 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: August 30, 1937 



This is to state that we have examined for trueness to name all the saleable apple, pear, cherry, and 

 plum stock of Bountiful Ridge Nurseries, near Princess Anne, Maryland, and as they now stand in the 

 Nursery Row all varieties are, to the best of our knowledge and belief, true to name.

Ideal soil and climatic conditions - Nearly 50 years fruit tree production experience - Modern nursery 

 equipment - Personal supervision and a genuine desire to deliver to you the best it is possible to grow arc 

 some of the reasons you should plant nothing but Bountiful Ridge Nursery Grown Stock. 



THE BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES' IMPROVED MODERN DIGGING EQUIPMENT. 



We quickly grasped the ad- 

 vantages of this modern dig- 

 ging outfit and purchased the 

 equipment in 1933. The dread- 

 naught digger attached to a 

 high clearance Caterpillar trac- 

 tor is your answer to better 

 rooted stock. Note the wide 

 cutting blade which runs about 

 18 in. in the ground making a 

 complete cut of the root system 

 of trees and other nursery 

 stock. You get the full root 

 system in this way with no 

 damaged stock. Bountiful Ridge 

 leads the way in modern Nur- 

 sery equipment for the produc- 

 tion of fruit trees and plants.
