To Our Patrons and Friends 



In presenting our New Catalogue for 1939 to our thousands of friends we wish to extend to them 

 our sincere greetings for the Year. We humbly appreciate the support given our Nursery during the 

 past year and we shall labor untiringly to justify your full confidence and orders for the coming years. 



The Bountiful Ridge Nurseries have always specialized in the growing of Fruit Trees and Berry 

 plants and the experience and knowledge gained by three generations of the Kemps go into the produc- 

 tion of our trees and plants. Mr. Geo. W. Kemp, now nearing his seventy first year gained his early 

 training from his father Mr. Harrison H. Kemp who operated a Nursery in South Western Pennsylvania. 

 Mr. Edgar H. Kemp and Homer S. Kemp have been reared in the Nursery business under the exacting 

 guidance of their Father. We not only have the background of practical experience gained through 

 more than 75 years of actual production of fruit trees and berry plants but we are following closely all 

 progressive findings by technical men in our Universities and the U. S. D. A. and are putting these find- 

 ings into actual practice when advisable to do so in order to produce better stock for our patrons. These 

 years of personal contact with every phase of the Nursery business as well as orchard practices add to 

 your guarantee that you will have satisfactory results from our stock. 



Bountiful Ridge Trees and Plants are now going into nearly every section of North America. Thous- 

 ands of our trees are being planted annually in the great fruit sections of Ontario and Nova Scotia 

 Canada and almost without exception in every fruit section of the U. S. Our stock as we grow it has 

 proven its adaptability to all sections wherever it has been planted. It is gratifying indeed to receive 

 the hundreds of letters we do each year telling us of our fine stock and the results it is giving, and as we 

 view the thousands of acres of fine old bearing orchards in the great Appalachain fruit section which 

 attest to the vigor and productiveness of trees we have grown, we are spurred on to greater effort to 

 serve our patrons better each year if possible. 



We wish we could personally visit all of our customers and friends and I 

 discuss frankly their planting and growing problems. We have much in 

 common and an exchange of views are often mutually beneficial and we 

 grasp every opportunity to make these personal visits. We have added Dr. 



Geo. W. Colborn Jr. to our Staff as traveling representative and orchard ib^ ^ |j§ 



adviser so that we can better give personal service to our customers. Mr 

 Colborn has traveled thousands of miles and made personal contacts dur- 

 ing the past two years he has been with us that we could not possibly have 

 made otherwise. We wish to know of your planting and growing problems 

 and you can be assured that if the methods employed in the growing of 

 our stock will lead to better success for you, those methods will be adopted 

 promptly. The modern equipment we have, including recently adopted 

 dusting and spraying machines, will care for stock in its every stage of 

 development and are examples of our sincere efforts to give our patrons 

 the finest disease free stock available at moderate cost. 



We would like to have your order for your planting needs this year. We believe you will find our 

 listings of fruits to be the most practical and complete available. We believe our stock and our prices 

 offer you the greatest values in Nursery stock you can secure. These facts, combined with a sincere 

 desire to serve you to your best interest with stock produced under methods that climax nearly a Cen- 

 tury of Actual and Practical production experience, we trust will merit your future orders. 



THE KEMP BOYS. 



GEO. W. COLBORN, Jr.
