GREETINGS: 
This is just a word to thank you for your business. We have tried to meet 
you all with a friendly greeting and to honestly help you as you shopped here 
for nursery stock and for your garden supplies. 
And I think most of you must like our way of doing business for each year 
our business grows and more and more people make our store their garden head- 
quarters. 
Hope to see you here often in 1955. 
PAUL HOLDRIDGE 
OUR HELP 
We are still largely a family concern with all of the family helping out on 
busy days. We have some of our regular men who have been with us for years, 
and on busy weekends in the spring we have some folks who are good gardeners 
in their own right who are here to help us and to help you. 
OUR EQUIPMENT 
We have a garden store 26x60—just full of seeds, bulbs, fertilizers and garden 
needs. We have a lath house 60x100 for Balled Evergreens and Shrubs. Trees 
under this semi-shaded area keep better and will live better for you. We have two 
storage cellars 24x50 each for fruit trees. Also we have stockrooms full of baskets 
and other stock. 
OUR STOCK 
We have either growing here on our own farm or ordered for early spring 
delivery, large amounts of all the items listed here in this price list. Available 
will be about 400,000 strawberry plants—6,000 fruit trees—5,000 blueberry bushes 
—8,000 evergreens—1500 azalias and other stock in proportion.
