  The 
  above 
  is 
  an 
  aerial 
  photograph 
  of 
  our 
  nursery 
  in 
  part. 
  It 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  show 
  the 
  entire 
  acre- 
  

   age 
  contained 
  in 
  our 
  nursery 
  and 
  yet 
  make 
  it 
  distinguishable. 
  Here 
  we 
  believe 
  you 
  see 
  approximately 
  

   200 
  acres 
  of 
  as 
  fine 
  a 
  soil 
  for 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  nursery 
  stock 
  as 
  can 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  

  

  From 
  observation 
  you 
  will 
  see 
  that 
  the 
  dwelling 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Geo. 
  W. 
  Kemp, 
  General 
  Manager 
  of 
  our 
  

   nursery, 
  and 
  our 
  large 
  storage 
  houses 
  and 
  office 
  buildings 
  are 
  located 
  almost 
  in 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  our 
  nur- 
  

   sery. 
  These

  our

  near 
  which 
  you 
  will 
  notice 
  a 
  small

  con- 
  

   tains 
  mostly 
  new 
  varieties 
  brought

  so

  we 
  may

  them 
  from

  during 
  the

  We 
  have 
  been 
  growing 
  stock 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  open 
  blocks 
  and 
  this 
  

   year 
  planted 
  it 
  to 
  cover 
  crops 
  to 
  improve 
  it 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  get 
  it 
  ready 
  for 
  planting 
  again 
  to 
  nursery 
  stock 
  

   within 
  a 
  few 
  years. 
  

  

  It 
  has 
  been 
  said 
  that 
  the 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  Nurseries 
  do 
  not 
  grow 
  their 
  own 
  stock 
  and 
  that 
  they 
  

   buy 
  it 
  all. 
  We 
  are 
  giving 
  you 
  the 
  above 
  outline 
  of 
  our 
  main 
  nursery 
  at 
  Princess 
  Anne, 
  Maryland 
  and 
  

   you 
  can 
  draw 
  your 
  own 
  conclusions 
  as 
  to 
  whether 
  we 
  grow 
  very 
  much 
  stock 
  or 
  not. 
  

  

  Our 
  strawberry 
  plants 
  and 
  asparagus 
  plants 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  additional 
  grape 
  vines 
  are 
  grown 
  on 
  neigh- 
  

   boring 
  farms 
  which 
  have 
  a 
  lighter 
  type 
  of 
  soil 
  on 
  them 
  within 
  a 
  radius 
  of 
  10 
  miles 
  to 
  15 
  miles 
  of 
  our 
  

   nursery 
  while 
  other 
  types 
  of 
  stock 
  which 
  cannot 
  be 
  produced 
  to 
  a 
  good 
  advantage 
  in 
  this 
  immediate 
  

   area 
  we 
  have 
  produced 
  for 
  us 
  under 
  contract 
  and 
  grown 
  under 
  our 
  supervision 
  in 
  other 
  sections 
  where 
  

   they 
  can 
  be 
  grown 
  to 
  a 
  better 
  advantage. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  no 
  nursery 
  that 
  we 
  know 
  of 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  that 
  produces 
  all 
  the 
  stock 
  they 
  sell. 
  We 
  

   believe 
  we 
  come 
  as 
  near 
  to 
  it 
  as 
  any 
  nursery 
  you 
  will 
  find. 
  

  

  AVith 
  the 
  principal 
  part 
  of 
  our 
  fruit 
  trees 
  and 
  ornamentals 
  being 
  produced 
  in 
  a 
  concentrated 
  area, 
  

   there 
  is 
  always 
  a 
  minimum 
  of 
  exposure 
  to 
  the 
  stock 
  while 
  being 
  dug 
  and 
  it 
  reduces 
  our 
  production 
  cost 
  

   to 
  a 
  minimum 
  also 
  which 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  big 
  reasons 
  why 
  we 
  are 
  able 
  to 
  offer 
  our 
  products 
  at 
  a 
  fair 
  price 
  

   and 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  acreage 
  which 
  we 
  have, 
  giving 
  us 
  an 
  opportunity 
  to 
  change 
  from 
  field 
  to 
  field, 
  with 
  

   our 
  plantings, 
  we 
  can 
  produce 
  the 
  very 
  highest 
  type 
  of 
  trees 
  and 
  plants 
  possible 
  to 
  produce 
  and 
  produce 
  

   them 
  as 
  free 
  from 
  injurious 
  diseases 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  humanly 
  possible 
  to 
  do 
  so. 
  

  

  We 
  invite 
  any 
  one 
  to 
  come 
  to 
  our 
  nursery 
  at 
  any 
  time 
  and 
  give 
  us 
  the 
  opportunity 
  of 
  showing 
  

   them 
  around 
  and 
  while 
  it 
  is 
  perfectly 
  possible 
  that 
  they 
  will 
  not 
  see 
  the 
  largest 
  nursery 
  in 
  the 
  world, 
  

   for 
  we 
  have 
  no 
  desire 
  of 
  being 
  that, 
  we 
  believe 
  we 
  can 
  show 
  them 
  as 
  progressive 
  a 
  nursery 
  and 
  as 
  de- 
  

   pendable 
  a 
  nursery 
  as 
  they 
  can 
  find 
  anywhere 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States.
