The World's Most Eminent Authorities on 

 Tree Identification Say Bountiful Ridge Trees 

 Are "True-to-Name". 



Amherst, Mass, July 9th, 1945 

 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 



This is to state that we have examined for true- 

 ness-to-name all the saleable apple, pear, cherry and 

 plum stock of Bountiful Ridge Nuresries, near Prin- 

 cess Anne, Maryland, and as they now stand in the 

 nuresry row all varieties are, to the best of our 

 knowledge and belief true-to-name.

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 Kendall are same 

 season and are designated as by numbers 10a and 

 10b. 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 market- 

 ed. 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 conditions 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 (3") 



VvRIXPARENT ^^^ see description on page 4. 



CRIMSON BEAUTY <2) Slif "veV/hVJy'; 



strong grower and very productive; extremely early 

 bearer, ripens very early. A handsome red apple. Flesh 

 sub-acid, pleasant to eat out-of-hand. 



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 YelloAv Transparent. It ap- 

 pears to adapt itself over a wide growing area. The 

 fruit is medium to large size, averaging 21/2"; 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 i^ to V2 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. Tliis variety has 

 promise as an EARLY RED APPLE ADAPTED TO 

 BOTH HOME AND COMMERCIAL ORCHARD PLANT- 

 INGS.
