CARDINAL KING 



ORIGINATED IN MICHIGAN WHERE IT GAVE REC- 

 ORD BEARING CROPS. A FULL FLAVORED SOLID 

 RED BERRY FOR TABLE AND FREEZING. RIPENS 

 SLIGHTLY AFTER PREMIER. WORTHY OF TRIAL. A 

 HOME RUN BERRY

Kardinal King has 

 created something of a 

 sensation in Michigan 

 by producing record 

 breaking crops which 

 outsold all other varie- 

 t i e s in competition. 

 Buyers praise it for 

 high shipping quality. 

 Does equally well for 

 canning and freezing. 



The plants grow 

 large, m a k i n g wide 

 fruiting rows. Berries 

 ripen slightly after 

 Premier and continue 

 through the late sea- 

 son. The fruits are 

 large, solid red, juicy 

 and sweet. We recom- 

 mend Kardinal King 

 for trial in all areas 

 where Premier and 

 Catskill grow success- 

 fully. 



A full quart of KARDINA1 

 KING Berries. Note large size. 



ROBINSON 



(SCARLET BEAUTY) 



A comparatively new variety being given a lot of favorable 

 comments from most Michigan plant growers. The berries 

 are medium to large size — beautiful bright red color and 

 firm. It seems to be a free plant maker and the foliage is 

 healthy. Berries begin ripening about 7 to 10 days later than 

 Premier. From all reports the Robinson is a worthy mid- 

 season to late berry especially adapted to commercial grow- 

 ing and we feel should be given a thorough trial under east- 

 ern central and northern growing conditions. 



PREMIER 



Premier still stands as a real money-maker. It has a re- 

 cord very hard to equal as an early market berry. Until the 

 introduction of the Blakemore it had no equal as a variety 

 that would adapt itself to most all soil and climatic condi- 

 tions. It can be considered almost frostproof. It has never 

 failed in a crop in this section since it was introduced. The 

 berries average large and hold up well under heavy crops 

 and unfavorable seasonable conditions; it ripens over a com- 

 paratively long period, from two to three weeks; the berries 

 have an attractive bright red color and unusual quality. It 

 is moderately firm. It is one of the best of the tried and 

 proven early varieties. 



HOWARD 17. Conceded by all eminent horticulturists to 

 be the same as Premier. 



VIRUS FREE PREMIER are unusually vigorous and free 

 plant makers. The foliage is lighter in color and the berries 

 are lighter in color and possibly not as firm as the old type 

 Premier but berries have Premier shape and quality with 

 the added advantage that you will always be assured of hav- 

 ing a wide picking bed. Plant Bountiful Ridge grown Virus 

 Free Premier this year. 



NOTE— WE ARE GROWING THE OLD TYPE PREMIER 

 AS WELL AS THE VIRUS FREE PREMIER. PLEASE 

 STATE WHAT TYPE WANTED WHEN PLACING YOUR 

 ORDER. 



We are again growing this wonderful late berry. It is 

 quite a large berry with beautiful red color and good flavor. 

 A sure winner to extend the season for the home garden or 

 roadside stand. Redstar is so late that frost is seldom a 

 problem. It is one of the most reliable croppers we have. 

 VIRUS FREE Redstar plants grown by Bountiful Ridge are 

 of outstanding vigor. 



Note the vigor of t 

 the Redstar plants or 

 satisfaction.

Virus Free MIDLAND 



Midland is another variety which we are now growing 

 again because Virus Free stocks have made it possible to do 

 it profitably. Many feel that it is one of the finest berry va- 

 rieties. The fruit is large, brilliantly colored, quite firm and 

 of fine flavor. This variety is especially good for freezing as 

 well as any fresh market. Virus Free plants of MIDLAND 

 should do well for anyone experienced in the growing of 

 strawberries. We suggest you try them this year. 



V 



EMPIRE 



A uew variety introduced by the New York Experimental 

 Station at Geneva. Tested in many sections. EMPIRE is a 

 vigorous grower making good fruiting bed. Does not pro- 

 duce as many berries per plant as Premier but berries are 

 generally larger, firm, of excellent flavor and freezing quali- 

 ty. Grows well in Premier sections. EMPIRE shows much 

 promise and we recommend it for trial. 



We now have Virus Free EMPIRE. 



Empire berries picked at Princess Anne, becoming more 

 and more popular each year in central and northern areas. 



AN OLD 



CUSTOMER SAYS BOUNTIFUL RIDGE 

 TREES ARE BEST 



Caro, Mich., Feb. 21, 1957 

 Quite a few years ago we bought 1100 peach trees from 

 your nursery. I remember that they were your cheapest 

 trees. They turned out to be the best peach trees we ever 

 bought and planted.
