'A^f^'E present this, our fifteeuth annual catalogue, and wish to 

 -.33 thank our customers for their heart}^ recommendations and 

 ^§^'^ liberal patronage which has resulted in a steady and con- 

 stant increase in our business. We appreciate this, and assure our 

 customers we shall always endeavor to merit their patronage and sup- 

 port by supplying them with the very best that can be grown. 



For fifteen years we have been in the same harness, pulling the 

 plow, cultivator, harrow, sod-cutter, roller, and using the manure fork 

 and budding knife, with one point in view, and that is to grow the 

 BEST PEACH TREES, the BEST APPLE TREES, the BEST 

 PEAR TREES, and the BEST PLUM TREES, the BEST 

 STRAWBERRY PLANTS and ASPARAGUS ROOTS that can 

 be grown anywhere. Our efforts have been appreciated bv our many 

 customers, and we are now better equipped than ever before with a 

 complete list of varieties grown on good soil, well rooted. Our large 

 packing houses, shown on outside cover page, will give you an idea 

 of how we protect our trees and plants from the wind and sun 

 when the}- are fresh dug. Our packing houses are the most com- 

 plete in the State: our trees go from the field to the fumigating 

 house, and then to the packing house, and are not exposed. 



QUALITY is always our first consideration, and our aim and 

 efforts have always been for continuous improvement of qiiality and 

 strains of fruit. 



We write our own catalogue, and try to tell what we know 

 about a variety — practical up-to-date experience. Information is given 

 as to the most profitable varieties we know, and we spend much time 

 and money to learn the best varieties suited to a locality. 



Our farms (uine) comprise part of the best land in the county, 

 located conveniently within a radius of two miles from our packing 

 house and office, where all shipments are made from our own siding. 



We budded last season over two million peach trees and 

 planted o\ er one million apple trees, plum and pear trees, 

 with sixty acres in strawberr}" plants, and a large planting' of 

 asparagus roots, and will be in a position to supply our fall trade 

 with a complete assortment. 



Hoping the new year will bring an increased measure of prosperity 

 and happiness to all our friends and customers, we remain 

 Yours very respectfully, 



J. G. HARRISON 6c SONS, 



BERLIN, MARYLAND.
