Our Own Modern Cold Storage 



PLANTS ARE THOROUGHLY COOLED BEFORE PACK- 

 ING. PLANTS AND PACKAGE ARE COOLED AFTER 

 PACKING AND BEFORE SHIPPING. 



THEY MUST AND DO ARRIVE IN BETTER CONDITION. 



We did not build tliis modern cold storage with the idea 

 of storing plants all winter or all summer. We did have tne 

 records of years of experimenting on putting plants in cold 

 storage at point of planting by the planters in various sec- 

 tions so as to keep the plants in good condition until soil 

 conditions were favorable for planting them. EVEN THO 

 THESE PLANTS WERE HELD UNDER UNFAVORABLE 

 STORAGE CONDITIONS THIS METHOD HAS PROVEN 

 MOST SUCCESSFUL WHEN THE PLANTS WERE IN 

 GOOD CONDITION WHEN PLACED IN COLD STORAGE. 



WITH AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED CIRCULATION 

 MOISTURE AND TEMPERATURES, PLANTS ACTUALLY 

 BECAME INVIGORATED WHEN PLACED IN THIS STOR- 

 AGE AND ARE HANDLED AS WE HANDLE 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 diggijig 

 and shipping season can and does 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 NUR- 

 SERIES TO GROW AND DELIVER TO YOU THE BEST
