As One of America’s Leading Fruits, Peaches Continue 
to Be A Great Profit-Maker and General Favorite of 
Growers in Commercial and Home Plantings. 
PROPER VARIETY AND TREE SELECTION WILL LEAD TO QUICKER 
RESULTS AND GREATER PROFITS AND SATISFACTION 
GENERAL PEACH TREE SUPPLY 
For Fall 1955 — Spring 1956 
We are glad to say that we had a very favorable growing 
season during summer 1955 and our trees have grown nor- 
mally and are beautiful. The picture in next columns and 
on page 4+ can give you some idea of what they look like but 
to really appreciate these fine fields of peach trees you should 
see them if possible. These pictures were taken in DParly 
September 1955. We stopped cultivation in late August and 
as this catalogue goes to press they are curing out fine hav- 
ing adequate moisture and early frosts making the trees 
“Pictures of health.” 
Our supply of Peach trees is about normal for this year. 
Estimates before digging time show we should have about 
250,000 trees. Advance sales have been heavy, some varieties 
are limited at this early date, so it is important that you try 
and make up your planting list as early as possible to avoid 
disappointment in securing the varieties you wish to plant. 
WE INVITE YOUR INQUIRIES ON ALL VARIETIES WE 
LIST AT WHICH TIME WE CAN TELL YOU WHAT WE 
HAVE OF THE VARIETIES YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. 
The general supply of peach trees, as we get in reports 
from various sources, indicates the total far less than last 
year 1954-55. The late March freeze of last spring killed and 
damaged many thousands of young trees and seedlings in 
the area affected by this freeze. It did not reach our section, 
for which we are very thankful. Many Nurseries have re- 
duced their production of Peach trees as the demand for Or- 
namentals have_inereased. YOU CAN SEE WHEN GOING 
THRU THIS CATALOGUE THAT WE SPECIALIZE IN 
FRUIT TREES AND BERRY PLANTS AND OUR TREES 
AND PLANTS GO INTO MOST ALL FRUIT SECTIONS OF 
THE U. S., CANADA, MANY FOREIGN COUNTRIES. IN 
VIEW OF THIS WE TRY TO HAVE ABOUT THE SAME 
AMOUNT OF TREES EACH YEAR. 
BOUNTIFUL .RIDGE GROWN TREES ARE “BEST BY 
TEST”. A fruit grower in VIRGINIA WRITES: ‘WE 
1 BEEN USING YOUR TREES FOR YEARS. THE 
REASON WE HAVE BEEN USING THEM IS, THEY HAVE 
BEEN RUNNING TRUE TO NAME.” . YES, THIS IS IM- 
PORTANT TO ALL PLANTERS. WE HOPE TO HAVE 
THE PRIVILEGE OF SUPPLYING YOUR PLANTING 
NEEDS THIS YEAR. 
SPECIAL NOTE 
We want you to plant BOUNTIFUL RIDGE trees. 
Our trees are as good as can be produced. When 
wanting more than 300 peach trees, write to us giv- 
ing list and we will quote you special prices con- 
sistent with market conditions at that time.

A view of our PEACH trees growing at Bountiful Ridge 
Summer 1955. Fruit growers visiting our Nursery say “They 
are the best trees we have seen” and they really are as good 
as anyone could expect to grow. You will like them. Let us 
help you plan your plantings. 
DON’T GUESS — BUY BOUNTIFUL RIDGE TREES 
Dixired, a product of the U.S.D.A., is a 
elingstone, medium size, round with 
light pubescence. About three-fourths of the surface is cov- 
ered with a bright attractive red blush. Flesh is Yellow, 
firm but melting, medium textured and of good flavor. The 
outstanding characteristics of Dixired are its unusual firm- 
ness and slow rate of softening for an early peach, plus an 
attractive appearance. The fruit acquires color long before 
it is ready to pick. Dixired is recommended for trial as an 
early shipping peach. 
ERLY-RED-FRE (2d) See outside front cover for nat-

Red-Fre on Nematode Resistant Root Stock 10 cents extra 
per tree on all grades. 
\ GOLDRAY (2) 
A NEW BUD SPORT OF THE FAMOUS GOLDEN 
JUBILEE PEACH. RIPENING TWO WEEKS EARLIER 
INTRODUCED BY BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES 
SPRING 1950. 
First observed by us during fruiting season of 1939 on the 
fruit farms of J. Roy Cunningham, Lancaster, South Caro- 
lina, the original planting being made from Bountiful Ridge 
grown tree 
THE SIZE, 
DIXIRED (2°) 
BEAUTY, QUALITY AND GENERAL CHAR- 
ACTERISTICS WERE SO OUTSTANDING, RIPENING SO 
MUCH EARLIER THAN THE BALANCE OF THE GOLD- 
EN JUBILEE TREE. WE FELT IT HELD REAL POS- 
SIBILITIES. We began testing the variety, and we are glad 
that it has proven even better than anticipated and we now 
pass it on to the patrons of Bountiful Ridge Nurseries with 
a sense cf pride. 
GOLDRAY fruits are large or larger than regular Jubilee. 
The quality is equal to Golden Jubilee. Goldray has a beau- 
tiful bright red blush on a real golden background. Goldray 
will cling to pit when not fully ripe and like regular Jubilee 
has a tender skin and flesh, being more adapted for home 
use, roadstand markets and nearby commercial markets. 
GOLDRAY TREES are very vigerous, making a heavy set 
of buds which in our tests have proven as hardy or more 
hardy than regular Jubilee resulting in very regular crops. 
PLANT GOLDRAY AND STEP UP YOUR GOLDEN JUBI- 
LEE SEASON.

“EARLY EAST (N.J. 134) ‘s) 
By popular demand we add the Early East to our peach 
list because of its behavior in certain fruit districts. It is 
medium to large, yellow fleshed, ripening about 10 days be- 
fore Golden Jubilee. The fruit attains an attractive red col-

or and fair edible quality. It is hardy and productive. 
Ships well and is recommended for home and commercial 
plantings. Flesh clings to pit when hard ripe but becomes 
free when fruit ripens.
