CAMBRIDGE VALLEY SEED GARDENS

CAMBRIDGE, NEW YORK

Since our establishment in 1832, it has been our constant aim to put out
only seeds of the highest quality, always believing that in seeds, “the best
is none too good.” With our various growing stations scattered throughout
America, trial grounds and corps of expert field men, and our well-equipped
cleaning and drying establishments, our facilities for producing high quality
seeds are not excelled by any seed growing establishment in America.

We do not pretend to compete in price with unreliable or careless growers
or dealers, as poor seeds are dear at any price, but we are equipped to pro¬
duce strictly high grade seeds at a moderate cost. We handle nothing we
do not believe to be the best and intend that our prices shall be as low as
is consistent with this quality. We always want to feel that the seeds which
we send out are our best advertisement.

The prices in this list are those prevailing on date of issue and are sub¬
ject to change without notice. We are, however, always pleased to make
firm prices or special quotations on large quantities at any time.

Our prices are for delivery f. o. b. cars at Cambridge, N. Y. Barrels,
boxes and bags are charged extra at value and are not returnable.

To those who use sufficient quantities and can anticipate their require*
ments, we are glad to quote low contract prices on stocks to be grown the
coming season, provided we have their orders early.

T Fl R S * ^t t^ie Pr^ces herein named our terms are net

count of 1 VP/o will be allowed for cash within ten days. Bills pur¬
chased on contract, growing orders or on special quotations made
on large quantities are always acceptance due net 60 days from
date of invoice, or subject to a discount of 1H% for cash in ten
days. Cash or satisfactory reference must accompany orders from
unknown correspondents.

We give no warranty, express or implied as to description, quality, pro¬
ductiveness or any other matter connected with the goods we send out, and
we will not be in any way responsible for the crop.

To Our Customers :

Since the issuance of our last Trade Price List seed dealers
generally have been more or less exercised about future business.
The business of selling seeds is one that must go on, as people
must have food even if they are obliged to do without other
necessities, so it is only proper to figure out that seed must be
sown if vegetables and flowers are to be produced. We approach
the coming spring months feeling very optimistic as to the ulti¬
mate results. During the growing season of 1932 we produced
an exceedingly fine lot of seed, and therefore are in a position
to supply practically all the normal requirements of our friends
and customers in the trade.

JEROME B. RICE SEED COMPANY.

As to Quantities :

Seed priced at 50 cents or less per pound not less than
half pounds sold at pound prices and a higher propor¬
tionate price will be charged for seed by the ounce.

Rices Specialties for 1933

Tendergreen

Tendergreen Bean

This is well named and is becoming
very popular with both home and market-
gardeners. The round creasebacked
medium green pods are 6 inches long,
always stringless and of the finest
quality. In season it is slightly later
than Burpee’s Stringless and the pods
remain in good eating condition over a
long period. (See page 9)

Stringless Davis’ White Wax
Bean

Although for many years the
Davis’ White Kidney Wax Bean
has been popular in those localities
demanding an early large flat
straight podded wax Bean, there
has been one big objection to the
strain and that was a strong string.
However in this new strain the
string is missing and the pods
are the same attractive waxy white
color. (See Page 7)

Stringless Black Valentine
Bean

For years the most popular
green-podded winter shipping
Bean from the South was the
Black Valentine. As the
consumer began demanding
stringless Beans, there was a
decided slowing down in its
popularity. In this stringless
strain we have a pod which is
not quite so round as that of
the old variety, but it retains
the desirable dark green color
and shipping characteristics
and is without strings. (See
Page 8)

You will find on pages 7
to 11 all the varieties of
beans we offer. Better
stocks are not on the
market.

Rice’s Golden Sunshine
Corn

We again are calling your
attention to this wonderful
variety of sweet corn, for we
believe it to be one of the
most valuable sorts in its class.
Earlier than Golden Bantam
by one week with the same
rich deep golden color and
high quality and with ears
one-half larger than Bantam.
A profitable variety for the
market and an acquisition to
any home garden. (See page
23)

Rice’s Golden Sunshine Corn

JEROME B. RICE SEED CO., CAMBRIDGE. N. Y.

Rices Specialties for 1933

New Golden Gem or Nugget

Earliest yellow sweet corn. Two weeks earlier than Bantam.

The earliest Yellow Sweet Corn with a flavor approaching that of Golden
Bantam and ear of almost the same size — just the right size to permit easy
handling when eaten off the cob.

Golden Gem is a week earlier than Golden Sunshine, decidedly more dwarf
in habit and the 8 rowed ears are well filled from butt to tip with the
deliciously sweet golden yellow kernels. It is about ten days to two weeks
earlier than Golden Bantam. ( See page 22)

Rice’s Longfellow Cucumber
Equally Dependable for Greenhouse or Outdoor Culture

The illustration above hardly does credit to this most excellent cucumber
in that it cannot portray the deep emerald green color which is one of its
leading characteristics.

