HARRISONS' NURSERIES, BERLIN, MARYLAND 
INFORMATION FOR THE CUSTOMER 
WHEN WE SHIP. The planting season is not* 
regulated by any particular month or day, but by 
the prevailing weather conditions and the ripeness 
of the stock. We ship when the weather conditions 
are favorable, the usual shipping season extending 
from October 1 to May 1, with a few weeks’ inter¬ 
mission in midwinter. 
ORDER EARLY. By all means do not delay 
placing your order until you are ready to plant. 
The earlier orders are placed, the better it is for 
both you and ourselves. Early in the season you 
are sure to get the varieties you select, but later on, 
when our stock, as well as that of all nurserymen, 
becomes somewhat depleted, you may not be able l 
Mammoth Black Twig is a splendid commercial Apple 
(See page 19) 
to get the varieties you especially desire. We re¬ 
commend, where possible, that orders be placed in 
•the fall, whether the stock is to be planted in the 
fall or the following spring. Special arrangements 
have been made with our Order Department to 
reserve stock covered by orders until such time as 
shipment is desired. 
HOW TO ORDER. Please use the order sheet 
found in the back part of this catalogue, carefully 
filling out the blank spaces at the top for shipping 
directions. Be sure to sign your name and give 
post office and state. If your post-office address is 
different from the railroad station, be sure to give 
both. To avoid mistakes, do not write letters on 
the same sheet as orders. 
APPLICATION OF PRICES. The prices given 
in the catalogue for trees or plants apply as follows: 
One to 4 trees are sold at the each rate; 5 to 49

Our prices are made to fit the quality of stock 
that we grow, therefore do not confuse them 
with prices on cheap stock. Our stock has the 
roots, _ the vigor and the vitality which insure 
its living. It is the kind that succeeds.

TO OUR CANADIAN CUSTO¬ 
MERS. Please bear in mind that 
nursery stock is not admitted from the 
United States at all seasons. It is 
admitted in spring, commencing March 
15, and continuing until May 15; and in 
the fall, commencing September 26, con¬ 
tinuing until December 1. 
HOW WE SHIP. Unless we have 
definite instructions from you, we will use 
our judgment as to whether to ship by freight, 
express or parcel post, our judgment being based 
on the size of the shipment, the perishable 
nature of the stock, and the distance it has to 
travel. Special low rates are granted on nursery 
stock by most all of the railroads and express 
companies. Parcel-post rates, except in a few 
cases, are too high to be of much benefit for 
shipping nursery stock. (See parcel-post rates fol¬ 
lowing price quotations at the head of various 
departments.) 
TRANSPORTATION CHARGES. At the prices 
quoted m this catalogue all goods are f.o.b. Berlin, 
Maryland. We do not prepay express, freight 
or other transportation charges, except as noted 
m connection with parcel-post delivery. 
NO PACKING CHARGES. No charge is made 
for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to freight 
station or express office here. 
OUR GUARANTEE. We are careful to label 
all stock, check it and pack it correctly, but we 
cannot assume the responsibility of stock reaching 
its destination safely. We do assume the responsi¬ 
bility lor the true names of all our stock, and are 
ready, on proper proof, to replace, free of charge,
