2 HOLDRIDGE’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1941 
REAL FRIENDS 
Over a long period of years we have been active in the 
Grange and in the Farm Bureau. We are proud of the fact 
that leaders and members of these great organizations have 
been willing to recommend us to their friends. We will do our 
best to continue to keep and to deserve this friendship. 
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. 
SHIPPING SEASON 
We start to ship plants just as early as the frost is out 
of the ground, or from the Ist to the 10th of April. We ship 
plants continuously until June 1. Although we sometimes fill 
orders after June 1, we will not guarantee any plants shipped 
after that date. We recommend setting plants in April if 
possible. 
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.
