GREETINGS for 1922 
TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS;— 
v» = !!^^if'**^"''.D^^,''*^ greetings and wish you a prosperous New 
Year It is with pleasure we present to you our new catalog of 
true-to-name Trees and Plants. Now is the opportune time for 
It to reach you, and we hope It will be a welcome visitor to all 
We believe fruit growers have during the past few years 
received prices for their fruit which were greatly in advance of 
prices received for other commodities produced on the farm 
and the prospects are bright for the future fruit growing 
mdustnes in generaf, considering the fact that we are larael? 
increasing in population in this country every year and the 
fact that there has been a very heavy decrease in the number 
of acres of fruit trees and plants now of bearing age. Same is 
also true of young fields of small fruits and yoiing orchards to 
come into bearing, according to the report of the Department 
of Commerce, Bureau of Census, which on June 27, 1921 quoted 
for instance; "Peaches had decreased in number of trees of 
bearing age 30 per cent, since the year of 1910, and the number 
of peach trees in young orchards not yet of bearing age showed 
a decrease of 48.8 per cent, since 1910. Hence nearly one-half 
'""^^^ *° '"'0 bearing than was there In 
1910. They reported other fruit trees and all kinds of fruiting 
plants having made heavy decreases. This being true it clearly 
appears to us that there is sure to be a great demand for fruit 
in the future, owing to the decreased quantity to go on the 
markets, which markets are certainly increasing yearly as the 
population of the country increases. We are offering this spring 
nursery stock at reduced prices, and would appreciate again 
receiving your orders large or small, which we assure you will 
at all times receive our usual careful attention. 
Yours vpry truly, 
BUNTING'S NURSERIES,
