THE LATE S. E. HOLDRIDGE PAUL HOLDRIDGE 
Founder Manager 
Introducing Ourselves: 
This little booklet is sent to you so that you may be able to read 
about our business and to help you in choosing varieties of fruits and 
other nursery stock which will give you the most profit and satisfaction. 
_ We have not spent a lot of money printing fancy pictures in this 
price list and we do not believe in praising stock too highly. Instead, 
we have tried to give you honest descriptions in an orderly manner so 
that you may be able to compare one variety with another and choose 
wisely for yourself. 
Our business is growing every year. We believe that we now raise 
and sell more strawberry plants than any other Connecticut concern. 
For this spring we have between three and four acres of plants to dig. 
We are also one of the larger growers of raspberry and asparagus 
plants. 
In this booklet we are offering a large assortment of good quality 
nursery stock at prices which we believe are as low as you can find 
for this grade of stock. We hope you will compare our prices with 
similar sizes of stock from other dealers. You may drive to our farm 
at any time after March 15th to inspect the quality of our nursery stock. 
Our season for shipping nursery stock is short and we are always 
rushed at that time. To help us serve you better, we are asking your 
cooperation by doing the following: 
1. Send full payment with order if possible. 
2. Allow us to substitute varieties when necessary. 
We invite you to call at our farm at any time during the nursery 
shipping season. We will be open for business on Sundays during 
March, April and May. 
We hope for an early order from you. 
| Sincerely, 
Tel. Norwich 3655-J1 PAUL HOLDRIDGE.
