THE LATE S. E. HOLDRIDGE PAUL HOLDRIDGE 
Founder Manager 
1938 GREETING 
Holdridge’s Catalogue of 
Strawberry and Raspberry Plants 
To Our Customers and Friends: 
We wish to thank you all for the many orders which you 
gave to us last year. We filled more orders last year than we 
have ever done before and we believe that they were all filled 
satisfactorily. 
We feel that the increased number of orders which we re¬ 
ceived was a real tribute to our plants because we do very 
little advertising besides this catalogue. 
We pledge to you that if we receive your order for straw¬ 
berry or raspberry plants that we will send you plants freshly 
dug for your order, carefully trimmed and bunched, packed in 
live moss and sent to you as quickly as possible. 
As we are a small concern, we can promise you that every 
step in the digging, trimming, bunching and packing will be 
done by or under the supervision of one of the members of the 
Holdridge family. 
We grow our plants on our own farm and know that they 
are well grown and true-to-name. We have a large number of 
plants to sell this year and will give extra plants in every 
bunch. No small plants will be included. 
We will make every effort possible to deliver plants to you 
that will grow well and yield profitable returns to you. 
We hope to have the pleasure of doing business with you 
and assure you that you will be satisfied. With best wishes for 
a prosperous 1938 and a fine crop of berries in 1939.
