ROSS’ SEEDS 
To our many customers and friends we send best wishes for the year 1934. 
The twelve months that have passed since our 1933 Annual Catalogue was sent 
to you have been perhaps the most trying of all times to our people as a whole. 
It would have been extremely difficult for any of us either as an individual or as a 
business concern to forecast the events that have occurred during that period. To many 
of us these times have been a severe test to our American courage but we have withstood 
the test. Prices of farm products have as a whole been better during 1933 than the 
two years previous and we look forward now to even better prices for Agricultural 
products during 1934. 
We are now going to accept Old Man Depression as a thing of the past. 
Vegetable and Flower Seeds 
For more than ninety years our company has been engaged in the business of 
supplying the farmer, gardener and home owner with seeds and most of the other items 
of which they are constantly in need. At each season we have offered varieties of both 
vegetable and flower seeds which we have found after careful trial to be the best. 
Some varieties are offered because of early production without serious regard for 
quality; others because they are especially adapted to the home garden and still 
others because of their extreme quality without thought for the season of production. 
We also offer this year some new varieties which we do not hesitate to recommend and 
we suggest these be given a trial in 1934. 
Grass Seeds 
Perhaps we need not comment on the grass seeds which we sell, however, we are 
especially anxious for everyone to know that those offered by us are as high a grade, 
both in purity and germination, as it is possible to obtain with the most modern seed 
cleaning machinery. It makes no difference whether seed is to be used on the back 
lawn or on the putting green, there is no grass seed of better quality than that which 
we offer. 
Prices 
As our catalogue goes to press early in the season we find it diffcult to maintain 
quoted prices throughout the entire year, and although we do not anticipate rising 
prices, all prices quoted are subject to change without notice.
