of natural calluses. Such trees wither during winter, 
no matter how stored, or, if planted, may be killed 
by freezing. If they live, it takes them two years 
to recover their vitality. On the other hand, trees 
that are allowed to ripen naturally to the full are 
not influenced much by digging and storing, will 
stand shipping and handling without a sign of 
damage, and, when planted, will start to grow with 
the same vigor they showed the previous season in 
the nursery. Complete dormancy is the prime 
essential for transplanting fruit trees successfully. 
For winter or spring planting many of our cus¬ 
tomers order their trees during fall or early winter, 
and have us trench them in sand, to be shipped 
during mild days in February or March. When 
this plan is followed, we carefully observe weather 
conditions, both here at Berlin and in your section, 
dig up your trees, and pack and ship them when 
they can be moved and planted most safely. Some¬ 
times this is early; again, it will be late. Each 
season varies. The work and time element enter 
into it to some extent, of course, but we cannot 
pack in one day, or one week, all the trees we 
handle. Tell us when you want your trees, but give 
us as much leeway as possible, and we will promise 
to look out for your interests and send your trees 
in good condition at the right time. 
One-year Apple Trees. One-year trees of the 
larger grades will be as large in five seasons as two- 
or three-year trees planted at the same time, and will 
bear just as early. They may be headed according 
to the wishes of the planter. In short, most or- 
chardists have ceased to buy trees older than one 
year, even when the young trees cost more. 
Don’t Plant Worthless Varieties. For many 
years the list, especially of peach and apple trees, 
in nursery catalogues has been burdened with 
worthless varieties. This year we have eliminated 
a great many of them, and you will find the list in 
this catalogue to be composed of good ones through¬ 
out. Don’t burden yourself with a lot of miscellan¬ 
eous kinds just for the sake of having them in your 
orchards. Select a few of the best kinds and plant 
them exclusively. We will be glad to help you to 
select the profitable varieties that will succeed in 
your section. Write us. 
Success has attended, this season, as in many 
others, our efforts to produce trees as fine as, or 
finer than, any can be grown in America or else¬ 
where, and we want you to personally inspect them 
before deciding with whom to place your order. 
The secret of our success in growing high-grade 
trees “that succeed anywhere” is attributed by 
The Fruit-Grower and Farmer, of St. Joseph, Mis¬ 
souri, to our belief in fruit and in fruit-growing, 
and that we have gone at the proposition in an 
intelligent manner. “High-Quality” fruit and tree 
products, produced in an intelligent manner is the 
secret of the success of Harrisons’ Nurseries. 
“How to Grow and Market Fruit.” We think 
you will want to use the book as your daily guide 
in orchard work. The entire book was prepared 
with a view to solving the problems of the average 
man, as well as of the specialist. You can depend 
on what it says. We had the manuscript gone over 
by sixteen of the foremost fruit men of the country 
before the book was printed. If you have trees of 
any age, the book will tell you exactly what to do 
to make them bear fruit and bring profits under 
your conditions. Practical! That’s the word which 
describes it. The price is 50 cents, or free with order 
for trees or plants amounting to $5 or more. 
“My trees received on Saturday the 6th in perfect 
condition, and I am certainly well pleased with them. 
I want to thank you for the prompt attention you gave 
my order, and should I want any more trees or plants of 
any kind, I will not fail to give you my order, or if I 
know of anyone wanting to buy trees or plants of any 
kind, I will recommend you to them.”— William T. 
Grinnage, Elkton, Md. 
“I am writing to tell you that this year has shown 
the superiority of Harrisons’ nursery stock. Trees 
have made fine growth and have that healthy dark- 
green foliage and elastic bark so much desired but not 
always had. The Carman peaches which I planted last 
fall withstood a pressure of 22 degrees below zero, and 
all are alive and growing nicely.”— Isaac S. Betts, 
New Britain, Penna.
