Our Trees Are Inspected For 

 Trueness-To-Name 



THERE IS NO GUESS-WORK WHEN YOU PLANT 

 BOUNTIFUL RIDGE GROWN STOCK 



The World's Most Eminent Authorities on Ti-ee 

 Identification Say Bountiful Ridge Trees Are "True- 

 to-Name." 



Amherst, Mass., July 28, 1953 

 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 



All of the apple, pear, plum, sweet cherry, and 2 year 

 sour cherry varieties propagated and now growing at 

 Bountiful Ridge Nurseries, Princess Anne, Maryland, 

 have been examined by the Massachusetts Trueness-to- 

 Name Inspection Service. To the best of our knowledge, 

 these trees are true to name as they now stand in the 

 nursery row.

YELLOW TRANSPARENT <2») 



Holds a long record as our most widely planted early com- 

 mercial apple. Tree grows upright, hardy, early bearer, 

 good size, skin clear white to pale yellow in color. Flavor 

 very good. Is an excellent cooking apple known to the 

 housewife everywhere. Ripens early July. 



^ THE NEW "CLOSE" APPLE (2") 



A product of the U.S.D.A. Bureau of Plant Industry, deve- 

 loped by Prof. C. P. Close. 



This variety ripens Avith or slightly ahead of the Yellow 

 Transparent. It appears to adapt itself over a Avide grow- 

 ing area. The fruit is medium to large size, averaging 2iA": 

 fair to good quality, suitable for both dessert and cooking. 

 The tree is vigorous, productive, annual bearer. 



NOTE 



The ripening order of varieties is designated by brack- 

 eted number after the name. Varieties overlapping in 

 ripening season are indicated by subletter. Example: 

 Mcintosh and Cortland are same season and are desig- 

 nated 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 marketed. 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 list- 

 ing will be helpful to you. We have endeavored to make 

 it as authentic as possible. 



WRIXPARENT <i) 



See description on page IG. 



^ CRIMSON BEAUTY <2) 



Originated in Maine. 



Very hardy, strong 

 grower and very productive; extremely early bearer, ripens 

 very early. A handsome red apple. Flesh sub-acid, pleas- 

 ant to eat out-of-hand.
