Eleven Years’ Experience. 
ID YOU EVER SEE a woodsman “split rails’? He first. drives a 
slender iron wedge, then a second, now a large wooden wedge, then 
again the small iron wedge behind the wooden one, opening the rend wider 
and wider, continually lengthening it, till at last the log is laid open. 
PPPSSSSPSISS3qN. 
THIS IS very much like our business for the past eleven years. First 
the tiny wedge (2000 peach trees), to this was added another of equal size, 
doubling the sales; then the big wooden wedge of strawberry plants, then 
asparagus roots, and finally those valuable wedges—apple and plum trees, 
till at last the opening crossed the continent. Every wedge driven, “drew” 
and not one “bounced.” 
a WE BEGAN TO TELE you one year ago “How and Why We've Grown.” 
m# This is How, and the reason Why is that there are members enough in our 
aN firm to attend personally to each department of the business. The cult- 
@ vation of the crops is entrusted to Mr. J. G. Harrison (the father), who 
has spent his whole life in that kind of work; the setting of the plants, 
budding of the trees, and taking up the plants and trees, to Mr. G. A. 
m Harrison; the securing of the buds, packing the stock, and office work, to 
# Mr. Orlando Harrison.
