VICTORY - READJUSTMENT - PROGRESS 



Since sending you onr last catalogue events of World importance have taken place in rapid succession. 

 Naturally most of us think of our great Victories, in arms, over our European and Asiatic foes. Every 

 home in America has been affected one way or another to bring the wars end and final victory. May 

 God grant that we will, as freedom conscious peoples, give thanks for our attained victories, and ask 

 for guidance in bringing our great country back to normal conditions. We must face the readjustment 

 with the same determination that we displayed during the war period. OUR TASK NOW IS TO 

 SHOW THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD THAT OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PRINCH^LES OF GOV- 

 ERNMENT ARE BUILDED ON A FIRM FOUNDATION. LET US ALL TAKE THIS TASK SER- 

 IOUSLY. 



Every planter, however large or small, should start today figuring his immediate and possible 

 future needs of Nursery stock. PLAN AND PLANT FOR FUTURE PRODUCTION AND BEAUTY. 

 You will find our listings very complete, a tree and plant for every purpose. '"THE FARM IS THE 

 ANCHOR THAT WILL HOLD THROUGH THE STORMS THAT SWEEP ALL ELSE AWAY." 



Here at Bountiful Ridge our whole plans are, to be alert to our customers needs and do that which 

 will give them better service and satisfaction. We are adding Cold storage rooms to our storages, for 

 some of the more perishable stock. These alterations and improvements give us more than 10,000 sq. 

 ft. of floor space of the most modern, frost proof and heat resistant Nursery storages, grading and 

 assembling rooms in the East. Production of all Nursery items will be expanded as rapidly as practical 

 and efficient labor becomes available. Please take into consideration however that it takes several 

 years to produce finished stock of many Nursery items and shortages will necessarily exist on many 

 trees and plants for several years. 



We have missed our personal visits with our friends during our commercial exhibits in various 

 sections and hope to be able to resume these exhibits during winter of 1946-47. We shall always be 

 glad to have you visit our nursery when possible. Our plans are to build a better and greater Bounti- 

 ful Ridge Nurseries with the coming years and we ask for the continued patronage of you and your 

 friends with our assurance that you will always be served in a satisfactory manner. 





OUR GUARANTEE AND PLEDGE 



We guarantee the trees and plants we ship to be as represented and invoiced for in grade and qual- 

 ity and if upon arrival you do not find them to be as we state they are, return them to us securely pack-

 refund every dollar you have paid for them. Adequate State and Federal inspection certificates are sent 

 with every shipment guaranteeing protection from injurious diseases when you buy Bountiful Ridge 

 groM^n trees and plants. We cannot, under all circumstances, guarantee our trees and plants to grow, 

 because continued growth depends largely on soil and weather conditions at planting time as well as

 must be made within ten days after arrival.
