BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES — PRINCESS ANNE, MD. 



trees often attain a height at one year of six to seven feet with five-eighths inch 

 in caliber and no fertilization — the result of climiate, methods of production and soil. 

 Soil is the next big factor that enters into the production of high grade nur- 

 sery— AS THE TOP GROWS SO SHALL THE ROOTS GROW— a true saying. 

 The soil on which we produce our nursery stock is listed on the soil map of Mary- 

 land as being the best in the state — sassafras loam with a fine clay subsoil. Here 

 it is that we produce one of the finest — one of the best balanced root systems, it is 

 possible to grow, producing a fiber root system that cannot be equalled, being the 

 results of climatic conditions, methods of production, and soil. 



These are the reasons why we say we grow the best trees that money can buy 

 at any price and only ask that you give us a trial order, and we know the results 

 will be so gratifying to you that you shall always be a customer of the BOUNTI- 

 FUL RIDGE NURSERIES.

QUALITY AT REASONABLE PRICES 



As the old adage goes — "There is a reason for everything!" It is true and 

 we wish to give some of the reasons why w e are able to deliver you stock of the high- 

 est quality at reasonable prices. 



We employ no agents, selling direct to the planters of nursery stock, there- 

 by giving you a direct saving ranging from 30 per cent to 65 per cent, there is no 

 agent's commission, no deliveryman's charge and no collector's fee to come out of 

 the amount you pay us for the trees. We do a cash business which eliminates a 

 large expense with us through office help and bad accounts. These are probably 

 two of the greatest factors why we are a ble to deliver stock to you at less than one- 

 third the prices of the average agent's price on nursery stock. 



Our prices in this catalog are based on one profit direct to planter plan and are 

 as reasonable as any nurseryman can make them and deliver the high quality stock 

 that we deliver to our customers. We do not attempt to meet some of the prices 

 that you no doubt will receive from some other firms, and we know that no one 

 would ask us to, if they had the opportun ity first to see and compare the stock such 

 firms are offering them with our high grade stock. The first cost is the smallest 

 investment, be sure that you are buying from a reliable nursery, be sure that it 

 is produced under the best of conditions, and have every assurance that your stock 

 is TRUE TO NAME. Our explanation to those who wonder why our prices are 

 lower than some other nurseries doing a catalog business is that our very favor- 

 able location geographically enables us to reduce our cost of production to a min- 

 imum, having an unequalled soil and climate for the production of superior stock at 

 a minimum cost. We are passing these advantages on to our customers by giving 

 them the best trees that science can produce at a very reasonable price. Read the 

 many testimonials as to quality of our stock. You can place your order with us 

 with every assurance that you will receive the same high grade stock, unexcelled in 

 thriftiness and hardiness as our customers have been receiving in the past.

DIRECT FROM NURSERY 



This is what they say: "If the farmer makes his purchases direct from the
