HARRISONS’ NURSERIES. BERLIN. MARYLAND 
APPLES 
Harrison Apple trees are larger and smoother than most other Apple trees. This is well known 
among nurserymen, and among owners of large orchards, who buy thousands of trees every year. Too 
often it is not known by planters who have not yet become thoroughly acquainted in the nursery trade. 
We have been growing and selling trees 
for twenty-five years. Our trees have gone 
into almost every township east of the Mis¬ 
sissippi River where fruit is grown. It is hard 
to find a neighborhood where there is not an 
orchard planted with our trees. We make it 
a point to keep in touch with our old custo¬ 
mers. If you want us to, we will try to give 
you the names and addresses of people in 
your section who have planted our trees. A 
bearing orchard is the best evidence possible 
of the quality of the trees with which it was 
planted. We know that a great many of the 
most successful orchards in the East today 
are composed of our trees. Harrison trees 
are “making good” wherever growing, and 
they will make good for you. 
Harrison Apple trees are budded from bear¬ 
ing orchards. They will bear sooner, and 
bear heavier, than average trees, all their 
lives. There is absolutely no doubt about 
their trueness to name. From the time these 
trees first are put into the ground as seeds or 
seedlings, they are kept growing by constant 
cultivation. They are sprayed and pruned 
right. 
All the trees we sell are grown here at 
Berlin. Few sections are as well adapted to tree-growing as here. It is our soil, our climate and methods 
of growing trees that make them so good. After taking them from the ground with our tree-digger, we 
grade them to standard sizes, leaving out all crooked and inferior trees. 
Success has attended this season, as in many others, our efforts to produce trees as fine as, or finer 
than, any that can be grown in America or elsewhere, and we want you personally to inspect them before 
deciding with whom to place your order. 
The best way to select what you want is to come to Berlin. The trip may cost you as much as ten or 
twenty dollars, but it will be money well spent. Every acre of orchard you plant ought to give you ten 
twenty-dollar bills each Christmas, when it is ten years old and afterward. If what we tell you enables 
you to raise the income from one hundred to two hundred, we have given you a lot more than your expenses 
amount to. We will show you how to change your general farm into a specialty fruit-farm, and how to 
make ten thousand a year or better from your own land. 
No Overproduction. A few so-called fruit 
experts have made a great noise about the 
number of Apple orchards planted during 
the past few years, and have predicted an 
enormous overproduction of fruit, with re¬ 
duction in prices and profits to the grower. 
Some of the leading farm papers have made 
a careful investigation of the situation, and 
the unanimous opinion is that the writers 
are frightened at their own shadows. 
Notwithstanding the large plantings that 
have been made, government statistics show 
that there are fifty million bearing Apple 
trees less in the United States today than 
there were fifteen years ago, a fact which 
shows that not every tree that is planted is 
given the necessary care and attention to 
bring it to maturity and make it a profitable 
producer of fruit. 
Dr. J. H. Funk, of Berks County, Penn¬ 
sylvania, in writing for “The Practical 
Farmer,” says: “Put good fruit at reasonable 
prices and the consumption of fruit would be 
tripled, and, instead of hearing the cry of 
overproduction, there would be a demand 
far beyond what can be produced in the 
near future.” 
W. S. Moore, of Mason County, West 
Virginia, says in “The Ohio Farmer:”
