  400,000

  We 
  made 
  our 
  first 
  planting 
  of 
  Nursery 
  Stock 
  in 
  Somerset 
  County, 
  Maryland, 
  in 
  the 
  Spring 
  of 
  1907. 
  The 
  

   results 
  obtained 
  from 
  this 
  planting 
  were 
  such 
  that 
  we 
  knew 
  we 
  had 
  ideal 
  conditions 
  to 
  develop 
  the 
  Nursery 
  

   Business 
  at 
  our 
  new 
  location. 
  Here 
  at 
  Princess 
  Anne, 
  we 
  could 
  grow 
  a 
  fruit 
  tree 
  as 
  large 
  in 
  two 
  years 
  as 
  we 
  

   could 
  possibly 
  grow 
  it 
  in 
  three 
  years 
  in 
  Pennsylvania 
  where 
  we 
  were 
  formerly 
  located. 
  We 
  could 
  grow 
  it 
  with 
  less 
  

   fertilization. 
  We 
  could 
  produce 
  a 
  tree 
  or 
  plant 
  with 
  a 
  better 
  root 
  system. 
  We 
  could 
  grow 
  a 
  more 
  uniform 
  growth 
  

   on 
  our 
  stock, 
  giving 
  the 
  planters 
  a 
  tree 
  or 
  plant 
  each 
  year 
  that 
  would 
  run 
  uniform 
  in 
  size. 
  WE 
  COULD 
  GROW 
  

   OUR 
  STOCK 
  WITHOUT 
  FEAR 
  OF 
  WINTER 
  INJURY 
  FROM 
  SUDDEN 
  FREEZES 
  AND 
  LOW 
  TEMPERA- 
  

   TURES. 
  We 
  could 
  produce 
  a 
  tree 
  or 
  plant 
  that 
  would 
  thrive 
  whether 
  it 
  was 
  planted 
  in 
  the 
  Far 
  North 
  or 
  South 
  

   or 
  West. 
  Our 
  stock 
  grows 
  naturally 
  and 
  with 
  our 
  long 
  growing 
  season 
  it 
  is 
  permitted 
  to 
  mature 
  naturally. 
  Since 
  

   our 
  first 
  plantings 
  here 
  at 
  our 
  present 
  location 
  we 
  have 
  worked 
  diligently 
  to 
  develop 
  a 
  dependable 
  source 
  to 
  

   which 
  the 
  planters 
  could 
  go 
  from 
  all 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  and 
  purchase 
  whatever 
  stock 
  we 
  may 
  offer 
  

   with 
  the 
  assurance 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  going 
  to 
  get 
  100% 
  value 
  with 
  every 
  dollar's 
  worth 
  of 
  Nursery 
  Stock 
  they 
  might 
  

   purchase 
  from 
  us. 
  We 
  believe 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  greatest 
  essentials 
  to 
  your 
  satisfaction 
  is 
  the 
  personal 
  supervision 
  

   which 
  we 
  endeavor 
  to 
  give 
  every 
  Department 
  of 
  our 
  Nursery, 
  combined 
  with 
  our 
  years 
  of 
  experience 
  which 
  we 
  

   have 
  had 
  in 
  the 
  production 
  and 
  distribution 
  of 
  Nursery 
  Stock. 
  Mr. 
  Geo. 
  W. 
  Kemp, 
  General 
  Manager, 
  of 
  our 
  

   Nursery, 
  who 
  is 
  now 
  rounding 
  out 
  his 
  sixty-ninth 
  year 
  has 
  given 
  his 
  entire 
  life 
  to 
  the 
  study 
  of 
  producing 
  and 
  

   distributing 
  Nursery 
  Stock. 
  His 
  two 
  sons, 
  Edgar 
  H. 
  Kemp 
  and 
  Homer 
  S. 
  Kemp 
  have 
  spent 
  most 
  of 
  their 
  years 
  

   since 
  childhood 
  in 
  the 
  Nursery 
  Business 
  with 
  their 
  father 
  and 
  being 
  directly 
  associated 
  with 
  him 
  over 
  these 
  

   many 
  years 
  enables 
  us 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  time 
  to 
  produce 
  stock 
  which 
  we 
  know 
  will 
  give 
  you 
  satisfaction 
  in 
  every 
  

   way, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  increasing 
  volume 
  of 
  business 
  which 
  comes 
  to 
  us 
  each 
  year 
  from 
  all 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  

   States 
  and 
  Canada, 
  we 
  feel 
  that 
  we 
  are 
  serving 
  the 
  planters 
  in 
  a 
  most 
  satisfactory 
  manner. 
  This 
  expression 
  of 
  

   confidence 
  on 
  the 
  part 
  of 
  our 
  patrons 
  has 
  enabled 
  us 
  to 
  develop 
  our 
  Nursery 
  to 
  the 
  extent 
  that 
  we 
  are 
  now 
  

   classed 
  as 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  largest 
  fruit 
  tree 
  growing 
  Nurseries 
  selling 
  direct 
  to 
  the 
  planters 
  through 
  our 
  catalog, 
  

   that 
  there 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Eastern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States. 
  

