GREETINGS FOR 1946-47 



We like to take this part of our catalogue each year to impart to all those who receive it a personal message 

 of greetings from the Kemp Boys here at Bountiful Ridge. Another page has been written in the tablet of time. 

 We now look forward to another year with hope for world peace and economic stabilization for everyone. We 

 feel that each order sent to us is an expression of confidence in the Bountiful Ridge Nurseries and its Manage- 

 ment. We are grateful for this confidence and support which has enabled us to build our Nursery to what it is 

 today. Your orders are an inspiration and the many fine letters we receive makes us feel that our untiring efforts 

 in producing the best Nursery stock possible to grow and deliver are indeed appreciated. We want the quality of 

 our stock to justify the continued patronage of all our customers and their friends. 



We have produced a fine lot of stock for this year. We wish you could come see some of our fine one year 

 apple trees as they are growing in the nursery rows, many of them over 6 feet high, this growth being made 

 without the help of fertilizers, just natural growth in our good soil we have here at Bountiful Ridge and of course 

 with the aid of good care during the growing season. Acres and acres of well filled beds of Strawberry Plants, 

 just the picture of health and vigor. Thousands and thousands of the Large Cultivated Blueberry Plants, vigorous, 

 thrifty, ready to do their bit for you when planted. Our other stock offered is just a little better than usual, the 

 result of being grown under our personal direction. In the pages that follow we offer our readers a Wide and 

 Varied line of Nursery stock, one of the most complete listings to be found in any Nursery catalogue. 



We are the Third Generation of our Kemp family engaged in growing and selling a varied line of Nursery 

 stock, always specializing in Fruits of all kinds. Our general knowledge of all classes of fruits gained over these 

 many years has served us well in enabling us to select to the finest types of the various fruits of their respective 

 varieties. We have our own testing methods and travel thousands of miles each year in all parts of the country 

 observing our fruits and new fruits being grown under most every varied condition. We try to know what our 

 stock and our fruits will do where-ever they may be planted. OUR VARIETY LISTINGS ARE A LOOK TO 

 THE FUTURE FOR THE GROWER. It is our job and nothing else, to try to give our patrons the best values 

 in Nursery stock their money can buy. These are some of the reasons why Bountiful Ridge Grown trees and 

 plants are leaders in production. This is why the fruits "from our trees and plants lead on most markets and give 

 the grower greater profits. This is why we say "IT PAYS TO PLANT BOUNTIFUL RIDGE GROWN TREES 

 AND PLANTS." 





OUR GUARANTEE AND PLEDGE 



We guarantee the treesl_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 

 grown trees and plants. We cannot, under all circumstances guarantee our trees apd plants to grow, 

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

 planting and after care of trees and plants, and we have no control over these conditions. After ten 

 days it is mutually understood that the Nursery stock shipped to you is satisfactory and claims, if any, 

 must be made within ten days after arrival. 



We reserve the right to adjust claims for replacement of stock made after this 10 day period in

 Bountiful Ridge Nurseries can Proudly point to an unbroken period of Progress, development and ever 

 increasing service to the planters in all sections of the United States, Canada and many foreign countries. 

 The capable and conservative management of the past and present pledge themselves to serve their 

 patrons in a satisfactory manner, consistent with conditions within our control.
