Mayor of Berlin, Md., and one of the younjj, active workers in. ORLANDO HARRISON. the ranks ol the American Association of Nurserymen Mr Harrison was bom in Sussex county, Delaware, thirty-three years ago. In 1884 the family moved to Berlin, where the father and sons have since grown nursery stock, starting in a small way but making a specialty of peach trees, strawberry plants and asparagus roots; recently they have gone extensively into apple and pear trees. Beginning with one farm of 170 acres they now own six of the choicest tracts in the vicinity and their annual list of budded peach trees exceeds any in the country. Mr. Harrison is a student of modern conditions and, although San Jose scale has never been found in his county, he was one of the first in the country to adopt fumigation with cyan- ide and is one ol the staunchest advo- cates of inspection, not political farce but real, conscientious, protective inspec- tion by an untrammelled man who knows a scale from a tumble bug. Aside from the manifold requirements of the practice of horticulture Mr. Harrison has the time to be mayor of his city, vice- president of a bank, a director of a build- ing and loan association, a loving hus- band and an indulgent father.
