fruit. The results will be a sure success, so big, so easy, 

 and so wonderful as to surprise even the brightest 

 expectations. 



Regarding the relative values of different varieties, 

 we have in our own orchards, York Imperial, Grimes' 

 TT t - f Golden, Jonathan, Stayman's Winesap, 

 Vdiueb Ui Rojjjg Beauty, Yellow Transparent, North- 

 Varieties ^^n Spy, Baldwin, Northwestern Greening, 

 -—^—^— Yellow Newtown, Ben Davis, Early Ripe, 

 King, Maiden's Blush, Mammoth Black Twig, Mcintosh 

 Red, Spitzenburg, Stark, Winter Banana and some 

 others. These are first-class sorts. Each has distinct 

 characteristics which fit it for the special conditions 

 prevailing in particular localities. For home orchards 

 the field of suitable sorts broadens. The effort is to get 

 a list of kinds which will ripen all through the season, 

 from earliest to latest. Those which are good for market 

 are fine for this purpose too, but many others, which 

 are not so successful commercially on account of lack 

 of good shipping qualities, are, for that very reason, 

 more mellow and finer in flavor. 



Good Trees cannot be too much emphasized. To be 

 successful, a tree must be right, and must be started 

 right. In the first place, a tree must be budded on "whole 

 roots," and not on "part roots," which are the roots of 

 one tree split up to form several new trees. A young 

 tree must be vigorous and healthy. If it is stunted, 

 several years will be required before it will regain lost 

 growth, and thus several crops will be lost. If it is not 

 healthy it will die or half live along itself, and it will 

 also endanger other trees. 



The shape and age of young trees are both vitally 

 important. When splits which will kill a tree, and the 

 branches which directly influence the size of the crop, 

 depend on pruning during the first two years of a tree's 



Aee and Shaoe ^^^^' ^^^ much care cannot be used. 



-si £— Another most vital thing is varieties. 



of Trees Success or failure often depends on 



_ the variety. It is more than disap- 



pointing to wait till a tree comes into bearing and then 

 find that it is not true to name, but is, for you, a worth- 

 less sort. Every nurseryman holds himself responsible 

 only for the purchase price of the trees. So your protec- 

 tion lies in depending on a nursery which does not make 

 many mistakes, and which is interested in seeing that 

 the trees it puts put reach successful and profitable 

 bearing for their buyer. As we are planters and owners 

 of orchards ourselves, no one understands all these 

 things any better than we do, and our reputation for 

 square dealing, together with our success and popu- 

 larity, which has steadily grown greater for twenty-five 

 years, proves that we do not make many mistakes, nor 

 render unsatisfactory service to any one. 



Harrison's Nurseries are pecularily fitted to supply 

 the best trees which can be produced anywhere, and to 

 advise regarding fruit growing as a whole. We own, 

 wholly or in part, over 200,000 bearing trees, in West 

 Virginia, Maryland, Virginia. From these large quan- 

 tities of Apples of every variety are sold each year, 

 and careful observation made, and records kept, of 

 what is good, what is better, and what is best. We 

 know what we are talking about when we advise 

 TTflrriQnti farmers, and others, to plant fruit, and 



Apple Trees We have tried to grow the best trees 



in the world, and we think we have them. 



The book "How to Grow Fruit" contains what we 

 have to say on planting and care. It costs 25 cts., but 

 a copy will be sent free with your order, if you send us
