BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES 



RECEIVING STOCK IN COLD WEATHER 



In the event that it should turn cold after your stock 

 has been shipped to you and there is a possibility that 

 there is frost in the box in which the stock is shipped, 

 put the box in a place where the temperature is above 

 freezing — a cellar or a frost-proof building, and do not 

 disturb for 5 to 7 days, at which time stock can be re- 

 moved from the box in first-class condition. Under no 

 circumstances should you open a box when you think 

 there is frost in it, it will kill it. But if allowed to 

 thaw out in the box, the stock will not be injured. 



OUR REFERENCES 



As to our responsibility, we refer you to the 

 Salisbury National Bank, Salisbury, Md., Farm- 

 ers & Merchants Bank, Salisbury, Md., Dun & 

 Bradstreet and to any of our thousands of cus- 

 tomers throughout the country that you might 

 know or whose name you find in this catalog,

 ern U. S.
