THE LATE S. E. HOLDRIDGE PAUL HOLDRIDGE 
Founder Manager 
To our Friends and Customers: 
This catalogue is sent to you so that you may read a 
little about our strawberry plants and other nursery stock. 
On our farm, the raising of strawberry plants has been 
a specialty for over thirty years. During the past few years 
we have started growing a number of other items and this 
spring we have the largest supply of plants and trees ready 
that we have ever had. 
Last year we sold more strawberry plants and other 
nursery stock than ever before. Over 300,000 strawberry plants 
were sold to our customers. And yet our business is still small 
enough so that personal attention can be given to every order 
and usually by one of the members of the Holdridge family. 
The Holdridge Farm is a combination nursery and poultry 
farm with about 1,500 laying birds being kept all the time. 
The poultry makes the farm a year round business and the 
litter from the poultry furnishes the nursery stock with the 
best type of fertilizer. 
Our whole business is set up to furnish you with high grade 
plants, shrubs and trees at a reasonable cost. We invite you 
to compare the quality and prices of our stock with any other 
source. 
Our season for shipping nursery stock is short and we are 
always very rushed at that time. The following two simple 
things will speed the filling of your orders, so please do this. 
1. Send full payment with order. 
2. Allow us to substitute varieties when necessary. 
Orders are often sent back when other equally good varie- 
ties are still available. 
Hoping that we may be able to serve you well during the 
coming season, I am 
Sincerely, 
PAUL HOLDRIDGE,
