  APPLE 
  TREES 
  

  

  No 
  other 
  fruit 
  can 
  take 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  apple 
  whether 
  it 
  is 
  planted 
  for 
  home 
  use 
  or 
  in 
  a 
  large 
  commercial 
  

   planting 
  for 
  profit. 
  No 
  other 
  fruit 
  will 
  thrive 
  over 
  so 
  wide 
  a 
  range 
  of 
  soil 
  and 
  climate. 
  No 
  other 
  fruit 
  has 
  the 
  

   general 
  health-giving 
  merits 
  of 
  the 
  apple.

  To 
  Whom 
  It 
  May 
  Concern 
  : 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  to 
  state 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  all 
  

   the 
  saleable 
  apple 
  stock 
  now 
  growing 
  in 
  the 
  

   nursery 
  of 
  Bountiful

   Princess 
  Anne. 
  Maryland, 
  and 
  as 
  they 
  now 
  

   stand 
  in 
  the

  row 
  all 
  varieties 
  are, 
  to 
  

   the

  and 
  belief, 
  true

  OUR 
  NURSERY 
  INSPECTED 
  BY 
  

   PROF. 
  J. 
  K. 
  SHAW 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Shaw 
  is 
  probably 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  greatest 
  authorities 
  

   in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  on 
  the 
  identification 
  of 
  fruit 
  tree 
  

   varieties. 
  We 
  were 
  mighty 
  glad 
  to 
  have 
  Dr. 
  Shaw 
  in 
  

   our 
  nurseries 
  for 
  three 
  days 
  during 
  the 
  latter 
  part 
  of 
  

   September 
  during 
  which 
  time 
  he 
  examined 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  

   saleable 
  apple 
  trees 
  we 
  now 
  have 
  growing 
  in 
  our 
  nur- 
  

   sery 
  and 
  certainly 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  this 
  inspection 
  was 
  

   a 
  great 
  source 
  of 
  satisfaction 
  to 
  us. 
  Dr. 
  Shaw 
  also 
  

   looked 
  over 
  the 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  fruit 
  which 
  we 
  have 
  

   growing 
  in 
  our 
  nursery 
  in 
  a 
  general 
  way. 
  This 
  should 
  

   serve 
  as 
  an 
  added 
  guarantee 
  that 
  those 
  who 
  purchase 
  

   stock 
  from 
  the 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  Nurseries 
  will 
  receive 
  

   trees 
  which 
  are 
  true 
  to 
  name. 
  This 
  is 
  an 
  added 
  ser- 
  

   vice 
  to 
  our 
  patrons 
  and 
  further 
  proof 
  that 
  we 
  desire 
  

   to 
  serve 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  most 
  satisfactory 
  way 
  possible.
