The World’s Most Eminent Authorities on 
Tree Identification Say Bountiful Ridge Trees 
Are “True-to-Name.” 
Amherst, Mass., July 1, 1949 
To Whom It May Concern: 
This is to certify that all of the one to three 
year old budded apple trees, sweet cherry, one year 
pear and plum varieties propagated and now grow- 
ing in the nurseries of Bountiful Ridge Nurseries, 
Princess Anne, Maryland, have been examined by 
the Massachusetts True-to-Name Inspection Service. 
To the best of our knowledge, these trees are true- 
to-name as they now stand in the nursery row.

NOTE 
The ripening order of varieties is designated by 
bracketed number after the name. Varieties over- 
lapping in ripening season are indicated by sub- 
letter. Example: McIntosh and Cortland are same 
season and are designated as by numbers 9a and 
9b. We are endeavoring to give the ripening order 
and not the picking order as this will vary greatly 
according to the grower and where they are mar- 
keted. Many of our green apples are picked early 
for cooking purposes. Other highly colored red 
apples are marketed long before actual ripening 
time and again soil, fertilization and climatic con- 
ditions will cause a variation in ripening season. 
We trust this listing will be helpful to you. We 
have endeavored to make it as authentic as possible.

THE NEW “CLOSE” APPLE (>) 
A PRODUCT OF THE U.S.D.A. BUREAU OF PLANT 
INDUSTRY DEVELOPED BY PROF. C. P. CLOSE 
This variety tested as U. S. D. A. No. 57, ripens with 
or Slightly ahead of the Yellow Transparent. It ap- 
pears to adapt itself over a wide growing area. The 
fruit is medium to large size, averaging 2%’’; fair to 
good quality, suitable for both dessert and cooking. 
The fruit develops a bright attractive color when full 
ripe but when grown for the large commercial markets 
would have to be picked with 4 to % color. It seems 
to stand high summer temperatures well. The tree is 
vigorous, productive, annual bearer and comes into 
fruiting while the trees are young. This variety has 
promise as an HARLY RED APPLE ADAPTED TO 
BOT HOME AND COMMERCIAL ORCHARD PLANT- 
INGS.
