Here is a field of strawberries on the farm of Henry Enders of 
South Glastonbury. The plants’ are Howards and were pur- 
chased from us in April 1952. With good plants, good ground 
and good care, you too can have a bed as fine as Mr. Enders. 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
We believe that we are selling as fine a strawberry plant as can be 
purchased from any grower. We have had the experience which only comes 
from raising a crop over a period of thirty years. 
We have a type of ground here, a sandy loam, which produces plants 
with long fibrous roots. 
We are doing our best to keep up with all the new developments in 
the strawberry field, with new varieties, with disease controls, and with 
proper fertilization methods. 
We plow under two green crops before planting each field of plants 
and we have a special machine which puts a band of fertilizer on both sides 
of a row of growing plants at the same time we cultivate. 
We are digging plants by machine so that we can do our digging at a 
fast rate during the spring, and ship your order as nearly the proper time 
as possible. All our plants are freshly dug for your orders. You will get 
no cold storage plants from Holdridge. 
We believe that we are the largest grower of strawberry plants in 
Connecticut, perhaps in New England. Every year we fill more orders as 
more and more of our business comes from home gardeners. 
Strawberry plants are our specialty. We take pride in the plants which 
we can furnish you. 
GARDEN SUPPLIES 
We are now carrying at our garden store a fairly complete line of small 
garden tools and machines. We are agents for the Planet Jr. tractors, Reo, 
Excello, Johnston and other power lawn mowers. Wheelbarrows and garden 
hose are a specialty with us. We can save you money on many of these items. 
Look our stock over before you buy. Ask about our time payment plan.
