaken idea among many planters that nursery stock should be planted early in the fall. However, 

 this is naturally wrong as it is necessary to let the stock be fully matured before it can be safely planted. After 

 a few cold periods and before the ground is frozen is the ideal time for planting deciduous stock.

IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE 

 OF YOUR HOME GROUNDS 



The vogue for beauty, outside the home, as well as 

 within, is upon us — and this new vogue finds its most 

 charming expression in the modern outdoor living room. 



This new fashion results from more than the public's 

 consciousness of "back-yard" barrenness. It is the 

 home-owner's own solution to the problem of how to get 

 the most value out of his property and the most enjoy- 

 ment out of living. The charm of evergreens, flowering 

 plants and trees, tastefully arranged to create a veri- 

 table living room outdoors is irresistible; and the pro- 

 spect of planting a place outdoors -which is attractive, 

 livable and comfortable — where the family can find 

 countless hours of enjoyable pleasure.
