2 HOLDRIDGE’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1942 
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 only a few varieties of strawberries but these 
are the varieties which we have found will do the best under 
average conditions here in Connecticut. These varieties will 
give better yields, better berries and better satisfaction to you 
when the fruiting season arrives than other varieties which may 
be better suited to warmer climates. 
We were interested to find that in the report of the Straw- 
berry Trails at Mount Carmel Experiment Station, they find 
only nine varieties which they feel they can recommend for 
Connecticut. Of these nine varieties, we have seven for sale 
now; one we planted last year for the first time, and the other, 
Chesapeake, we have tried but discarded in favor of the Hebron. 
The varieties of raspberry plants, grapevines and fruit 
trees are also approved varieties. 
PRICES 
Our prices are as low as it is possible for us to quote for 
good plants, vines and trees. Costs are higher but our prices 
are averaging almost the same as other years. You will note 
that our prices are quoted delivered to your post office or 
express office (except as noted) anywhere in New England. 
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- 
Bese and will reach their destination nearly as fresh as when 
ug. 
Any plants which arrive in poor condition will be replaced 
if CUE notified immediately. What honest grower could do 
more?
