Dear Friends: 
Profits In Fruit G rowing 
Growers, if you are not making money something is wrong. 
Other growers are making money—BIG MONEY—and you can do 
likewise if you will produce something that the people want and 
are willing to pay for. What is the use of wearing out yourself 
and your land on crops that pay from $10.00 to less than nothing 
per acre? Grow a few acres of fruit along with your other crops. 
Fruit will givi? you a bigger cash profit than any other crop 
you can grow. You'll make more actual money from one acre of 
fruit than you will from 10 to 20 acres of ordinary farm crops. 
Show us a prosperous farmer and we will show you a fruit farmer. 
The reason for this is plain and simple—there is a big surplus of 
ordinary farm crops, while on the other hand there is developing 
a shortage of fruits. 
There are no secrets involved in making big money with fruits. 
Plant our selected-strain varieties and success is assured. Thous¬ 
ands of other farmers with land like yours and with the same 
training and ability have paid for their farms and become inde¬ 
pendent growing fruit. 
We indeed appreciate the thousands of orders 
that our friends and customers sent to us last season, and it 
is with the utmost pleasure we send you all this oondensed 
oiroular which is full of worth while fruits and srnamentals 
for orohards, gardens and home plantings. 
The confidence that you plaoed in us is fully 
appreciated and we know that you will be well pleased with the 
fine assortment of Quality Fruits and Ornamentals that we have 
growing to fill your orders with this season. 
HARRISONS’ Fruit Trees and Small Fruits are true 
to name, earlier to bear, and yield larger crops beoause they 
are soientifioally propagated from SUPER SELECTED STRAINS. 
Likewise the parent plants used for propagating our Ornamentals 
are of the finest types for their respective varieties. 
Now is the time to oheok up on the missing trees 
in your orchard or plan the new one. Make a survey of your yard 
and determine what you need in the way of shade trees, evergreens, 
hedges, shrubs, flowers, etc. With prioes of all things going up, 
we believe that it would be wise to purohase your stock now. 
Again we are emphasizing the greatest values at 
a low prioe. By producing in large quantities we are prepared 
to give you better stook for less money, and remember, Harrisons’ 
Trees, Plants and Shrubs are grown, paoked and shipped by experts 
with a lifetime experience in nursery work. 
No matter what you pay for your trees, plants and 
shrubs they are a distlnot loss if they fail to give you satis- 
footlou, and it la with this In mind, knowing well that OUT otsok 
will give you entire satisfaction, that we ask you to send us 
your order today. 
Yours for a more fruitful ana beautiful Amerloa. 
Sincerely yours,

The vogue for beauty, outside the home, as well as within, is 
upon us—and this new vogue finds its most charming expression 
in the modern outdoor living room. 
This new fashion results from more than the public's con¬ 
sciousness of "back-yard" barrenness. It is the home-owner's own 
solution to the problem of how to get the most value out of his 
property and the most enjoyment out of living. The charm of ever¬ 
greens, flowering plants and trees, tastefully arranged to create 
a veritable living room outdoors is irresistible; and the prospect 
of planting a place outdoors which is attractive, livable and com¬ 
fortable—where the family can find countless hours of enjoyable 
pleasure. 
More For Your Money 
We wish it were possible that everyone who is interested in 
planting fruits or ornamentals could come to Berlin and personally 
look over the hundreds of acres of nursery stock which we have 
growing here. Thousands of visitors acclaim admiration at the 
manner is which our stock is grown. Our vast commercial orch¬ 
ards of the finest strains of fruits obtainable, which were secured 
from all parts of the world, offer us a storehouse of information 
and furnish us the best possible mother trees. This assures our 
trees not only of being true to name but enables them to come 
into bearing one to three years sooner than trees propagated from 
scion blocks or from nursery rows where it has been several gen¬ 
erations since the variety to be propagated has fruited. Remem¬ 
ber, an orchard is a long time investment and the trees must make 
good or the whole venture is a financial loss. 
Volume production along with favorable climatic and soil 
conditions enable us to reduce our selling price to the very mini¬ 
mum and yet grow trees, plants and shrubs that are of the very 
finest quality. 
It may be possible to buy a tree that looks as good but it's 
the parentage of the tree that determines in a large way its fruit¬ 
fulness and moneymaking possibilities after it is planted in your 
orchard. 
Fall and early winter during the months of November and early December are recognized by the most experienced planters as one of the 
best times for planting most varieties of fruit and ornamental nursery stock. By planting at this time you can be sure that the trees, plants 
“ and shrubs that you buy are in ripe condition for transplanting. If they are dug before the sap flow normally stops there is a possibility 
that much damage will be done to the plants in transplanting. 
In states bordering and just south of the Mason-Dixon line practically all items can be planted anytime during the winter that the ground is free from frost. 
Do not let a few light frosts and freezes delay vour planting this year. 
Fall and winter planted stock has one great advantage over spring planted stock in that it will start to grow earlier in the spring. It is a well known fact that 
the roots on all trees, plants and shrubs grow during the winter time and get well established before the late spring droughts. 
It is a mistaken idea among many planters that nursery stock should be planted early in the fall. However, this is entirely wrong as it is necessary to let the 
stock be fully matured before it can be safely planted. After a few cold periods and before the ground is frozen is the ideal time for planting deciduous stock.
