   ranging

  4

  ft. 
  in

  and 
  still 
  growing 
  

   strong. 
  Properly 
  sprayed, 
  with 
  healthy 
  foliage 
  and 
  

   strong 
  roots 
  these 
  trees 
  will 
  give 
  the 
  desired

  planted. 
  

  

  Location 
  and 
  Production 
  Methods 
  

  

  The 
  Delmarva 
  Peninsula 
  is 
  fast 
  becoming 
  known 
  as 
  

   the 
  greatest 
  nursery 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  East 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  

   very 
  favorable 
  climatic 
  conditions 
  and 
  varied 
  soils. 
  We 
  

   often 
  have 
  temperatures 
  ranging 
  down 
  to 
  10 
  degrees 
  be- 
  

   low 
  zero 
  during 
  the 
  winter 
  months 
  and 
  our 
  frost 
  starts 
  

   in 
  early 
  October 
  to 
  properly 
  cure 
  out 
  our 
  growing 
  

   stock; 
  our 
  killing 
  frost 
  usually 
  coming 
  the 
  last 
  week 
  in 
  

   October 
  or 
  the 
  first 
  week 
  in 
  November. 
  Statistics 
  

   show 
  we 
  have 
  an 
  average 
  yearly 
  temperature 
  of 
  56 
  de- 
  

   grees 
  as 
  compared 
  with 
  58 
  degrees 
  Fahrenheit 
  at 
  Atlan- 
  

   ta, 
  Ga., 
  and 
  53 
  degrees 
  Fahrenheit 
  at 
  Columbus, 
  O., 
  and 
  

   50 
  degrees 
  Fahrenheit 
  at 
  Hartford, 
  Conn. 
  However, 
  our 
  

   summer 
  growing 
  seasons 
  are 
  so 
  favorable 
  that 
  it 
  en- 
  

   ables 
  us 
  to 
  produce 
  maximum 
  growth 
  with 
  a 
  minimum 
  

   of 
  fertilization. 
  Our 
  soil 
  varies 
  from 
  a 
  rich 
  chocolate 
  

   loam, 
  where 
  our 
  deeper 
  rooted 
  plants 
  and 
  trees 
  are 
  

   grown 
  to 
  the 
  lighter 
  sandy 
  soils, 
  where 
  our 
  small 
  ber- 
  

   ry 
  plants 
  and 
  asparagus 
  roots 
  are 
  grown. 
  Our 
  water 
  

   table 
  is 
  very 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  surface 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  seldom 
  af- 
  

   fected 
  by 
  severe 
  drouths. 
  With 
  this 
  combination 
  of 
  

   soil 
  and 
  climatic 
  conditions, 
  we 
  know 
  of 
  no 
  other 
  sec- 
  

   tions 
  that 
  can 
  produce 
  nursery 
  stock 
  with 
  so 
  uniform 
  

   a 
  growth 
  from 
  year 
  to 
  year. 
  

  

  WITH 
  OVER 
  75 
  YEARS 
  NURSERY 
  PRODUCTION 
  

   EXPERIENCE 
  IN 
  THE 
  KEMP 
  FAMILY, 
  WE 
  ARE 
  

   TODAY 
  COMBINING 
  THIS 
  PRACTICAL 
  KNOWL- 
  

   EDGE 
  WITH 
  IMPROVED 
  PRODUCTION 
  METH- 
  

   ODS 
  AND 
  MODERN 
  MACHINERY 
  AND 
  OUR 
  

   FAVORABLE 
  SOIL 
  AND 
  CLIMATIC 
  CONDI- 
  

   TIONS 
  TO 
  PRODUCE 
  THE 
  BEST 
  STOCK 
  IT 
  IS 
  

   POSSIBLE 
  TO 
  GROW. 
  

  

  Few 
  nurseries 
  can 
  point 
  to 
  such 
  a 
  winning 
  combina- 
  

   tion 
  as 
  we 
  have 
  here 
  at 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge. 
  These 
  com- 
  

   bined 
  factors 
  enables 
  us 
  to 
  produce 
  stock 
  that 
  will 
  

   adapt 
  itself 
  to 
  various 
  soil 
  and 
  climatic 
  conditions 
  

   wherever 
  it 
  is 
  planted, 
  and 
  gives 
  to 
  the 
  planter 
  produc- 
  

   ing 
  fields 
  that 
  are 
  living 
  examples 
  of 
  the 
  superiority 
  of 
  

   Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  trees 
  and 
  plants. 
  All 
  nursery 
  stock 
  

   is 
  of 
  perishable 
  nature 
  and 
  is 
  vitally 
  affected 
  by 
  the 
  

   manner 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  handled, 
  by 
  the 
  producing 
  nur- 
  

   sery, 
  the 
  transporting 
  carrier 
  and 
  the 
  planter, 
  as 
  well 
  

   as 
  soil, 
  moisture 
  and 
  general 
  climatic 
  conditions. 
  Grow- 
  

   ing 
  and 
  producing 
  fields 
  in 
  every 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  

   States 
  attest 
  the 
  fact: 
  

  

  PROPERLY 
  GROWN 
  BOUNTIFUL 
  RIDGE 
  

   STOCK 
  PLUS 
  YOUR 
  COOPERATION, 
  BRINGS 
  

   YOU 
  MAXIMUM 
  RESULTS 
  FROM 
  YOUR 
  PLANT- 
  

   INGS 
  YEAR 
  AFTER 
  YEAR. 
  

  

  "WHEN 
  BETTER 
  TREES 
  AND 
  PLANTS 
  ARE 
  

   GROWN, 
  BOUNTIFUL

  WILL 
  GROW 
  

   THEM." 
  

  

  Spraying 
  Nursery 
  Stock 
  

  

  Although 
  our 
  nursery 
  is 
  many 
  miles 
  from 
  any 
  com- 
  

   mercial 
  orchard, 
  yet 
  we 
  practice 
  complete 
  spraying 
  

   of 
  all 
  stock, 
  from 
  the 
  tender 
  shoot 
  to 
  the 
  matured 
  tree 
  

   or 
  plant. 
  The 
  orchardist, 
  more 
  than 
  ever 
  before 
  in 
  

   history, 
  is 
  confronted 
  with 
  new 
  hazards 
  from 
  disease 
  

   and 
  insects 
  which 
  were 
  unknown 
  a 
  few 
  years 
  ago, 
  

   and 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  do 
  our 
  part 
  to 
  bring 
  him 
  clean, 
  healthy 
  

   disease 
  free 
  stock, 
  we 
  employ 
  timely 
  spray 
  and 
  dusting 
  

  

  programs 
  to 
  cover 
  the 
  various 
  seasonal 
  conditions 
  and 
  

   use 
  special 
  formulas 
  designed 
  for 
  nursery 
  stock. 
  Again 
  

   during 
  the 
  past 
  several 
  years, 
  we 
  have 
  purchased 
  the 
  

   most 
  practical 
  up-to-date 
  spraying 
  and 
  dusting 
  equip- 
  

   ment 
  known 
  to 
  science. 
  All 
  this 
  is 
  done 
  because 
  we 
  

   feel 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  an 
  obligation 
  we 
  owe 
  to 
  our 
  customers 
  

   to 
  deliver 
  them 
  nursery 
  stock 
  which 
  is 
  healthy. 
  This 
  

   is 
  another 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  service 
  we 
  are 
  proud 
  to 
  

   render.