  

  The 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  Nurseries 
  has 
  always 
  tried 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  the 
  open 
  in 
  anything 
  they 
  said 
  or 
  did 
  towards 
  their 
  

   customers. 
  We 
  know 
  that 
  you 
  are 
  often 
  told 
  not 
  to 
  buy 
  that 
  Southern 
  Stock 
  or 
  that 
  Northern 
  Stock. 
  You 
  are 
  

   often 
  told 
  that 
  you 
  will 
  be 
  treated 
  unfair 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  stock 
  will 
  be 
  inferior 
  in 
  quality 
  or 
  infected 
  with 
  disease 
  

   which 
  you 
  would 
  receive 
  from 
  us. 
  We 
  cannot 
  always 
  be 
  present 
  to 
  refute 
  these 
  charges 
  so 
  we 
  must 
  tell 
  you 
  of 
  

   our 
  Nursery 
  and 
  our 
  stock 
  in 
  black 
  and 
  white 
  print 
  so 
  you 
  can 
  read 
  it 
  for 
  yourself 
  and 
  if 
  necessary 
  show 
  it 
  to 
  

   the 
  persons 
  who 
  make 
  these 
  untrue 
  statements 
  about 
  us. 
  Certainly 
  if 
  their 
  charges 
  were 
  true 
  our 
  sales 
  to 
  the 
  

   planters 
  would 
  not 
  have 
  showed 
  a 
  constant 
  increase 
  each 
  year 
  until 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  we 
  are 
  distributing 
  nearly 
  

   a 
  half 
  million 
  fruit 
  trees 
  each 
  vear 
  besides 
  several 
  millions 
  of 
  small 
  berry 
  plants 
  and 
  other 
  Nursery 
  Stock. 
  WE 
  

   DON'T 
  CLAIM 
  TO 
  BE 
  PERFECT 
  AND 
  WE 
  DON'T 
  SAY 
  THAT 
  WE 
  NEVER 
  MAKE 
  A 
  MISTAKE, 
  FOR 
  IF 
  WE 
  

   DID, 
  WE 
  WOULD 
  BE 
  TELLING 
  A 
  DELIBERATE 
  UNTRUTH 
  BUT 
  WE 
  DO 
  SAY 
  THAT 
  WE 
  ARE 
  MEN 
  

   ENOUGH 
  TO 
  ADMIT 
  OUR 
  MISTAKES 
  WHEN 
  WE 
  MAKE 
  THEM 
  AND 
  DO 
  OUR 
  BEST 
  TO 
  CORRECT 
  THEM. 
  

   WE 
  DON'T 
  WANT 
  TO 
  GET 
  YOUR 
  ORDER 
  BY 
  RIDICULING 
  OTHER 
  NCR 
  SERIES. 
  WE 
  WANT 
  YOUR 
  OR- 
  

   DER 
  ON 
  THE 
  MERITS 
  OF 
  OUR 
  STOCK 
  AND 
  OUR 
  METHODS 
  OF 
  DOING 
  BUSINESS. 
  The 
  reports 
  of 
  various 
  

   State 
  Inspectors 
  who 
  have 
  inspected 
  our 
  shipments 
  on 
  their 
  arrival 
  to 
  the 
  planters, 
  show 
  that 
  we 
  are 
  delivering 
  

   disease 
  free 
  stock. 
  The 
  many 
  fine 
  letters 
  we 
  receive 
  from 
  our 
  patrons 
  in 
  the 
  Far 
  North 
  prove 
  the 
  hardiness 
  of 
  

   our 
  stock 
  in 
  the 
  Northern 
  States. 
  The 
  results 
  of 
  our 
  st^fc 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  planted 
  in 
  the 
  Southern 
  Districts 
  

   show 
  it 
  will 
  do 
  well 
  in 
  the 
  South 
  and 
  West.
