Our Own Modern Cold Storage 
Automatic Temperature Control—Automatic Moisture Control 
No Freezing—No Drying Out With Bountiful Ridge Plants 
PLANTS ARE THOROUGHLY 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 sum- 
mer. We did have the records of years of experi- 
menting on putting plants in cold storage at point 
of planting by the planters in various sections 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 CONDI- 
TIONS THIS METHOD HAS PROVEN MOST 
SUCCESSFUL WHEN THE PLANTS WERE IN 
GOOD CONDITION WHEN PLACED IN COLD 
STORAGE. 
WITH AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED CIRCU- 
LATING MOISTURE AND TEMPERATURES, 
PLANTS ACTUALLY BECOME INVIGORATED 
WHEN PLACED IN THIS STORAGE 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 toa 
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 
THE BEST PLANTS YOUR MONEY CAN BUY. 
OUR NEW DIGGING EQUIPMENT — OUR 
NEW COLD STORAGE AND HANDLING ME- 
THODS—OUR NEWLY DESIGNED SHIPPING

Entrance to our cold storage. Note crates packed and labeled 
ready to move on to our customers after being pre-cooled. Note 
the type of crate used. The strips placed on each end ef crate 
to give ventilation when ricked in express cars or trucks or 
storages. OUR COLD STORAGE IS BUILT IN A SECTION 
OF OUR LARGE COMMON STORAGES. 
ALL STRAWBERRY PLANTS ARE BROUGHT DIRECT- 
LY FROM OUR GRADING AND COUNTING SHEDS AND 
PLACED IN THIS COLD STORAGE UNTIL PACKED 
AND SENT ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS. 
THE HUMIDITY CONTROL UNIT 
This is a very important accessory in any cold 
storage where live plants are being stored. This 
unit automatically maintains proper meisture in the 
air so that plants that do not even have meist pack- 
ing about the roots may be kept fer weeks in per- 
fect condition. Note circulating fans just back of 
humidity control unit and then nete the bluffness of 
the plants in crate in foreground. OUR COLD 
STORAGE TEMPERATURES ARE MAINTAINED 
AT 33 to 34 DEGREES F.
