Harrisons 9 Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 



Harrisons' 30-year-old Elberta commercial orchard is 

 the oldest in America. America's oldest commeicial peach 

 orchard of approximately two thousand trees produced a 

 large crop of United States number one grade Elbertas last 

 August, and this orchard has never missed a heavy crop. 

 Several thousand of our customers in every peach-growing 

 section of the Union tell us that we have by far the finest, 

 the best, the most uniform and most profitable strain of 

 Elbertas in America. The buds from which our 30-year-old 

 Elberta orchard was propagated were cut in person by our 

 late Senator Orlando Harrison while visiting the late Samuel 

 H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, the originator of El- 

 berta, from the original, and brought in person by the Sen- 

 ator and budded in our nurseries. 



There are many different types of Elberta, and the "Best 

 Strain" is the cheapest and most profitable in the long-time 

 investment. 



Recommend planting fifty to seventy-five per cent of your 

 commercial orchard to Elberta. 



Plant Harrisons' Superior Strain of Elberta and reap the 

 huge gold profits. 



Early Elberta — Early mid-season, ripens about a week to ten 

 days earlier than Elberta, yellow, freestone, large, somewhat 

 similar to Elberta, but a trifle better flavor. Its earliness is 

 its most attractive feature and is being planted more or less 

 in commercial orchards. Excellent home orchard peach. 



EARLY ROSE — Very early, white, cling, small to medium 

 size, red blush, sweet flavor. Tree being an average grower, 

 but a very prolific bearer. Georgia growers made astound- 

 ing huge profits from Early Rose during 1929, being packed 

 mostly in round half-bushel baskets and six-gallon carriers, 

 consequently this variety is being heavily planted in Georgia. 



Eclipse — Early, yellow, freestone, new variety. 



Engle's Mammoth (Engle) — Late, yellow, freestone, large, 

 resembles Crawford Late. 



Fitzgerald — Late, yellow, freestone, large, good. 



Fox Seedling (Fox) — Late, white, freestone, large; white 

 with whole side red, melting sweet, high quality and high 

 flavor. Good for roadside market and canning. 



Frances — Late, yellow, freestone, medium to large size; good 

 quality. 



Greensboro — Medium early, white, freestone, extra large for 

 such an early peach, and one of the handsomest, being a 

 rich, yellowish white, with crimson cheek, flesh is white, 

 exceedingly tender and of fine quality. Being somewhat 

 tender, it requires extra care and quick shipments, prefer- 

 able for nearby markets. 



Gold Drop — Late, yellow, freestone, medium size, fine flavor, 

 heavy bearer, very hardy. Generally planted in Michigan.