Very few cucumbers are adaptable alike to greenhouse and field culture,
most of the forcing sorts being near failures outdoors, but this is not true of
the Longfellow, fruits of which we have grown in the open so perfect as to
be indistinguishable from a hothouse product. ( See page 27)

National Pickling Cucumber

It is extremely productive, perfect in form, produces a very small per¬
centage of “Nubs” and “Crooks,” and is in every way desirable. We are
headquarters for the finest strain grown from originators’ stock. ( See
page 27)

Rice’s Early Fortune Cucumber

Originated by us in 1906, Rice’s Early Fortune cucumber has increased in
popularity until today it is the outstanding trucker and market garden
variety. It is early, extremely productive, solid, and has a deep rich green
color, which does not fade in shipment. We constantly are adding improve¬
ments to this strain and we predict that it long will retain its leadership ill
the cucumber field. {See page 26)

hardy and less liable to blight. Stalks are somewhat taller, but have
the same form and heavy heart of the Self Blanching, and while
maturing about two weeks after that variety, has the advantage in
being an excellent winter keeper as well as an early celery. One of

For the past few years we have devoted a great deal of time and money to the
improvement of our stocks of Sweet Corn. Not only have we given care to the
selection and improvement of our types, but we have been most careful in testing
our stock seed, ear by ear, for root rot and other troublesome diseases, and then, by
ear to row plantings, have been able to check the results obtained, eliminate disease
if found and improve our types as well.

similar; produces a good market onion and is an exceptional keeper;
used mostly to produce onion sets.

in the more critical markets, it is a very dependable onion to grow;
it is almost devoid of “stiff-necks,” or scullions, is always a heavy
yielder, has an excellent color, and because of its small neck cures
well and makes splendid storage stock .

This, our special strain, is all grown from carefully selected, hand-
sorted bulbs and is immeasurably superior to most stock offered

Something of Interest to You

In 1932 we celebrated our One Hundredth Anniversary and we re-print
here in condensed form part of an article which appeared in the Seed
World (Chicago, Ill.) November 11, 1932.

The seed growing business of the Jerome B. Rice Seed Company, Cam¬
bridge, New York, celebrates its one-hundredth birthday anniversary this
fall.

Activity at Top Speed

Its several warehouses at Cambridge are rapidly being filled with seeds
from the west. Activity in the cleaning and milling departments would be
a joy to A. T. Ferrell and A. C. Barbeau were they to see the many types
of their products in constant operation.

Extensive Seed Growing Operations

No mention of the company’s activities would be complete without includ¬
ing the far distant stations. In Michigan a warehouse equipped with drier
and cleaners for handling radish and sweet corn is located at Carson City.
That station this year reports an unusually good crop of high quality radish
seed.

The plant at Rocky Ford, Colo., is maintained especially for crops such
as cucumber, cantaloupe, watermelon, pumpkin and squash. Here also experi¬
ments with other varieties of seed are constantly made. Another plant at
Filer, Ida., is operated on beans, one of the company’s specialties. The
growing station at Bozeman, Mont., is devoted principally to peas, while Mt.
Vernon, Wash., is now shipping east in carload lots such items as peas,
cabbage, beet, Swiss chard, Mangel Wurzel, turnip and rutabaga. The
Sacramento, Cal., plant naturally is used for the company’s California grown
varieties.

Heavier paper is used in the larger than the smaller bags ; weight of paper
corresponds to quantity the bag is made to contain.

All these bags are printed with our business card unless purchaser ex¬
pressly states he wishes them without it.

No charge is made for printing our card.

For printing purchaser’s name and address a charge of 75c. will be made
for any number up to 1M ; for a greater number 50c. per M, will be charged.

This charge applies only when bags are all of one size and not when the
1000 is made up of various sizes of bags. Each change in size 75c, extra.

Printing other than plain name and address will be charged for according
to time it takes.

TELEGRAPHIC CIPHER OR CABLE CODE

FOR WEIGHTS

The telegraphic cipher word for quantities must always precede the
cipher word for seeds. In telegraphing us use first the word indicating
how shipment is to be made : by Mail, Express or Freight, then give
your quantity code word, followed by the cipher for seed wanted, thus :

“Mail Abduct Squeeze Abate Caballer,” would mean mail at once
five pounds Improved Hubbard Squash and two pounds All Head Early
Cabbage. “Express Able Puffing freight Active Peak, ” would mean
to express at once ten pounds Quaker Pie Pumpkin and ship by freight
250 pounds Little Marvel Peas. Where the same quantity is wanted of
several items use the word ditto, thus: “Express Abide Raging ditto
Radius Raccoon Rambling, ’’which we would understand meant to express
you at once eight pounds each of these Radishes : Sparkler White Tip,
Rice’s Saxa, Early Scarlet Turnip and Icicle.

Our customers will find this a very inexpensive way of wiring their
orders, but we must caution them that care be taken in writing out the
messages, as we cannot hold ourselves responsible for errors arising from
incomplete messages or incorrect translation.

IMPORTANT. — This telegraphic cipher must be used ONLY on
orders by telegraph or cable, and never in written orders sent by mail.
