HOLDRIDGE’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1937 
LATE VARIETIES 
IMPROVED PEARL (Perfect)—We have experimented for 
years to find a late berry which will stand up to our require¬ 
ments. Our Improved Pearl is the nearest to that which we 
require of our Standard late berry. In the 'first place, it is real 
late, not producing any berries until two weeks after the Howard 
starts. It produces a very large berry and produces them in 
quantity. It generally has a green tip when picked which usually 
ripens overnight, so when the berries are marketed, the appear¬ 
ance is that of a large firm berry when buyers are wary of soft 
berries. We feel that commercial growers should plant a por¬ 
tion to this variety as we feel certain they will add at least one 
week to their picking season. 
Prices of Pearl (Perfect): 25 for 50c; 50 for 75c; 100 for 
$1.25; 250 for $3.00; 500 for $4.00; 1,000 for $7.00. 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
As we have found that most everbearing strawberries have 
been a disappointment to growers because of the few berries 
that they yield, we have discontinued our present varieties of 
everbearers this year. We are trying new varieties out now 
and hope to have next year some which we can honestly recom¬ 
mend to our customers.

S. E. Holdridge & Sons—Please send 500 Howard 17 and 500 
Dorset plants as soon as possible. 
These plants will replace a lot of plants that we got from 
-, Maryland, the most of which have died. The plants 
you sent us were O. K. and you can bet we will give- 
a darned good “ad.” 
Please Rush.
