Fruit Trees, Shade Trees and Shrubs 
Each Have Their Uses 
Fruit trees make prosperous farmers. Shade trees and 
shrubs are uecessary to complete the beauty of the suburbao 
and country homo. 
But neither fruit trees, shade trees nor shrubs would be ob¬ 
tainable if it were not for the nurseryman — the man whose 
life is given up to the task of growing and propagating them— 
keeping the stock pure, developing now varieties, working 
hand in hand with Nature to keep mankind provided with 
fruit, shade and beauty. 
W'e Americans are learning to oat more and more fruit each 
year — yet there are fewer fruit trees growing today than there 
were twenty years ago. If (he growing demand for fruit is to 
be met, there must be many thousands of now trees set out in 
Maryland alone each year for many years to come. 
■\Ve have in our Berlin nursery more than one thousand acres 
in fruiting orchard—every tree a fine representative of one of 
the best selected varieties. Each year we increase our acreage. 
Each year we improve the quality of our stock. 
We have spent the better part of a lifetime in the study of 
methods which will make it possible for the man of little ex¬ 
perience to plant and care for a commercial orchard so that it 
will yield a profit. Our experience is at the service of our 
patrons. We realize that our customers must prosper—other¬ 
wise we will not. So our first sale of trees must bring us 
other sales to the same customer and to his friends. If it does 
not, we feci that we have failed to do our part. 
It pays to know the nurseryman from whom you buy your 
orchard stock or your shade trees or ornamental plants and 
shrubs. Remember, it takes just as much time and trouble to 
raise an inferior tree as it docs to raise a good one—and, if a 
fruit tree refuses to bear, or bears worthless fruit, or if a 
shade tree or shrub disappoints, you have lost, not only the 
money it cost — which cannot be replaced—but the time and 
effort — which are gone forever. 
Harrison nursery stock never disappoints!
