  We 
  have 
  

   the

  2

  this 
  year 
  we 
  

   hare 
  grown 
  for 
  a

  time. 
  

   These 
  large 
  2

  trees 
  are 
  ideal 
  

   for 
  replanting 
  in 
  older 
  orchards 
  

   and 
  develop 
  very 
  rapidly

  We 
  point 
  with 
  pride 
  to 
  the 
  enviable 
  record 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  grown 
  trees 
  

   and 
  plants 
  have 
  established 
  in 
  fruiting 
  true 
  to 
  variety. 
  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   Nurserymans 
  greatest 
  problems 
  and 
  few 
  if 
  any 
  Nurserymen 
  have 
  made 
  a 
  closer 
  

   study 
  of 
  variety

  of 
  the 
  different 
  species 
  of 
  fruits

  we 
  here 
  

   at

  Our 
  long 
  production 
  experience 
  and 
  constant 
  study 
  of 
  dif- 
  

   ferent

  has 
  given 
  us 
  knowledge 
  of 
  varieties 
  that 
  can 
  be 
  gained 
  in 
  no 
  

   other

  Few 
  realize 
  how 
  essential 
  this 
  practical 
  experience 
  is 
  where 
  a 
  Nur- 
  

   sery 
  such 
  as 
  Bountiful

  is 
  producing 
  Hundreds 
  of 
  Thousands

   trees

   is
