New Digging and Handling Methods Give Buyers of Bountiful Ridge Plants 



1007^ Satisfaction Spring 1946 



OUR OWN IMPROVED DIGGING EQUIPMENT. 



Designed and Built in our Shop on 

 Bountiful Ridge 



Blade runs 6 to 9 inclies deep, assuring full root 

 system under all digging conditions. 



Plants are lifted — loosened in the soil — dropped 

 bacls in their natural position in the soil. They 

 remain there, unexposed and \yith full vitality until 

 further removed by our large crew of diggers. 



NEW SHIPPING CRATE DESIGNED and USED 

 AT BOUNTIFUL RIDGE 



Lessens chances of plants heating during ship- 

 ment or in storage. 1946 season proved this new 

 crate 100% efficient. 



PLANTS NEVER MORE THAN THREE BUNCHES 

 DEEP IN CRATE REGARDLESS OF SIZE OF THE 

 CRATE. 



STRIP % INCH SQUARE ATTACHED ON BOTTOM 

 OF EACH END OF CRATE ASSURES AIR SPACE 

 BETWEEN CRATES WHEN STACKED ONE ON THE 

 OTHER IN SHIPPING OR IN STORAGE. THE BOT- 

 TOM CRATE ALWAYS HAS VENTILATION BE- 

 NEATH IT TO PREVENT PLANTS FROM HEAT- 

 ING. 



Both sides of crate are slatted for veutilation. 



OUR OWN MODERN COLD STORAGE 



Put into operation March 1st, 1946. 

 Automatic Temperature Control. 

 Automatic 3Ioisture Control. 

 No Freezing — No Drying Out. 



PLANTS ARE THOROIGHLY COOLED BEFORE 

 PACKING. PLANTS AND PACKAGE ARE COOLED 

 AFTER PACKING AND BEFORE SHIPPING. 



THEY MUST AND DO ARRIVE IN BETTER CON- 

 DITION. 



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 put- 

 ting plants in cold storage at point of planting by the 

 planters in various sections so as to keep the plants la 

 Liood condition until soil conditions were favorable for 

 planting them. EVEN THO THESE PLANTS WERE 

 HELD UNDER UNFAVORABLE STORAGE CONDIT- 

 IONS THIS METHOD HAS PROVEN MOST SUC- 

 CESSFUL WHEN THE PLANTS WERE IN GOOD 

 CONDITION WHEN PLACED IN COLD STORAGE. 



WITH AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED CIRCULATING 

 MOISTURE AND TEMPERATURES PLANTS ACT- 

 UALLY BECOME INVIGORATED WHEN PLACED 

 IN THIS STORAGE AND ARE HANDLED AS WB 

 HANDLE THEM. 



We start digging our plants early Spring and con- 

 tinue digging as weather conditions permit until our 

 l)lants are dug. Unseasonable hot or dry weather dur- 

 ing the digging and shipping season can and does cause 

 delays and plairts 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

 COLD STORAGE AND HANDLING METHODS— OUR
