BERRYHILL SERVICE 
T HE book of the Berryhill Nursery Company is designed to acquaint you with our aims and 
facilities. It is not a mere catalogue of plants, nor are the prices made to attract the buyer, 
as comparison may show some items higher than in other catalogues. Our stock is grown 
on honor. Our shaly soil makes us wait a year longer to offer salable stock than most nurseries, 
but we know it then has the vigor and root power to withstand the shock of transplanting, and into any reasonable 
soil conditions the purchaser may be compelled to plant it. ' 
LANDSCAPE SERVICE 
No matter how small one’s place may be or how large, be it a small back yard or an estate of acres, its plant- 
ing can best be done to a plan. Just as the sculptor sees the finished statue in a block of marble, so the landscape 
gardener sees, with the same kind of sight, the undeveloped beauties of every tract of land. 
It is an easy matter to plant a tree or a shrub, but it is not so easy to set them in their proper positions in re- 
lation to surrounding objects and for the effect they are intended to create. 
And so we have added to our organization a fully equipped landscape department, in charge of a quali- 
fied expert. It is the business of that department to furnish our patrons with suggestions for the proper use of the 
stock we supply. 
Every place has its own problem, upon the proper solution of which depends the success or failure of the plant- 
ing. Our men are trained to give satisfactory answers to these problems, and this service is rendered free of charge, 
except where the planting is very extensive or where it is necessary to send our men to study the problem on the 
spot. For this service a charge is made only to cover expenses. 
Suggestions for the proper planting of smaller places will be cheerfully furnished upon the receipt of a dia- 
gram of the place, showing its size, location of buildings, points of the compass and, if possible, the nature of the 
soil. 
We cordially invite our friends to use this service to the end that greater satisfaction may be had by both 
them and us. 
BEAUTIFYING YOUR HOME GROUNDS PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS 
There is a strong economic side to beautifying the home grounds, the sight of which must not be lost. A 
prominent professor of landscape gardening sums it up in this way: 
“Of course, you do not expect to make money out of your home — you expect to live in it, — -but the day will 
come when you or your children will wish to sell part or all of your property. And the buyer will look at everything 
you have done from the cold, unsympathetic viewpoint of hard-cash value. The man of wealth who indulges every 
personal whim, and makes an eccentric place, will lose a lot of money. On the other hand, if you leave your place 
bare, it may be absolutely unsalable when the time of need comes, or you will get less than it is worth. But, if it 
is sensibly planted, you can get a bigger profit for the money you put into trees and shrubs than for the same 
money spent on house or barn or hogs. Then old trees that cost you nothing to plant, may bring you a millionaire 
buyer. Ten dollars spent on shrubs and vines planted against the foundation of your house may add $100 to 
its cash selling value. 
“It may be much more important to spend $100 on a bathroom; but, for one person who sees the $100 you 
spend on plumbing or interior decoration, there are thousands of passers-by who see the $10 spent in your front yard.’’ 
To our mind this sums up the entire question, and we refer it to our patrons as a most practical side of beauti- 
fying the home grounds. 
Our Offices, Greenhouses and Show Grounds, covering fifty 
acres, are very accessibly located along the Jonestown Road, opposite 
the Colonial Country Club, just outside of Harrisburg. Visitors 
are welcome at all times, Sundays excepted. Take the “L” car in 
Market Square. 
Tree-Moving, Pruning and General Garden Work. We are 
prepared to send men to do all sorts of expert work of this charac- 
ter, and to undertake the continuous care of lawns, gardens, etc., 
within nearby access from Harrisburg. 
Shipping Season for nursery stock begins about March 15 and 
continues until June 1. The fall shipping begins about September 1 
and continues until the ground freezes. Evergreens, with balls, can 
be safely moved through almost the entire year, and we are prepared 
to supply Roses and Vines from pots at all times. House plants, such 
as Palms, etc., can be shipped throughout the entire year. Seasonable 
blooming plants, as noted under each item. 
Shipments are made by mail, express and freight. Small plants 
can often be sent by mail. Larger plants, shrubs, etc., should travel 
by express, and unless otherwise instructed we ship charges collect. 
A discount of 20 per cent is allowed by the express companies on 
nursery stock. Large, heavy shipments travel safely by freight. 
When no definite instructions are given we use our best judgment. 
Order Early. Our rule is to fill orders in the rotation received 
Order early and insure your stock coming from the largest selection 
and reaching you at the earliest moment for planting. 
Substitution. We warrant our stock true to name and will re- 
place any that may prove otherwise. Late in the season we may be 
sold out of some varieties and sizes, and unless otherwise ordered we 
will take the liberty of substituting similar varieties. 
Prices. The prices quoted herein are for stock delivered to 
nearby points or to freight or express companies free of charge. 
Where crating or baling is necessary, a slight charge is made to cover 
actual cost. Our responsibility ceases on delivering shipments to the 
carrying company. 
Terms. Cash with order, except to persons known to us or sending 
satisfactory reference. Address all orders to
