Delawareans Visit
Harrison Nurseries
Many People from This State At
tend Interesting Meeting Of
Peninsula Horticultural
Society

Several thousand visitors from Del
aware, Maryland, New Jersey and
Virginia, attended the summer meet
ing of the Peninsula Horticultural
Society and the Maryland Agricul-
tural Society held at Berlin, Md, last
week. The visitors were the guests
of Senator Orlando Harrison, man
ager of the Harrison Nurseries.
These nurseries were established in
1884 and are now jointly owned by
the brothers, Orlando and George A.
Harrison. The visitors were impress
ed with the fact that these men are
the largest growers of fruit trees in
the world. The nurseries are located
in Worcester county, Maryland, and
there are more than 5000 acres of
fertile soil, mostly planted to or
chards, nursery stock and general
farm crops. In use on the land there
are more than 100 horses and mules
and twelve tractors. There are more
than 100000 peach and apple trees
planted in the commercial orchards.
The Delawareans and other visitors
who had not previously visited the
nurseries were more than surprised at
the size of them and had an interest
ing time looking over the large place
and watching the workers who num-
ber nearly 600, at work.
Many interesting addresses were
made by distinguished and able
speakers on horticultural subjects
Among the speakers were: Andrew
Cohill, president of the Maryland
Horticultural Society; Senator Or
lando Harrison, D. G. Harry, presi
dent of the Maryland Agriculture
Society; DR.. A. F. Wood, president o.

NOW is THE TIME TO PLANT
FOR NEXT YEARS BLOOM

There are so many overs that can
be made to bloom next year by plant
ing seed now. A whole year can be
saved when seed are planted in mid
summer; many of the biennials and
perennials are best handled this way,
and there is much more satisfaction
in having plant bloom as soon after
planting as it can be made to.
Frequently very early planting, es-
pecially in hot beds and cold frames
will cause some perennials to bloom
the first year, notably, Iceland poppy
gaillardia, Chinese larkspur, platy-
condor, shasta daisy and lychinio
Those flowers that insist upon a year
to reach the blooming stage are cam.
pania, cardinal flower, golden alipsum
columbine, loosestrife, physostegia
foxglove, sweet rocket, hollyhock, etc
Because of an exceptionally early
season, larkspur, columbine, holly.
hooks and many other flowers are ir
bloom, even one variety of phlox is
out full.
Seed are collectible, or can be pur.
chased and sown now and bloom hare
next year without fail, provided the
soil is light, friable and well en-
riched
Cultivation will play big part ii
the success of the young plants Sc
cured from seed this season-keep the
ground stirred up, we'll fed and water
when necessary.
Some perennials "throw," through
seed, different colored flowers from
those by the parent stock-the ploxe7
Newark post., 1922-07-19

are quite apt to do this, as will the
hollyhocks, etc. To preserve the orig
inal colors of chosen varieties root
division can be made for increasing
the numbers of crowns. On the other
hand, many growths may be propa-
gated from root cuttings, the black
berry, lilac and oriental poppy (and
many others) being particularly easy
of propagation by this method.
Since any of the operations, in
creasing flowers by seed planting, root
cuttings or crown divisions, require
so little labor there is no reason why
the flower lover should not increase
the beauty of his or her garden.
