Harrisons 9 Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 



of six Harrison Brothers, are devoting their entire time and 

 attention to the production of '"Harrison Quality" trees for 

 you to plant. The statements in this catalog are based on 

 our experience — they are true, and you can depend on them. 



HARRISONS' FRUIT TREES ARE TRUE TO NAME 



Harrisons' Nurseries have been budding direct from bear- 

 ing commercial orchards, selecting only from those trees which 

 for many years have shown to have unusually heavy-bearing 

 habits, consisting of the best types possible and of the best 

 known strains, for more than forty years. 



This is an old Harrison-process, which has been the back- 

 bone of our wonderful international success in selling trees, 

 and the idea was originated by our late Senator Orlando 

 Harrison and our late George A. Harrison. 



This process has just recently been discovered by some 

 nurseries. Harrisons' reputation on fruit trees has been built 

 up by the fact that over a quarter of a million customers have 

 found by actual test of growing and fruiting our trees that 



they have proven to be ab- 

 solutely true to name, the 

 best strains for the respec- 

 tive varieties, hardy, 

 sturdy, vigorous, with- 

 standing the rigid cold 

 winters of Canada, as well 

 as the hot, scorching sum- 

 mers of Georgia, Florida, 

 Texas and Mexico. 



HARRISONS' FRUIT 

 TREES ARE BUDDED 



Leading orchardists pre- 

 fer budded trees, as it is 

 generally conceded that 

 they are sturdier, quicker 

 growers and far superior 

 to grafted, hence the rea- 

 son why all Harrisons' 

 fruit trees are budded. 



It has been pretty thor- 

 oughly demonstrated that 

 when young trees are 

 propagated by buds, they 

 have the same bearing 

 characteristics as the trees 

 from which the budding 

 wood was cut. If this tree is a regular bearer of heavy crops 

 of fine fruit, the young trees will be the same. If that tree 

 i- a shy bearer, or produces inferior fruit, the young trees
