VEGETABLE GROWERS ASS’N OF AMERICA : 
Dear Friends, mA 
This year we are trying to keep our prices down and have not raised any unless it was ab- 
solutely necessary. On many varieties we have even been able to reduce our prices although the 
cost of seed has generally increased. 
We realize that you market gardeners have not been getting as much for your fresh produce 
in the local markets as you were the last few years, and yet your costs of producing and packaging 
the vegetables you raise have gone up. Therefore, we are trying to help you as much as we can 
by keeping our prices as low as possible for the best seeds obtainable. 
In this catalog we have again added more varieties of vegetables to meet the increased demand 
for seed not previously cataloged. We are always trying to give you the very best strains of 
vegetable seed in order for you to have the highest quality produce. 
Substitutions on any variety will not be made unless we have your permission. 
We again want to thank our many market-gardener friends for the business they have given 
us, and we look forward to even more pleasant relations in the years to come. 
Here’s hoping you have a very successful and profitable season. 
Sincerely, 
TRI-STATE SEED COMPANY
