ROSS’ SEEDS 
Again we wish you a prosperous New Year. 
During the many years which our company has served the farmer, home owner 
and gardener it has been our privilege to enjoy the confidence of many thousands of 
satisfied customers. It is with a great deal of pleasure that we review an ever increasing 
number of names on our records that indicate in many instances almost a lifetime of 
pleasant business relations. Perhaps our catalogue has come to you now for the first 
time and if so, we respectfully solicit your orders for such items as you may need that 
we can supply; or if this is just one more of Ross Bros, catalogues may we solicit your 
continued patronage and confidence and thank you for the opportunity you have given 
us in the past to serve you. 
Vegetable and Field Seeds 
The growing season just past (1934) has proved disastrous in many ways to 
the grower of seeds. The seeds which we offer are produced in many sections of the 
United States as well as in several foreign countries and it is well known that very 
unusual conditions have occured widespread that have affected our crops. There are 
some shortage among the vegetable seeds, not serious however, that have caused prices 
to increase; we refer particularly to such crops as onions, cucumbers, squashes, melons 
and sweet corn. Other varieties are quite normal in supply. 
There is no over-supply of field seeds, as most of those crops are mainly produced 
thru some sections of the drought area of 1934. We do however believe that there is 
sufficient seed for all usual requirements and at quite normal prices. 
Flower Seeds 
This season we are offering many of the improved and new varieties and we hope 
every lover of flowers will give as many of these as possible a trial. Several of these 
new flowers are no less than wonderful. 
Grass Seeds 
It has always been our policy to sell only grass seed of the highest quality and 
we shall maintain this same policy through 1935, although to do this it will be necessary 
to charge a slightly higher and for some varieties a much higher price than last season. 
We are however offering grass seeds at prices which we believe are consistant with 
the quality which we offer. 
Prices 
Prices quoted in this catalogue we believe are a fair value for the goods we offer 
and we will maintain these if possible. We do however expect some changes and all 
prices are quoted subject to change without notice.
