Harrisons' Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 
Harrisons' 30-year-old Elberta commercial orchard is 
llie oldest in America. America's oldest commeicial peacli 
orchard of approximately two thousand trees produced a 
large crop of United States number one grade Elbertas last 
August, and this orchard has never missed a heavy crop. 
Several thousand of our customers in every peach-growing 
section of the Union tell us that we have by far the finest, 
the best, the most uniform and most profitable strain of 
Elbertas in America. The buds from which our 30-year-old 
Elberta orchard was propagated were cut in person by our 
late Senator Orlando Harrison while visiting the late Samuel 
H. Humph of Marshallville, Georgia, the originator of El¬ 
berta, from the original, and brought in person by the Sen¬ 
ator and budded in our nurseries. 
There are many different types of Elberta, and the ‘‘Best 
Strain" is the cheapest and most profitable in the long-time 
investment. 
Recommend planting fifty to seventy-five per cent of your 
commercial orchard to Elberta. 
Plant Harrisons’ Superior Strain of Elberta and reap the 
huge gold profits. 
Early Elberta —Early mid-season, ripens about a week to ten 
days earlier than Elberta, yellow, freestone, large, somewhat 
similar to Elberta. but a trifle better llavor. Its earliness is 
its most attractive feature and is being planted more or less 
in commercial orchards. Excellent home orchard peach. 
EARLY ROSE— V ery early, white, cling, small to medium 
size, red blush, sweet flavor. Tree being an average grower, 
but a very prolific bearer. Georgia growers made astound¬ 
ing huge profits from Early Rose during 1929, being packed 
mostly in round half-bushel baskets and six-gallon carriers, 
consequently this variety is being heavily planted in Georgia. 
Eclipse—Early, yellow, freestone, new variety. 
Engle's Mammoth (Engle) — Late, yellow, freestone, large, 
resembles Crawford Late. 
Fitzgerald —Late, yellow, freestone, large, good. 
Fox Seedling (Fox) —Late, white, freestone, large; white 
with whole side red, melting sweet, high quality and high 
flavor. Good for roadside market and canning. 
Frances—Late, yellow, freestone, medium to large size; good 
quality. 
Greensboro— Medium early, white, freestone, extra large for 
• such an early peach, and one of the handsomest, being a 
rich, yellowish white, with crimson cheek, flesh is white, 
exceedingly tender and of fine quality. Being somewhat 
tender, it requires extra care and quick shipments, prefer¬ 
able for nearby markets. 
Gold Drop —Late, yellow, freestone, medium size, fine flavor, 
heavy bearer, very hardy. Generally planted in Michigan.
