HOLDRIDGE’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1940 
OUR CATALOGUE 
This is not a large pretentious catalogue, yet it brings you 
an honest message about the different varieties of plants which 
we grow. The statements we make and the advice we give in 
this catalogue are no different than that which we would give 
to you if we should meet you personally. 
VARIETIES 
We grow and sell only a few varieties of strawberry and 
raspberry plants. However, those that we do grow are the 
varieties which we believe will grow the best and bear the best 
crops here in Connecticut. There are many other varieties that 
are good but we have discarded them because the varieties we 
now carry have proved themselves better. 
Any variety which you buy from us will give satisfaction 
and good yields under all ordinary conditions. This is as true 
with our raspberry plants as it is with the strawberries. 
We have four new varieties of strawberry plants for sale 
this spring. They are all the products of various Experiment 
Stations. The Northstar was introduced at the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture. The Pathfinder originated in New Jersey and 
the Hebron and Shelton originated here in Connecticut at our 
New Haven Experiment Station. 
FREE DELIVERY 
This means a good deal to the purchaser. The prices in this 
catalogue include free delivery to your door or express office 
anywhere, unless otherwise noted. The option will be ours how 
we shall ship. 
When comparing our prices with those of other concerns, 
please consider that our plants are quoted postpaid, while most 
concerns quote prices F. O. B. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
Plants sent out from this farm will be true-to-name, free 
from any disease, properly trimmed, bunched, packed and la¬ 
beled, and will reach their destination nearly as fresh as when 
dug. 
Any plants which arrive in poor condition will be replaced 
if we are notified immediately. What honest grower could do 
more? 
PRICES 
Our prices are as low as it is possible for us to quote, for 
good plants, and yet no higher than at any time during the 
depression. Costs are higher, but we can still keep our same 
prices. You will note that our prices are quoted delivered to 
your post office or express office (except as noted) anywhere 
in New England.
