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 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. 
OUR NEW DIGGING EQUIPMENT — OUR NEW COLD 
STORAGE AND HANDLING METHODS — OUR NEWLY

Healthy foliage, clean roots; fresh dug plants are living 
examples of fine planting stock. When properly planted and 
cared for they will give results.

LY FROM OUR GRADING AND COUNTING SHEDS AND

PREMIER PLANTS. Vigorous, Strong rooted plants such 
as these are one reason why BOUNTIFUL RIDGE STRAIN 
OF PREMIER ARE MAKING AN ENVIOUS RECORD 
WHEREVER PLANTED. 
The above is the picture of a picking field of strawberries 
in Hudson Valley, New York. He started right by planting 
Bountiful Ridge plants and by taking good care of them 
you can see that he has the basis of very heavy production 
per acre on this field. Please note the straw mulch which 
has been applied on this field. First as a protection to 
winter injury to the crowns and second to give good clean 
fruit that will bring the top price on the markets. 
HAVE THE RIGHT VARIETIES, GIVE THEM PROPER 
CARE. STRAWBERRIES IN GENERAL WILL DO THEIR 
PART FOR YOU.
