WE SELL ONLY TREES WE GROW 
4 ' 
Every tree sold by Harrison’s Nurseries will be Harrison grown. 
Trees grown in the Harrison way are to be depended on—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 except on the express 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 quality in the trees, and under no 
circumstances will we sell or offer for sale any nursery stock not grown on our own land 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. 
Elberta Is The Greatest 
Commercial Peach Today. 
M ORE Elberta trees are bearing 1 in 
orchards now than any two other 
kinds. Elbertas make more profit 
than any three other kinds. Since 
Elberta came to be planted generally 
hundreds of kinds of peaches have come 
and gone, but the old reliable is still the 
most profitable of all. 
Our Elberta trees are superior to 
others because the buds used to propa¬ 
gate them are cut from our own bearing 
orchards. The trees in these orchards 
originated in our famous “ Test Orchard.” 
In it more than a thousand trees are 
watched constantly. 
Some of the trees are more than 
twenty years old. All are bearing. None 
is diseased. Think of a peach orchard 
that maintains its efficiency for a genera¬ 
tion! That’s the kind of trees we grow. 
We sell none we do not grow. 
Grow Ray Peach 
It Always Pays. 
Peach growers should be on the 
watch to weed out varieties that do not 
produce quite enough profit, and fill 
their orchards with the kinds that pay 
more than any others. If one kind will 
produce an extra peck of fruit to the 
tree, or begin bearing heavily a year 
sooner, or yield a couple more bumper 
crops, that kind is the sort with which to 
plant the larger part of the orchard. 
Many immense Ray orchards have 
been planted within the last ten years. 
There are breaking records for crops and 
cash returns now. The peaches have a 
white skin, and are of very high quality, 
so they bring fancy prices. 
The Luscious, Profitable, 
Yellow Transparent Apple. 
The man who grows the very early apple can make 
a lot of money easily. In June and July apples sell 
quickly on local markets, and bring very high prices 
when thej reach the big city markets. 
You should grow, at least all the early apples you 
can eat at home from the time they first ripen until 
Fall apples are mellow. Ten nine-year Yellow Trans¬ 
parent trees should jield all the apples you can eat 
and $40.00 worth to sell. A hundred trees nine or more 
years old should give you $400.00 a year net profit. 
Plant York Imperial, The Apple That 
Makes Big Orchard Profits Sure. 
To make really big orchard profits, you must get 
big crops every year and sell all the fruit for high 
prices. Selection of varieties is of vital importance. 
“This Elberta Peach Tree was presented to J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md. 
by Dr. J. E. Ottoway, Charlotte, N. Y., to demonstrate to the Nurserymen's Conven- 
tion, Rochester, 1912, the growth made by and the adaptability of Harrisons’ trees 
to Northern conditions. The tree, as shown, represents two seasons growth and 
calipers three inches. When set, the same tree calipered 9-16 in. which is shown 
by the smaller tree by way of comparison.” 
Some kinds yield small, irregular crops; 
others produce fruit that will not sell. 
York Imperial trees begin to bear 
when they are very young, and give 
limb-bending crops every year. The 
apples bring high prices on any market. 
This old reliable lop-sided apple with 
yellow and red stripes produced in 1912 
one-third of all the profits realized from 
eastern orchai’ds. 
You Can Make Money By 
Growing Kieffer Pears. 
Pear growing in the Eastern States 
can be made yield great profits, There 
are hundreds of large orchards in the 
East. Plenty of them give net returns 
of more than $150.00 an acre every 
year. 
Pear trees thrive on land that will 
not support other fruit, and on good land 
the returns from them are just that much 
better. There’s not a farm east of the 
Mississippi but that can be made grow 
pears and yield from them four times the 
profit that would be possible to get from 
raising wheat or corn. 
Pay For Your Orchard 
By Growing Strawberries. 
If your land has to pay for itself from 
what it produces, grow strawberries. 
On the average eastern farm they will 
pay for the land on which they are 
planted in two years. Strawberries be¬ 
tween the trees of an apple orchard net 
you $100.00 or more an acre from the 
second season. 
Start growing fruit with little 
capital, and make yoxir living at the 
same time. If you do not care to grow 
bei-ries for profit, don’t fail to have a 
home strawberry bed, a quarter acre will produce 
all the berries you can eat, fresh or canned, and 
leave you plenty for other uses. Good kinds are 
Klondike, Parsons, Gandy, Duncan, Haverland and 
Bubach. 
Baldwin’s Apples Standard 
For The North. 
A good late keeper when grown in the north. 
Standard in the section from New England to West 
Virginia. Fruit large, round, splendid red all over; 
rich subacid; splendid shipper. Well established in 
the markets; and desirable in every way. Quick and 
large grower; yields big crops. We recommend it 
highly for northern Pennsylvania, New York, all of 
New England and similar eounti’y. Good care will 
make Baldwin trees bear heavily when they are six 
years old. We have fine Baldwin trees. 
Orlando Harrison, son of J. G. Harrison, 46 
years of age, has spent his whole life work in 
propagating fruit trees and planting commer¬ 
cial orchards, and has been successful—has 
probably visited more Nurseries and Commer¬ 
cial Orchards in America than any living man, 
thoroughly familiar with the details from the 
seed to the bearing orchard, has organized 
fourteen different Orchard Companies and 
planted over 250,000 fruit trees in bearing orch¬ 
ards in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and 
West Virginia. 
Mr. Orlando Harrison, together with his 
brother, Geo. A. Harrison, 4li years of age, 
directs the men in the Nursery which number 
from 50 to 500, according to the season of theyear. 
Mr. Geo. A. Harrison sees personally to the 
cutting of buds from bearing orchards, has had 
a wide experience in growing trees, over 2.500 
acres of land to cultivate, has probably had 
charge of the growing and digging of more fruit 
trees, especially peach and apple, than any 
man in America. 
J. G. Harrison, head of three generations in Nursery work, propagator of 
trees and plants, 72 years of age, pioneer in growing strawberries in 
1867, and had the first commercial plum orchard in Delaware in 1870. 
Stayman’s Winesap Apple One Of The Best Varieties. 
The name is usually shortened to Stayman, a variety of great 
merit, which was first planted in commercial orchards of the East ten 
or fifteen years ago, and which has proved of the greatest merit. It is 
going to be one of our best varieties. The apples are medium to large, 
usually a little longer than round, and dull dark red, sometimes with 
green or yellow stripes, very juicy all winter, never mealy, of the finest 
flavor and texture of flesh. The tree is a quick and large grower, and 
thrives on dx*y soils such as stony hillsides. It bears young, often pro¬ 
ducing a half bushel to a tree when four years old, every year. Plant 
part of your orchard in Stayman trees. 
Early Richmond Cherry A Winner. 
The market for cherries has improved greatly during the past few 
years. Growers who pick their fruit -when it is properly ripened and 
deliver it to any city market, get good prices. Five acres is a nice block 
of Cherry trees to have. And this amount of fruit should easily be good 
for a thousand dollars a year clear profit.

19 years of age—the boy who discoved the “Ice 
box method” of keeping buds in good condition 
while budding. He has charge of over 100 men 
and boys in budding season and budded over

1912. He is now taking a course in Agriculture 
at the Cornell University.
