MSD-SEASON VARIETIES 
BIG JOE (Perfect) —There is no mid-season berry that we 
can recommend more for a running* mate with Howard 17 than 
Big* Joe. This variety does well on all soils but responds quickly 
to good care and fertility. It comes in with big red berries 
when some of the early varieties are dropping down. The plant 
is a vigorous grower, very healthy and very productive. The 
berries are large in size with an attractive green cap which in¬ 
creases their appearance. Anyone who can get a premium for 
fancy berries should include some of this variety in their order. 
50 for 75c; 100 for $1.00; 250 for $2.25; 500 for $3.50; 1,000 
for $6.00. 
ABERDEEN (Perfect) —We believe this is a coming berry 
for commercial growers. After four years of fruiting we are 
highly pleased with its behaviour. It is a good plant producer, 
with clean, healthy foliage, standing well up from the ground. 
The fruit is large and the vines are literally covered with bright 
red berries. We have tried it on different soils and wherever 
planted it seems to be at home. It is a mid-season to late berry 
and we can recommend this variety as one of the best. 
50 for 75c; 100 for $1.00; 250 for $2.25; 500 for $3.50; 1,000 
for $6.00. 
CORSICAN (Perfect) —After fruiting and testing over fifty 
varieties we have never found any berry as sweet as the Corsi¬ 
can. Those who do not like an acid berry will do well to plant 
some of this variety. We would not recommend it for com¬ 
mercial use, but for a home garden by all means include some 
plants of this variety. It is a mid-seascn variety. The fruit 
is large to very large. The color is bright crimson and it is 
productive. Old customers send for this variety each year, as 
after once fruiting it you will want more. 
50 for 75c; 3 00 for $1.00; 250 for $2.50; 500 for $3.75; 1,000 
for $6.00. 
The reputation of Holdridge’s strawberry plants continues to 
grow. We not only ship plants all over New England; but also 
ship plants throughout the Eastern States and Canada. Many 
people visit our farms each year and we wish you all could 
come and see just what we are doing in growing better strains 
and varieties of strawberry plants. We know that you all cannot 
come so in our catalogue we try to give an honest description. 
We do not advise of setting your own planks too long. Not 
because we would like to sell you plants, but the difference 
which you will notice in the production and size of your berries 
that often come from a change of climate and soil. Well- 
cleaned plants with well-straig'htened roots make planting easier 
and more satisfactory.
