FUTURE OUTLOOK IN THE PEACH WORLD 



PEACH ORCHARDS DURING 1937 PROVED TO BE A GREAT SOURCE OF INCOME FOR THE GROWERS. 



Despite the heaviest crop generally in many years, prices remained strong and active throughout the 

 entire season. 



Millions of peach trees have been lost in the past five years due to disease and low winter temperatures, 

 other millions have been left in a weakened unproductive condition. 



The wise orchardist will remove all weak trees and inferior varieties this year and bring his orchards 

 up-to-date with newer and better trees or recognized quality and commercial merit, thereby continuing his 

 income through the coming years. 



Fine examples of our meaning are the Golden Jubilee, Gage Elberta, Shippers Late Red, Colora and Hale 

 Haven. These varieties brought premium prices at all times and returned the growers handsome profits over 

 other oldtime peaches. 



We were among the first in predicting the outstanding success of these peaches and have grown and sold 

 more of them collectively than any other Nursery. 



It is our belief that the Peach will continue to be the "Queen" of all fruits in the years to come if we 

 consistently improve quality, color and marketing. 



The Nation is still short many millions of peach trees under the census of 1910 and the grower need 

 have no fear for a peach market glut for some years to come. 



"Bountiful Ridge Nurseries" is constantly searching for new fruits of superior quality which will produce 

 consistent crops and greater profits to our patrons. 



We are cooperating closely with the various State Departments and the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture who are creating and testing many new varieties and we assure the planting public when new varieties 

 show sufficient and definite merits, we will propagate and distribute them for general planting when available. 

 We travel thousands of miles each year in tracing down seedling varieties and observing new and recently 

 introduced varieties so we can pass on to our customers definite information about them. We are alert to 

 the needs of the fruit Industry and shall endeavor to be a dependable source for the best varieties available. 



We ask you to watch our listings carefully each year and be assured that we have faith in the ultimate 

 success of every fruit variety we introduce.
