WE GROW ALL THE TREES WE SELL 
Every tree sold by Harrisons’ Nurseries will be 
Harrison-grown. 
Trees grown in the Harrison way are to be de¬ 
pended upon—they have the roots, the vigor and 
vitality to live and thrive wherever they are given 
a chance. 
Harrison trees are true to name. If we are out of 
a variety, we frankly say so. We will not substitute 
another variety of any tree or plant, except on the 
expressed order of the customer, and then only from 
our own stock. 
We will not expose our customers to possibility 
of error in variety or lack of quality in the trees, 
and under no circumstances will we sell or offer for 
sale any nursery stock not grown on our own land 
or under our own direction. 
This is for your protection and for our own. 
Every tree you buy from us is Harrison-grown, and 
is so guaranteed. You know that it will prove to 
be just what it is sold for. Harrisons’ name is a 
recognized guarantee of the quality of our fruit 
trees. 
Growing All tlie Trees ^We Sell Meets witli the Approval of Our Customers 
Eaton Rapids, Mich., June 3, 1912. 
Gentlemen :—I might add that I have found your firm both liberal and honorable. You were sold out of one 
variety of apples I wanted last spring, and that convinced me I could depend upon your trees being “true to 
name.” I am a bit suspicious of nurseries that are never out of any variety. Very sincerely, 
Frank E. Ford, Secretary, Eaton County Horticultural Society. 
WHY HARRISONS' TREES SUCCEED 
We claim, and can prove, that our trees are bigger 
at any age than nearly all others; that they are as 
hardy as the hardiest and hardier than most others; 
that they have well-ripened, firm wood when we 
sell them; that they are absolutely clean and free 
from disease, and that they are budded from 
bearing orchards. 
Our soil is deep, loose and very fertile. Roots 
penetrate deeply, develop extensively and are fine 
and fibrous. The looseness of the soil permits roots 
to be dug with very little breaking. The richness of 
the soil makes the trees get big, and fills them with 
vitality. 
The moisture in the air from the ocean keeps the 
trees growing fast. We do not suffer from droughts 
nearly so much as do points a hundred miles farther 
inland. The salt in the air makes the trees hardy, 
and helps keep them clear of fungi and diseases; 
the Atlantic gales in winter make our trees robust. 
It would take a high mountain location to secure 
equal hardiness. 
We have been growing and selling trees for over 
twenty years. Our trees have gone into almost 
every township east of the Mississippi 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 
customers. 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. 
These points of superiority of our trees over those 
grown in the ordinary commercial nursery clearly 
demonstrate the fact that Harrison-grown trees are 
the best produced in this country. The most con¬ 
vincing evidence of what trees will do under given 
conditions is to know what they have done under 
like conditions. Harrisons’ trees are making good 
wherever growing, and they will make good for you. 
IT WILL BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE TO SEND YOUR ORDER EARLY
