GEORGE A. HARRISON, 43 
years of age, and his brother, Orlando 
Harrison, direct in person all the 
work in the nurseries at Berlin. 
George A. Harrison sees personally 
to the cutting of buds from bearing 
orchards. He has in his immediate 
care the cultivation of over 2,500 
acres of land, and probably has had 
charge of the growing and digging of 
more fruit trees, especially peach and 
apple, than any other man in America. 
G. HALE HARRISON, 19 years 
of age, son of Orlando Harrison, dis¬ 
coverer of the “Ice-Box” method of 
keeping buds in good condition from 
the time they are cut until used, has 
charge of over one hundred men and 
boys during the budding season. They 
budded over three and one-half mil¬ 
lion trees in about ninety days in 
1913. Is now taking a course in horti¬ 
culture and agriculture at Cornell 
University, Ithaca, New York.

H ERE at Berlin, Maryland, is the largest continuous acreage of land in 
America devoted to growing fruit trees, ft is all Harrisons’ Nurseries. 
Millions of trees are produced here every year; in fact, more fruit 
trees than are produced by any other firm in existence. 
Thousands of people who are in a position to know, claim that the trees 
grown here by our methods are better than trees produced anywhere else in 
the country. There are good reasons for this. We want to tell you what 
they are. But first, we want you to know the men who grow them, the men 
who are behind them, the men who have studied and worked to develop this 
immense nursery, and who put the high quality into these trees. Their 
pictures are printed on this page. Write to them, or come to see them and 
get acquainted with them yourself, so you may know the earnestness and 
the knowledge and the care and pains which they put into the production 
of every tree which you might get from this nursery, and plant in your 
orchard with great hopes of success.

J. G. HARRISON, head of three 
generations in nursery work, is 72 
years old, and is vitally interested in 
the work of these nurseries. He was a 
pioneer in the growing of straw¬ 
berries in 1867, and had the first com¬ 
mercial plum orchard in Delaware 
in 1870. He was the founder of the 
present immense Harrisons’ Nur¬ 
series, much of the success of which 
is due to the solid foundation he laid. 
ORLANDO HARRISON, 46 years 
of age, son of J. G. Harrison, has spent 
his whole life in propagating fruit 
trees and planting commercial or¬ 
chards. He is personally familiar 
with the details of tree- and fruit¬ 
growing from the seed to the bearing 
orchard. Has organized twenty differ¬ 
ent commercial orchard companies 
and planted over 300,000 fruit trees 
in orchards in Maryland, Delaware, 
Virginia and West Virginia and has 
made practical successes of them.
