A GUIDE-BOOK FOR MASTER FRUIT-GROWERS 



AND BEGINNERS 



''''How to Gro\v and Market Fruit' 



This is a brand-new, thoroughly practical guide-book for master 

 fruit-growers and beginners. Covers soil handling, planting and feeding 

 trees, frost damage, spraying, pruning, thinning, varieties, grading, 

 packing, marketing and other essentials. Brief, to the point, but 

 complete; progressive, but thoroughly rehable. It is a comprehensive record of facts gathered in 

 our twenty years of practical experience in fruit-growing. Many have told us that this is the best 

 book for fruit-growers published in America. Endorsed by twenty of this country's foremost fruit 

 men. The heads of thirty state horticultural departments have written in praise of it, and it is a 

 daily companion of thousands of successful fruit-growers. Tells you what should be done and why it 

 should be done. Strongly bound, nearly one hundred and fifty pages, twenty-four pages of pictures 

 that show how. A book to keep. Price 50 cents — rebated to you when you send us a $5 order. 



Beautify Your Home Grounds 



Our book, "The Why and How of Shade Trees and Evergreens'* shows you how much it 

 pays to plant for shade and beauty about your home and farm, the actual cash value that such 

 comfort brings, and how cheaply it may be had with Harrisons' hardy trees and shrubs. The book 

 tells you what evergreens to plant in different soils and climates, how to have good hedges, and 

 how to set out trees and shrubs so they will thrive; contains sixty-four pages, forty-six pictures; 

 helpful and interesting. If you own land and are thinking of planting trees, we will be glad to send 

 you a copy of "The Why and How of Shade Trees and Evergreens" free. 



A Proauctive Farm on the Eastern Snore of 

 Maryland is the Ideal Home 



What is known as the "Eastern Shore" of Maryland is an old settled section; some of the richest 

 plantations of all times since America was settled have been right here, and the lands granted to 

 Lord Baltimore by the King of England are now, as they were 200 years ago, the "Cream of the 

 Country." Here there is room for progressive farmers to make big successes. 



Berlin is the junction point of two railroad lines. Distance to Ocean City (on the Atlantic Coast, 

 the summer resort of the Eastern Shore), 7 miles; to Baltimore, 124 miles; to Philadelphia, 143 miles. 



Summers are cool, winters are mild — zero weather is almost unknown. Growing season from 

 March to November. Two crops ripen on the same land, bringing double profit. Fruit, grain, hay, 

 vegetables, poultry or stock all yield high. The finest water, excellent schools and churches, and 

 miles of macadam, concrete and other improved roads. Living conditions unexcelled. 



You can sell everything you grow right at your railroad station for highest market prices. If 

 you want to ship, the country's highest-priced markets are only a few hours away by rail.
