Dear Horticultural Specialist:
If you recently submitted your 2009 Census of Horticultural Specialties report form, thank
you for your participation. Your response will provide growers with a voice to help show the
nation the value and importance of the horticulture industry. If you have not yet completed
your report form, it is not too late.
The information gathered in the Horticulture Census supplies vital data that all levels of
government and industry use to develop technologies and programs that impact your life and
community. Your participation helps to ensure the growth and sustainability of horticultural
operations in the United States.
Return your completed report form within 14 days. As a reminder, your response to the
Census of Horticultural Specialties is required by law (Title 7, U.S. Code). This same law
protects the confidentiality of your responses. If you have questions or need assistance, call
(888) 424-7828.
Thank you again for your support.
Sincerely,

Cynthia Clark
