Our Own Modern Cold Storage 
Automatic Temperature Control — Automatic Moisture Control 
No Freezing — No Drying Out With Bountiful Ridge Plants. 
PLANTS ARE THOROUGHLY COOLED BEFORE 
PACKING. PLANTS AND PACKAGE ARE COOLED 
AFTER PACKING AND BEFORE SHIPPING. 
THEY MUST AND DO ARRIVE IN BETTER 
CONDITION. 
We did not build this modern cold storage with 
the idea of storing plants all winter or all summer. 
We did have the records of years of experimenting 
on putting plants in cold storage at point of 
planting by the planters in various sections so 
as to keep the plants in good condition until soil 
conditions were favorable for planting them. EVEN 
THO THESE PLANTS WERE HELD UNDER UN- 
FAVORABLE STORAGE CONDITIONS THIS 
METHOD HAS PROVEN MOST SUCCESSFUL 
WHEN THE PLANTS WERE IN GOOD CONDI- 
TION WHEN PLACED IN COLD STORAGE. 
WITH AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED CIRCULAT- 
ING MOISTURE AND TEMPERATURES, PLANTS 
ACTUALLY BECOME INVIGORATED WHEN 
PLACED IN THIS STORAGE AND ARE HANDLED 
AS WE HANDLIE THEM. 
We start digging our plants in early Spring and 
continue digging, as Weather conditions permit, 
until our plants are dug. Unseasonable hot or dry 
weather during the digging and shipping season 
can and dees cause delays and plants not up to a 
high standard in quality and vitality and which 
naturally does not tend towards good success for 
the planters. 
IT IS THE PURPOSE OF BOUNTIFUL RIDGE 
NURSERIES TO GROW AND DELIVER TO YOU 
THI BEST PLANTS YOUR MONEY CAN BUY.

THE HUMIDITY CONTROL UNIT 
This is a very important accessory in any 
cold storage where live plants are being stored. 
This unit automatically maintains proper mois- 
ture in the air so that plants that do not even

crate in foreground. OUR COLD STORAGE
