ROSS' SEEDS 
Everybody Knows Ross’ Seed Grows 
It is with a great deal of confidence and optimism that 
we look ahead to the year 1940. For the past 96 years our 
Company and its predecessors have had the pleasure of 
serving thousands of people throughout New England and in 
many other states who ore interested in agriculture and horti¬ 
culture either as a means of livelihood or for pleasure. We 
hope to continue to serve these same thousands and others for 
years to come. 
During the past few years such rapid improvements and 
developments in materials and their uses have come about 
that it has been difficult to keep abreast of them all. However 
we offer to the public the most modern and up to date 
merchandise that it is possible to supply. 
Some excellent new flower and vegetable varieties are 
introduced this year and we are listing several of these, confi¬ 
dent that they will make a worthwhile addition to any garden. 
There appears to be only slight price changes from 1939 
on most items. A few of the grass seeds are somewhat higher 
due to short crops here or to European conditions. Seeds in 
general ore of good quality. 
We wish all a prosperous New Year.
