1939 GREETING 
Holdridge’s Catalogue 
Strawberry and Raspberry 
of 
Plants 
To Our Customers and Friends: 
- We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the busi¬ 
ness which you gave to us this last year^ At the end of the 
shipping season we had only a few short rows of strawberries 
from which to fruit. Our raspberry plant sales greatly increased 
over any previous year. More than twice the number of as¬ 
paragus plants were sold than ever before. 
We hope that we can continue to deserve the confidence 
which you have placed in us. 
If you order your plants from us, we promise you plants 
freshly dug for your order, carefully trimmed and bunched, 
packed in live moss and shipped 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 have large beds of strawberry plants and new beds of 
raspberry and asparagus plants from which to sell plants this 
year. 
Only plants like these, with generations of breeding here in 
Connecticut, can have the vigor to produce tremendous crops 
of berries in this locality. 
We hope we may have the pleasure of doing business with 
you and that you will have the pleasure of fine crops. 
With best wishes for a prosperous year, we are,
