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 this modern cold storage with the idea 
of storing plants all winter or all summer. We had 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 
BECOME INVIGORATED WHEN PLACED IN THIS STOR- 
AGE AND ARE HANDLED AS WE HANDLE THEM.
