Onr Own Modern Cold Storage 



Pr,ANTS ARE THOROUGHLY COOLED BEFORE PACK- 

 ING. PEAXTS AND PACKAGE ARE COOEED 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 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 digging 

 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 plant- 

 ers. 



IT IS THE PURPOSE OF BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NUR- 

 SERIES TO GROW AND DELIVER TO YOU THE BEST 

 PLANTS YOUR MONEY CAN BUY.

 STORAGE AND HANDLING METHODS — OUR NEWLY

One of our fields of New Plants during growing season of 

 1951. Picture taken about August 1 witli 3 months to grow. 

 These plants will be among the best available to the planters 

 for spring 1952. Nearly one million plants in this field. 

 They must be right when you get them from Bountiful 

 Ridge Nurseries. 



Healthy foliage, clean roots ; fresh dug are living examples 

 of fine planting stock. When properly planted and cared 

 for they will give results. 



Mr. Edward Smith, one of our regular packers, 

 proudly displays a bunch of Bountiful Ridge 

 grown heavy rooted plants. Note plants in crates 

 and style of crate. We never pack our plants more 

 than 3 bunches deep in a crate regardless of the 

 size of your order. Only new spagnum moss is 

 used in the packing of Bountiful Ridge plants.
