WE GROW ALL THE TREES WE SELL 



Every tree sold by Harrisons' Nurseries will be 

 Harrison-grown. 



Trees grown in the Harrison way are to be de- 

 pended upon — they have the roots, the vigor and 

 vitality to live and thrive wherever they are given 

 a chance. 



Harrison trees are true to name. If we are out of 

 a variety, we frankly say so. We will not substitute 

 another variety of any tree or plant, except on the 

 expressed order of the customer, and then only from 

 •our own stock. 



We will not expose our customers to possibility 

 of error in variety or lack of quahty in the trees, 

 and under no circumstances will we sell or offer for 

 sale any nursery stock not grown on our own land 

 or under our own direction. 



This is for your protection and for our own. 

 Every tree you buy from us is Harrison-grown, and 

 is so guaranteed. You know that it will prove to 

 be just what it is sold for. Harrisons* name is a 

 recognized guarantee of the quahty of our fruit 

 trees. 



Growing All tke Trees ^A^e Sell Meets witL tne Approval oi Our Customers 



Eaton Rapids, Mich., June 3, 1912. 

 Gentlemen: — I might add that I have found your firm both hberal and honorable. You were sold out of one 

 variety of apples I wanted last spring, and that convinced me I could depend upon your trees being "true to 

 name." I am a bit suspicious of nurseries that are never out of any variety. Very sincerely, 



Frank E. Ford, Secretary, Eaton County Horticultural Society. 



WHY HARRISONS' TREES SUCCEED 



We claim, and can prove, that our trees are bigger 

 at any age than nearly all others; that they are as 

 hardy as the hardiest and hardier than most others; 

 that they have well-ripened, firm wood when we 

 sell them; that they are absolutely clean and free 

 from disease, and that they are budded from 

 bearing orchards. 



Our soil is deep, loose and very fertile. Roots 

 penetrate deeply, develop extensively and are fine 

 and fibrous. The looseness of the soil permits roots 

 to be dug with very little breaking. The richness of 

 the soil makes the trees get big, and fills them with 

 vitahty. 



The moisture in the air from the ocean keeps the 

 trees growing fast. We do not suffer from droughts 

 nearly so much as do points a hundred miles farther 

 inland. The salt in the air makes the trees hardy, 

 and helps keep them clear of fungi and diseases; 

 the Atlantic gales in winter make our trees robust. 

 It would take a high mountain location to secure 

 equal hardiness. 



We have been growing and selling trees for over 

 twenty years. Our trees have gone into almost 

 every township east of the Mississippi River where 

 fruit is grown. It is hard to find a neighborhood 

 where there is not an orchard planted with our trees. 

 We make it a point to keep in touch with our old 

 customers. If you want us to, we will try to give 

 you the names and addresses of people in your 

 section who have planted our trees. A bearing 

 orchard is the best evidence possible of the quahty 

 of, the trees with which it was planted. We know 

 that a great many of the most successful orchards 

 in the East today are composed of our trees. 



These points of superiority of our trees over those 

 grown in the ordinary commercial nursery clearly 

 demonstrate the fact that Harrison-grown trees are 

 the best produced in this country. The most con- 

 vincing evidence of what trees will do under given 

 conditions is to know what they have done under 

 like conditions. Harrisons' trees are making good 

 wherever growing, and they will make good for you.
