S. E. HOLDRIDGE & SONS, NORWICH, CONN. 5 
EARLY VARIETIES 
DORSETT (Perfect)—The Dorsett berry is the finest quali¬ 
ty strawberry that we grow, with the exception of Fairfax. 
The berries are large and bright red and make a finer appear¬ 
ance in the box, than any other berry. The hulls are a bright 
green which add to its attractiveness. 
With us it ripens nearly as early as the Howard No. 17 and 
will produce almost as many berries. It will produce a great 
many plants which stand up well above the ground. 
For the home garden, there is no variety that will beat it 
for quality and yield. For commercial growers who demand a 
quality berry, it will pay well. 
We have a bed of very healthy plants for sale this spring. 
They are as good as any I ever saw. Don’t fail to order some 
of these for this spring.

3,000 to 5,000 at $5.00 per thousand. Not postpaid. 
NORTHSTAR (Perfect)—This is a variety we are offering 
for sale for the first time. It is an introduction of the U. S. 
Dept, of Agriculture. Although this variety is very highly 
advertised by some southern plant growers, it has not produced 
very large crops when tried here in Connecticut. However, it is 
one of the sweetest berries grown and the berries are especially 
delicious when eaten shortly after being gathered from the 
garden. We recommend it for home gardens. 
Prices: 50 for 75c; 100 for $1.25; 500 for $5.00. 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
FAIRFAX (Perfect)—We believe that this the sweetest 
berry grown at the present time. The berries are very large 
and dark red in color with a delicious flavor. 
It is about a week later than the Howard No. 17 in season 
and has a somewhat shorter fruiting season than the Howard 
No. 17 or Dorsett. However, this is the variety for those who 
want a large sweet berry, above everything else. 
It makes fine rows of plants which yield a good crop of 
berries. With us, it has not yielded equal to Howard No. 17 or 
Dorsett, but we have reports of fields with plenty of water 
where the Fairfax has made outstanding yields. A row of these 
in your garden will be the best way for you to judge how they 
will do for you. You will have a treat when you eat one of 
these berries.
