?939 The Siorrs 6* Harrison Co.’s Catalog 
INTRODUCTION S’?* 
Book. Very simple; just the plain “Mr. Jones, meet 
Mr. Smith’’ type. We expect the Book to speak for 
itself thereafter. We will say, however, that we enjoy 
a nation-wide good reputation for supreme quality 
of stock, satisfying service, and square-dealing. Not 
any “New Deal,’’ this has been going on consistently 
throughout 85 years. As to grading (an important 
matter to you)—please note that we offer very few 
ambiguous items. We list specific sizes or grades. 
You select the particular grade desired ; pay its stated 
price, and you get that grade. 
There are approximately 2,000 sales items in this 
catalog. Within the limits of its adopted size, de¬ 
scription and exploitation must necessarily be brief. 
We aim to pack the essential details of understand¬ 
able description into a minimum of well-chosen 
words. 
In each distinct department, there is always some¬ 
thing new presented for your consideration. Our 
policy does not run to over-prominence in “Novel¬ 
ties.” 
We are conservative in policy, and require adequate 
proof before passing on enthusiasm over a “new” 
item, to our own customers whose faith and loyalty 
we appreciate. 
Founded on, and 
run by, the 
"Golden Rule" 
Our organization has been built up by several 
generations of thorough nurserymen. Our acreage 
today presents survival of the fittest from the ac¬ 
complishments of their experience, zeal and vision. 
Our fields teem with millions of well-grown nursery 
items which you can use. 
We bespeak and will appreciate your continuing or 
initial patronage.

SFFTH* Choicest possible quality and reclean-

TERMS 
WHEN TO ORDER. As soon as this catalog reaches you, 
send in your complete order for seeds, plants and trees, with 
definite shipping instructions which we will follow as closely 
as possible. By ordering early, we are enabled to assemble 
possibly all of your list while supply is unbroken, and “set it 
aside” awaiting desired, or proper shipping time. Evergreens, 
caliper sized trees, and any other items which must be fresh- 
dug, are, of course, subject to weather and general digging 
conditions. 
HOW TO ORDER. Please use order sheet found in rear 
part of this catalog, or otherwise if desired, using care to be 
definite, with accurate instructions. To avoid confusion, do 
not write letters on same sheets as orders. 
REMITTANCES should be made by post office or express 
money order, bank draft or registered letter. Remittances in 
unregistered currency are entirely at sender’s risk. 
SUBSTITUTION. We reserve the right in case we are out 
of a variety, to substitute another of equal merit when it can 
be done (always labeling with correct name)—unless the party 
ordering says “No Substituting,” in which case we will fill 
order as completely as we can, and refund balance of re¬ 
mittance. 
GENERAL TERMS. Net cash with order. No discounts al¬ 
lowed. POSTPAID BY MAIL. We deliver postpaid to any post 
office in the United States, any article in this catalog offered 
by mail. BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT charges are not prepaid, 
but are collectible at destination. In the various classes, we 
will furnish 6 or more of one variety and size at dozen rates ; 
25 or more at 100 rates ; 250 or more at 1000 rate if quoted. 
SEASON OF SHIPPING. Orders for stock from the nursery 
will be shipped at the proper time for handling as soon as 
possible after order is received. 
LATE SHIPMENTS. Our land is cooled and vegetation 
kept dormant by proximity to Lake Erie, several weeks later 
than other sections of corresponding latitude. This enables us 
to dig and ship stock in perfect condition after trees in most 
other sections are in full leaf, and to supply the slowly 
warming points farther north. 
BY FREIGHT OR EXPRESS. Every article not specially 
priced “by mail postpaid,” is priced for delivery by Freight or 
Express, packed free, but customer to pay transportation 
charges. All heavy trees in large quantities should be sent by 
freight if time is not too urgent, as the carrying charge is 
much less ; and our perfect packing permits a long journey 
without injury to the trees. 
BY EXPRESS (or Mail) ONLY. Strawberry plants are 
perishable and must be delivered in quickest time possible. 
We never ship them by freight. This also applies as well to 
Tender Plants and Perennials. If such stock is ordered shipped 
by freight, customer must assume entire risk of loss or dam¬ 
age.
