BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES — PRINCESS ANNE, MD. 



LATE VARIETIES 



AROMA — Perfect. If you want an exception- 

 ally fine, firm, late berry that stands up 

 under long shipments, by all means plant 

 AROMA. It is the standard late variety 

 that brings big profits to growers everywhere 

 as it thrives in any climate, the heavy, dark 

 green foliage making it disease resisting to 

 a remarkable degree. 



AROMA is a steady producer of big, round, 

 deep red, glossy berries of excellent eating 

 quality. The skin is tougher than early va- 

 rieties and the flesh firm — the characteristics 

 which make it such a splendid shipper. 

 For a late variety, AROMA is unusually 

 mild and sweet. It is a fancy berry in the 

 truest sense of the word which greatly adds 

 to its marketability at top prices. Home 

 growers delight in its planting and the fruit 

 each plant bears. 



Please realize that this is a strawberry and 

 no experiment. It has steadily been grow- 

 ing in favor for the last ten years and- has 

 more than proved its worth under all Condi- 

 tions. Our guarantee is behind this variety 

 in every respect. We would like to fill 

 your order. 



GANDY — Large, light crimson; flesh of firm, 

 good quality. Plants vigorous but should 

 be planted in swamp or moist, clay soils. 

 Perfect. Late. 



BIG JOE — Per. Midseason. Big Joe is one 

 of the highest priced and most popular ber- 

 ries in the New York markets. Plant a 

 strong grower, makes lots of plants and a 

 good fruiting bed. Berries handsome, firm, 

 and of good quality. 



EVERBEARING VARIETIES 



25 for $2.00 100 for $4.00 500 for S10.G0 



PROGRESSIVE EVERBEARING— The ber- 

 ries are not as large as Superb and not so 

 good quality, but they yield well and, we 

 think, will be one of the best known varieties 

 of fall bearers in a few years. Fruit of 

 Progressive is of good size, smooth, of good 

 color and appearance. 



SUPERB EVERBEARING— Very large, dark 

 red and glossy; fine quality. It begins to 

 bear in June with immense crops and con- 

 tinues until late in fall. It is one of the 

 heaviest bearers of berries in June as well 

 as a remarkable fall bearer. Will produce 

 a fair crop of fruit the first summer. 



Nut Trees 



The planting of Nut Trees, such as Paper Shell Pecans and English Walnuts 

 should be indulged in by every person who owns a town lot or piece of land. There 

 are but few things that there is more profit in than to plant a grove of English Wal- 

 nuts or Paper Shell Pecans. No disease ever attacks either of these most delicious 

 nuts and they can be grown with ease. English Walnuts usually sell for 45 to 50 

 cents per pound, while paper shell pecans sell anywhere from 60 to 75 cents per 

 pound. 



The English Walnut comes into bearing very young, while the Pecan must be 

 from 8 to 10 years old before it fruits to any extent. In the two we offer the fol- 

 lowing varieties, which are the very best, thriving in almost any kind of soil. 



ENGLISH WALNUT— Tree valuable for its 

 fruit and shade; the nuts are thin shelled 

 and equal to any you can buy out of the 

 stores; full meated kernels of delicious flav- 

 or; hardy and productive. Independent for- 

 tunes will be made in growing English Wal- 

 nuts for the man or woman who now plants 

 an orchard of from one to 500 trees. The 

 investment will prove to be better than the 

 purchase of government bonds. Price for 

 3 to 4 Ft. Trees S2.00 Each; Trees 2 to 3 

 ft. $1.50 Each. 



JAPAN WALNUTS— Tree a strong grower, 

 vigorous, and bears well; is highly produc- 

 tive and valuable as a nut and shade tree. 

 Nut rather thick shelled and flavored some- 

 what like the Butternut; not so valuable for 

 market. Trees 3 to 4 Ft., $1.75 Each; Trees 

 2 to 3 Ft., $1.25 Each. 



PECANS— Of all of the varieties of this lus- 

 cious and valuable nut family the Schley and 

 Stewart stand at the head of the list. The 

 Schley is a thrifty, strong grower; nuts 

 long, well-filled, with a very thin paper-like 



shell. Trees 3 to 4 ft., $2.75 Each; 2 to 3 ft., 

 $2.50 Each. 



STEWART— Probably the best known and 

 most valuable of all the Pecans. Extremely 

 hardy and a strong grower. Nuts of good 

 size and well filled; shell very thin and easilv 

 opened. Trees 3 to 4 ft., S3.00 Each; Trees 

 2 to 3 ft., $2.50 Each. 



PRICES— On large quantities of English Wal- 

 nuts and Pecans will be given on application.

 strictly speaking, a tree; productive and 

 bears extremely young; nuts of immense 

 size; fair quality. Not so highly flavored 

 as the native American Chestnut. * Price of 

 4 to 5 ft., trees S2.25 Each; 3 to 4 ft., trees 

 $2.00 Each. 



NATIVE AMERICAN CHESTNUT— Tree a 



strong, rapid grower, coming into bearing 

 6 to 8 years from planting. Very produc- 

 tive of medium size nuts which are sweet 

 and delicious. Price 4 to 5 ft., trees $2.50 

 Each; 3 to 4 ft. Trees $2.00 Each.
