Harrisons’ Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 
of six Harrison Brothers, are devoting their entire time and 
attention to the production of “Harrison Quality” trees for 
you to plant. The statements in this catalog are based on 
our experience—they are true, and you can depend on them. 
HARRISONS’ FRUIT TREES ARE TRUE TO NAME 
Harrisons’ Nurseries have been budding direct from bear¬ 
ing commercial orchards, selecting only from those trees which 
for many years have shown to have unusually heavy-bearing 
habits, consisting of the best types possible and of the best 
known strains, for more than forty years. 
This is an old Harrison-process, which has been the back¬ 
bone of our wonderful international success in selling trees, 
and the idea was originated by our late Senator Orlando 
Harrison and our late George A. Harrison. 
This process has just recently been discovered by some 
nurseries. Harrisons’ reputation on fruit trees has been built 
up by the fact that over a quarter of a million customers have 
found by actual test of growing and fruiting our trees that 
they have proven to be ab¬ 
solutely true to name, the 
best strains for the respec¬ 
tive varieties, hardy, 
sturdy, vigorous, with¬ 
standing the rigid cold 
winters of Canada, as well 
as the hot, scorching sum¬ 
mers of Georgia, Florida, 
Texas and Mexico. 
HARRISONS’ FRUIT 
TREES ARE BUDDED 
Leading orchardists pre¬ 
fer budded trees, as it is 
generally conceded that 
they are sturdier, quicker 
growers and far superior 
to grafted, hence the rea¬ 
son why all Harrisons’ 
fruit trees are budded. 
It has been pretty thor¬ 
oughly demonstrated that 
when young trees are 
propagated by buds, they 
have the same bearing 
characteristics as the trees 
from which the budding 
wood was cut. If this tree is a regular bearer of heavy crops 
of fine fruit, the young trees will be the same. If that tree 
is a shy bearer, or produces inferior fruit, the young trees
