UR digging operations here start late in November. Immediately after 
the plants are lifted from the ground, they are brought into our large 
lath-house storage bins. The bundles are healed-in upright in shavings 
which for some time prior to digging have been well watered down to receive 
and retain a maximum of moisture. Plants are completely protected from 
wind but receive the benefit of filtered sunlight through lath roof. Regular 
watering schedule is followed while plants are in these buildings. Greatest 
care is exercised during growing period to insure maximum harvest. How- 
ever, due to the ever-present possibility of contingencies beyond our control, 
we must necessarily book orders subject to crop yield. Where crop shortages 
in any variety do result, orders are pro-rated as fairly as possible.
