Satisfj'ing service and dependable merchandise are essential to the success of every business. Every 

 purchaser is entitled to expect this and vi'e are making every effort possible to improve our service and grow super- 

 ior and dependable nursery stock for our patrons. For the past 9 years we have been supplying one of the larg- 

 er mail order houses with nursery stock. Their volume has increased consistently each year and the conditions 

 which they impose on their sources of supply have become so exacting that we felt they were interfering with 

 the service we owed our customers, therefore, after due consideration we have severed our relations with tliem, 

 This Avas done in the interest of better service to the many thousands of our customers who send their orders to 

 us each year. You can realize the sacrifice we are making when you consider that last year we shipped more than 

 15,000 individual orders for this mail order house, most of which came from 4 states and we are confident you 

 Avill approve our action for it will mean more personal attention to your orders, better stock and better service. 



"We are constantly trying to improve our stock and our service to our customers for we know this is essential 

 to their satisfaction. Our propagating methods are the results of a lifetime experience in producing nursery 

 stock, supplemented by the results of all known practical research and scientific work, to produce hardy, thrifty, 

 healthy, disease resistant trees and plants. We do not hesitate in purchasing new equipment for the growing and 

 digging of our stock if we can do the job better by having this new equipment. We bought the modern power 

 digging equipment, you see illustrated in this catalog, in 1933 while other Nurseries are just now beginning to real- 

 ize the advantages of this type digger. We have also purchased a new Sprayer designed for our special use to spray 

 fruit trees of all sizes as they stand in the Nursery Rows as well as other types of stock. We know of no other 

 Nursery in the East that will have this efficient equipment. These are examples of the progressiveness of our 

 Nursery. We want you to have the best stock available, and sincerely believe we produce it here at Princess Anne, 

 where soil and climatic conditions are ideal for growing Nursery Stock. 



We are traveling thousands of miles each year in our search for new fruits and better types of the older var- 

 ieties to propagate and pass on to our patrons. We have established a test block and scion orchard here at Boun- 

 tiful Ridge of the varieties we list and many others so as to have comprehensive information about them and 

 bud wood that we know will be true-to-name. Our travels bring us in contact with the many problems of the 

 growers relating to varieties, orchard location, soil, cultivation, diseases of trees, etc. Our suggestions and re- 

 commendations are often helpful and we hope you will feel at ease to present your problems to us. 



You should visit our exhibit at the various Horticultural Meetings, see the type of stock we grow, have a per- 

 sonal talk with a direct representative of our Nursery ; let us show you motion pictures in actual colors on the 

 trees just as though you were right on the scene looking at them. Let us show you scenes of our Nursery 

 Stock as it grows in the rows, how it is propagated, how it is dug, graded, bundled and packed for shipment to 

 you. Few people realize the intricacies involved in the operation of the up-to-date nursery so we purchased this 

 equipment that you might know more about us and that we might give you more authentic information about 

 our newer varieties of fruits, as well as the older varieties which have been in production for years. We want 

 you to know what we are doing at Bountiful Ridge in an effort to grow and deliver stock that will please you 

 and make you feel that the Bountiful Ridge Nurseries is a dependable place for you and your friends to secure 

 your planting needs in Nursery Stock. 



We want all of our old customers to know that the Kemp Boys at Bountiful Ridge deeply appreciated their 

 orders last year and we hope it will again be our privilege to have their orders and their friends' orders this 

 year. Our best customers are those who have planted Bountiful Ridge Grown Stock and their friends Avho they 

 have referred to us. Note some of the fine letters we have received from our customers as they are listed in this 

 catalog. We are alert to your planting needs in the type of stock and varieties, essential for your success where- 

 ever you are located and are making every effort possible to grow stock which represents 100% value and stock 

 which will give results Avherever it is planted, if it is cared for properly. We are strengthening the weak links in 

 our chain of service to you each year. You will find our recommendations and descriptions authentic and de- 

 pendable. We want you to think at all times of the Bountiful Ridge Nurseries as the most dependable source to 

 secure your planting needs in Nursery stock. We pledge ourselves to give improved service and the same depend- 

 able stock in the future.
