STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
For nearly forty years, strawberries and strawberry plants have been 
the major crop on the Holdridge Farm. During that period of time a great 
many varieties of strawberries have been grown here but we have continued 
to grow only those kinds which have done best for us. Certain good varieties 
have been discarded because we felt that other kinds were generally more 
satisfactory here. 
As we raise our fields of strawberries primarily for plants, we are con- 
tinually working to improve the quality of the plants which we do sell. Hach 
spring we choose our planting stock with extreme care. Many other things 
are done for these strawberry plants so that our strains may be continually 
improved. You will get the benefit of this breeding work if you purchase 
your replacement stock from us. 
STRAWBERRIES FOR FREEZING 
We receive many requests as to the best varieties of strawberries for 
freezing. We recommend Midland, Catskill, Fairfax, Temple and Sparkle. 
However, in our own home freezer, we have tried nearly every variety and 
have found that all good berries can be successfully frozen. In fact, we have 
used more Howard No. 17 than any other variety.
