One year Sweet Cherry on Mazzard root grown at Bountiful Ridge. Photo taken July 25th with trees ranging from 4 to 6 ft. in height and still growing strong. Properly sprayed, with healthy foliage and strong roots these trees will give the desired results wherever 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 PRO
