MARKET GARDEN LIST 
\ 
Orange, Connecticut, 
January 1st, 1934. 
TO OUR MARKET GARDEN CUSTOMERS:— 
We are handing you herewith a modest little catalogue, this be¬ 
ing our 45th annual issue. Some of you have sent us in orders each 
year for nearly this entire length of time and we appreciate your 
business. 
We have cut down on the expense of our catalogue this year and 
are trying in every way to reduce our overhead, and we are reflecting 
these reductions in the prices we are making you for SEEDS. In 
our judgment this is the time when ALL should be most careful as 
to their expense. We have decided that it is wise to make very low 
prices to our trade, believing that such will be a great help at just 
this time. 
Please bear in mind that the prices named in this catalogue are 
for CASH WITH ORDER. When special arrangements are made 
and credit is given, the prices must necessarily be higher than the 
prices appearing in this book. Therefore, you need not be sur¬ 
prised at these low prices. 
Our forecast is that very soon it will be necessary for us to go 
on to a cash basis entirely in the transactions we have with seed 
buyers. This method will be of substantial benefit to our custom¬ 
ers by the savings effected which is absolutely necessary in interest 
charges, the cost of collections, bad debts, etc. After all, we are 
seedsmen and do not enjoy being bankers and bill collectors. 
We trust we shall receive your orders, as usual, and thank you 
for all past favors. 
Very truly yours, 
S. D. WOODRUFF & SONS
