Price’s Seeds 
1531 1953 
Every successful market grower realizes the tremendous importance quality seeds play in the production of profitable crops. 
The market gardener who makes his livelihood from the sale of the produce grown cannot afford to sow seeds of doubtful value. 
He must have highly bred strains carefully selected from vigorous parent plants that show all the typical characteristics of the 
true variety. They must be full of vigor and vitality to make a sturdy growth from the start. More than three generations of 
market growers have realized that they can depend on PRICE’S to supply them with the finest in Vegetable Seeds. 
Our list of varieties includes the choicest strains of all the best standard sorts but we recommend making thorough trials 
of our many new varieties because they have proved superior in many sections. Higher yields, better quality, and disease resistance 
are Important factors that distinguish many of the newer varieties.
