THE LATE S. E. HOLDRIDGE PAUL HOLDRIDGE 
Founder Manager 
Dear Fellow Gardener: 
Now is the time when most of us are thinking about our garden 
and making our plans for the coming season. In this catalogue you 
will find a wide selection of berry plants, fruit trees and ornamentals. 
Every variety we list here will do well in New England. 
For over 30 years the Holdridge Farm has specialized in straw- 
berry plants. ‘We are well known throughout Connecticut as a depend- 
able source of plants. We are now the largest growers of strawberry 
plants in the state, with over 5 acres of plants for this spring. 
In recent years we have greatly expanded our variety of fruit 
trees and ornamentals. For this spring our supply on hand is the 
greatest in our history. 
It has always been our policy to furnish you plants and trees of 
very high quality at prices which are as low as possible. We appreciate 
the many kind words that our regular customers speak for us and we 
want to thank you for recommending us to other gardeners. 
Our shipping season for 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 also be open for business on Sundays during 
March, April and May. 
We hope for an early order from you. 
Sincerely, 
PAUL HOLDRIDGE.
