Excerpt from Harrison's Nurseries
Among the features of Harrison's Nurseries the test orchards are worthy of special mention. Here at Berlin, for instance, is a Peach orchard of about a thousand trees, now, in which are over one hundred varieties. You can get ripe Peaches in it from June 18th till October 27th. It is the largest experimental Peach orchard in the United States, and the most complete. Its record gives us the exact facts about any sort. Some of the trees are twenty-four years old, with not a sign of disease or decay. In the same way we test Apples, Strawberries and all other fruits. There are no haphazard guesses as to its merits in any respect when we offer you a tree. We know it is a good one, all the way round.
Harrison's Service is a thing of very great value to any planter. We certainly have had a broad and educative experience. Service, as we apply it to the growing and selling of trees, means rendering Our Service to the buyer all possible assistance in choosing, planting, and growing the right kinds of trees and plants for home grounds, orchards or gardens. We can solve for any to Growers planter in a quick, sensible, practical way the problems which otherwise would cost him much time and disappointing experience. The sum of our experience in fruit raising, from propagating the trees on through the planting, cultivating, protecting, and trimming, as well as in marketing the crop, is tersely told in How to Grow Fruit. It is a handbook worth having.
