THE LATE S. E. HOLDRIDGEH PAUL HOLDRIDGE 
Founder Manager 
Dear Gardener--- 
In this catalogue you will find a listing of many of the nursery items 
Which we sell. 
We now carry a fairly complete line of nursery stock and we are trying 
our best to furnish you with high quality, dependable stock at reasonable 
prices. 
We are one of the largest growers of strawberry plants in New England 
with hundred of thousands of plants ready for this spring. 
We also have thousands of evergreens growing on the farm and nu- 
merous other items of nursery stock growing here. Other items are grown 
for us but we are very particular to see that a high standard of quality is 
maintained for all our stock. 
Those of you who have been trading with us regularly over the past 
few years have seen our business growing. We will try to continue to give 
you good stock, good service and good prices so that we may deserve your 
continued patronage. 
We are trying to have practically all kinds of our nursery stock ready 
for immediate sale. This makes it possible for you to call on ug and get 
your fruit trees, evergreens and all other types of stock immediately. 
Shipping of nursery stock is becoming more expensive and seems to be 
getting slower, especially on express shipments. Because of this many of 
cur customers are driving here to our nursery and picking up their stock. 
We can furnish most items without any advance notice but orders for straw- 
berry plants should be sent here in advance. 
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 ship- 
ping season. We will also be open for business on Sundays during March, 
April and May. 
We hope for an early order from you. 
Sincerely, 
Telephone Ledyard 4-7020 PAUL HOLDRIDGE.
