LOCATION 
Visitors are always welcome at our farm. Many of our 
customers call each year at our farm for their plants and trees. 
We are located on the Colonel Ledyard Highway in the town 
of Ledyard, about 5 miles from the city of Norwich. To arrive 
at our farm from Norwich, take Route 2 out of Norwich, 
which is the road to Westerly. About 3 miles out of Norwich, 
turn on the first road to the right. After passing through 
the village of Hallville, you continue to a little white church 
on the left. Turn sharp left and drive about 1% miles on the 
state road. Look for the Holdridge Farm sign. 
FREE OF RED STELE 
We are happy to report to you that there is absolutely no 
Red Stele disease on the strawberry plants on our farm. 
We have had our beds carefully examined this last summer 
by a number of strawberry specialists who did not find any 
traces of this new and serious strawberry disease. 
Red Stele has been brought into Connecticut in serious 
proportion during the last two years from plant farms in Dela- 
ware and Maryland. Once introduced it spreads rapidly and 
many patches have been completely destroyed. Once introduced, 
it stays in the soil for 2 to 8 years. 
We understand that we are one of a very few plant farms 
who can claim to be totally free from Red Stele. Why take 
chances on other plants when you can be sure of these? 
C. O. D. SHIPMENTS 
We are glad to ship your order C. O. D. However, on these 
Snip ene the C. O. D. charge will be added to the price of the 
plants. 
SHIPPING 
We have made an effort in the past few years not to ship 
any plants so that they will have to be held over the week-end 
in some Post Office. You can help us by asking that your plants 
be shipped “the week of...........ccce0e ” Then we will start 
digging Monday and ship each day’s plants the next day. We 
will try not to ship any plants after Friday. May we have your 
cooperation to help us deliver plants to you just as freshly dug 
as possible? 
TERMS 
Orders may be booked at any time. If you are not ready 
to send full remittance now, send part payment and the balance 
before shipping. Remit in any way most convenient to you. 
Under no circumstances will we ship plants until they have 
been paid for.
