Our Fruits Show Productiveness, Adaptability in Far South 



College Park, Ga., February 16, 1932. 

 Bountiful Ridge Nurseries, , 



Princess Anne, Md. 

 Gentlemen: 



Four years ago I sent you an order for one thousand Delicious apple trees, one year old. At the same time I ordered 

 some two-year-old trees from another firm. At the present time it would be impossible for anyone to tell which are the 

 older trees. The past year I harvested quite a lot of apples from the trees. 



I also ordered about two hundred peach trees from you, and last year I sold my peaches readily at $2.00 per bushel, 

 while ordinary peaches went begging at fifty cents. I also sold plums from the two hundred Abundance and Waneta trees 

 purchased from you at $3.20 per 32-quart crate while others were begging the public to buy their fruit at less than $1.00 

 per bushel. One fruit stand sold the Wanetas at two for five cents. I sold thousands of pounds of Concord grapes from 

 the one thousand vines bought at the same time I bought the trees at four cents per pound while others were advertisinc: 

 grapes at 2% cents, and buyers kept coming for weeks after the crop was gone. Wish I had set more Niagaras, as I could 

 get my own price for the limited number I had of them. The dwarf pear trees began bearing the year I set them, and 

 last fall grape buyers were astounded to see those little trees bending to the ground with great big pears. Sold dewberries 

 from the one thousand plants at five cents above the market. Did equally well from the one thousand Eldorado blackberry 

 plants. 



Considering the fact that I did not live here on the farm the first three years after setting the fruit and had to depend 

 upon very inefficient help, and at times no help at all, it is little wonder that the community in this short time should 

 begin to dub me a sort of fruit wizard. I tell them that anyone could have done as well with the kind of stock I had to 

 start with and they could have done even better had they given it better care than I found it possible for me under the 

 circumstances. The above facts may be easily substantiated. 



I almost forgot to tell you that the six Montmorency and Early Richmond cherry trees were loaded with fruit. 



Yours truly, 



J. D. PRICKETT.
