H. S. HARRISON 
I, as one of the founders of the 
Harrison Nursery Company, want 
to endorse the present officers. I 
am ready to underwrite every state- 
ment and guarantee made by them. 
I have been associated with them 
for many years and know them to 
be tried and true with the ambition 
to carry on the tradition of the 
original organization. 
This statement is a guarantee to 
our thousands of customers as to 
the reliability and integrity of 
these men. 
WA Wants-eone 
56th Anniversary 
Upon this fifty-sixth anniversary of the 
Harrison Nursery Company we are happy 
to have a word of commendation from 
one of the founders, Mr. H. S. Harrison. 
He, with his brother, W. A. Harrison, now 
deceased, organized the company in 1887. 
Time has proven that the founders were 
wise in building the organization upon a 
solid foundation of quality and service. 
We are proud of the fact that we are per- 
mitted to carry on the traditions-of the 
original organization, because over a long 
period of years we have found them safe 
and sound by actual test. We shall con- 
tinue to grow pedigreed trees, because 
we all know that parentage plays a very 
important part in their final quality, type 
and productiveness. We spare neither 
time nor expense in growing trees for a 
permanent improvement. 
We wish to thank you very kindly for 
your patronage, and wish to assure you 
that we shall continue to supply you with 
the best nursery stock that money can 
buy. You can make no mistake if you 
will anchor yourself to the best.

We realize that you can buy nursery stock at most 
any price, but if you desire lasting satisfaction, you 
should select pedigreed trees that have been given 
proper attention from seed to maturity and safe de- 
livery to you. We simply cannot afford to produce 
our stock in a haphazard manner with the sole idea 
of seeing how cheaply it can be grown and sold. 




You Can Buy 
Nursery Stock 
At Any Price 
You will find our guarantee to be one of the most liberal 
you have ever seen. It affords you genuine protection. As 
a further guarantee you will be furnished with a certificate 
showing that the stock has been inspected by the State 
Department of Agriculture and found free from dangerously 
injurious insect pests and diseases.

Years of drought and the Armistice Day 
freeze in 1940 destroyed millions of fruit, shade 
and ornamental trees; they must be replaced. 
Fruit is essential to the health of the nation, 
and we must plant more fruit trees and small 
fruits in order to supply this urgent demand.

Secretary of Agriculture, Claude R. Wickard, re- 
cently pointed out that 100% more fruits and vege- 
tables will be needed to meet the requirements of 
the new Nutrition Program. Director W. H. Bro-

Fruit Essential 
to the Health of 
the Nation 
Recent studies have brought out the fact that 
the American people as a whole have strayed from 
the protective foods which make up the well-bal- 
anced diets of our rugged pioneers. The family 
orchard, and to somewhat less extent, the family 
vegetable garden, have almost disappeared in some 
sections. This greatly decreased numker of home 
orchards has resulted in families lacking a well- 
balanced diet, which is essential to glowing health 
and strength. There is a serious shortage in fruits 
of all kinds. Prices are high, and even then good fruit is difficult to get. It is only natural 
for the entire family to eat more fruit if you grow it yourself. Invest this year in a home orch- 
ard. It is good insurance on health and happiness. 
Plant More 
Fruit Trees and 
Small Fruits 

To grow more fruit you will need good pedigreed trees and small fruit plants. You can 
depend upon HARRISON'S furnishing that quality.
