4l»o damp, and are influenced bj soil 

 'temperature during the late spring 

 months to such aQ,^xtent as to greatly 

 Jessen their usefulness as retardmg 

 nouses. The above-ground structure 

 with walls packed with sawdust is not 

 satisfactory, because the humid condi- 

 tions which must be maintained within 

 . the structure, in order to successfully 

 preserve the nursery stock, greatly les- 

 sens the life of the structure. At the 

 same time, a moist wall packing is a 

 less efficient insulator than a dry one. 

 jAir spaces are, therefore, most satis- 

 Ifactory, particularly if the spaces are 

 made horizontally, rather than perpen- 

 dicularly, so as to prevent rapid circu- 

 lation of air. It is necessary that these 

 buildings be frost-proof, as well as 

 capable of holding or retaining cold 

 temperatures for a long period. 



, Built on the Unit or Boom Plan. 



Large structures, designed for this 

 purpose, are built on a unit scheme. 

 There are different storage rooms pro- 

 vided, each room being stored with ma- 

 terial for a given geographical area. 

 Those containing stock to be planted 

 first are emptied quickest, and those 

 which contain stock to go to most north- 

 ern localities are not opened after the 

 temperature has been once reduced, 

 'more than is absolutely necessary, until 

 time for packing out arrives. 



Besides being built on the unit or 

 room plan, these buildings are provided 

 with ventilating apparatus which can 

 be controlled to regulate the circulation 

 of air in the rooms as much as possible. 

 While circulation of air is desirable, 

 great caution is necessary in ventilating 

 ^ the rooms to so manipulate it as to- al- 

 ^w the entrance of air only at times 

 when the temperature of the room will 

 not be raised above the desired point, 

 or lowered beyond the safe limit 

 for. the stock in storage. Dete- 

 rioration in stored stock is largely 

 due to changes in ■tumidity within 

 the storage house, brought about 

 by fluctuations in temperature. Unifor- 

 mity of temperature is of greater im- 

 portance than low temperature. Besides 

 the value of the retarding house as a 

 means of facilitating the work of the 

 nursery during the digging and packing 

 season, the retarding house is a great 

 safeguard to the nurseryman. Little 

 stock is injured from storage in build- 

 ings with a uniform temperature, as 

 compared with the loss of stock which 

 is dug and heeled in. Much stock was 

 lost under the old system from severe 

 winter conditions, but because the tem- 

 perature is never allowed to reach the 

 danger point in the retarding houses 

 this is not possible. Storage houses are, 

 therefore, a great safeguard to the busi- 

 ness.
