OUR GREETINGS AT THE CROSS ROADS 



As we travel lifes way we realize we have something we can and should 

 do. It is this feeling among the great majority of the people of the United 

 States and the AVorld that instills the thought which results in what Ave 

 commonly term Progress — Progress as it may be applied to individuals, 

 business interests, towns, states, countries. Thinking this out Ave can see 

 the part the individuals can really play in the destinies of our country or 

 the World. History relates the interesting facts of IndiAaduals, Countries, 

 the "World, so that Ave may profit by these narrations. All this is meant 

 to start YOU thinking of the problems of today. 



In the face of continued adA-ancing nroduction costs of everything Ave 

 produce in our nursery, THE BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES have made 

 reductions of OA^er 2Q% in many of their principal fruits and berries, this 

 year. The prices of Nursery stock became almost static nearly four years 

 ago, and this represents the second successive reduction in prices Avhen 

 most all other items have continued a steady adA'ance in price. When you 

 consider that most everything we produce and sell to you is planted for the 

 purpose of bringing you greater return of money and the essentials of life 

 rather than taking it aAvav from you THEN IT IS, YOU REALIZE THE 

 FAIRNESS OF OUR NURSERY IN MAINTAINING AND LOWERING 

 OUR PRICES TO THE PLANTERS DURING THE LAST FEW YEARS. 

 We cannot reap if we do not sow — You cannot harvest if you do not plant. 

 WE BELIEVE IN, LIVE AND LET LIVE PRICES TO ALL, AND THAT 

 IS WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN OUR CATALOGUE AND GENERAL 

 POLICY TOWARDS ALL OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Our catalogue is not designed for beauty of pictures but to give you an 

 honest description of the products Ave sell. We are constantly aware of 

 changing varieties and production methods for fruits. The experience 

 gained thru three generations of the Kemps in the Nursery Business enables 

 ui to evalute fruits and Ornamentals and select and offer our patrons the 

 BEST. We believe our trees and plants are superior or equal to the BEST. 

 WB KNOW THEY WILL GIVE YOU RESULTS WHEREVER PLANTED 

 IF PROPERLY CARED FOR. NO MATTER IF YOUR ORDER IS LARGE 

 OR SMALL. WHENEVER YOU PLANT, WE WANT YOU TO PLAINT 

 BOUNTIFUL RIDGE GROWN TREES AND PLANTS. We shall look 

 forward to hearing from you this year.
