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 left and drive about 11% miles on the Colonel 
Ledyard Highway. 
From New London, take Route 84 from the Groton-New 
London bridge for about 5 miles, then turn left on the Colonel 
Ledyard Highway «nd drive about 6 miles. Look for the 
Holdridge Farm sign. 
SHIPPING 
Please give instructions in your order how we should ship. 
If no instructions are given, we will ship as is best in our 
judgment. Remember, trees must go by express. 
We will ship as near as possible to the date which you ask 
for but can not guarantee shipment on exact dates requested 
because of weather conditions and possible shortages of labor. 
We start to ship plants just as early as the frost is out 
of the ground, or from the 1st to the 10th of April. We ship 
plants continuously until June 1. We recommend setting plants 
in April if possible. 
Fruit trees will be shipped about April Ist. 
Absolutely no plants shipped after June 1. We ship in 
the fall only from Oct. 10 until Nov. lst. Fall shipments not 
guaranteed or recommended.

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 weed plants until they have 
been paid for. 
RED STELE DISEASE 
There is one serious strawberry plant disease called Red 
Stele, which is passed directly from the mother plants to a 
whole bed and which often results in a complete crop loss. 
This disease has been brought into Connecticut in great amounts 
from plants in Maryland and Delaware during the past fhe 7 
years. 
We have had our beds carefully examined each summer 
ie traces of this disease and none has ever been found on our 
arm. 
We understand that we are one of a very few plant ‘farm 
who can claim to be totally free from Red Stele. Why take 
chances on other plants when you can be sure of these?
