Fellow Shareholders
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your fund benefited as the capital markets soared during the second quarter. The
bond market continued to rebound from its setback of last year while the stock
market, paced by technology issues, surged to record high levels. The first half
gains were quite exceptional and, in fact, have only been exceeded in five other
such periods over the past 50 years.

     Your fund provided excellent returns during these periods, but did not keep
pace with the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and slightly trailed
the competition. It is not unusual for your fund, with its more conservative,
yield-oriented investment approach, to lag during rapid market advances.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

On June 27, your Board of Directors declared a second quarter income dividend of
$0.13 per share, payable to shareholders of record on that date. This brings
your total 1995 distributions to $0.43 per share, including the $0.16 per share
capital gain paid in the first quarter. Your check or statement reflecting this
distribution was mailed separately.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The economy experienced a substantial slowdown during the first half, in
contrast to the favorable growth trend of the past year. Although the "pause"
was not widely anticipated, it did not roil the stock market as might normally
be expected, largely because long-term interest rates declined substantially as
the economy weakened. This decline was subsequently enhanced by the Federal
Reserve's shift toward an easier monetary policy as indicated by the early July
cut in the federal funds rate. Additionally, corporate profit growth remained
generally favorable despite the slowdown, lending crucial support to the market.

     Favorable stock market periods tend to occur as investors, in their
collective expectations, anticipate future developments. Dramatic market
advances, such as this year's, usually anticipate a significant change and
typically follow periods of recession, declining corporate profits, or bear
markets. None of these elements was present during the first half, and we were
surprised by the intensity of this market rise, albeit pleasantly so. However,
we are mindful that, in the absence of significant improvement in the economy,
the higher level of stock prices makes the market more vulnerable to future
disappointment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The asset allocation of your fund (shown in the pie chart) became somewhat 
more conservative during the quarter. Cash reserves were increased modestly 
to 12%, and the bond 
<PAGE>
 
component was almost halved to 4%. Although equity exposure increased from 76%
to 78% during the period, this reflected the effect of rising stock prices
rather than a deliberate increase in the equity allocation. At this time, we
are, in fact, gradually selling to reduce overall equity exposure.

     As you can see in the list of major portfolio transactions following this
letter, the majority of sales were bond holdings, mostly high-yield securities
that had provided an excellent income stream and some appreciation. The high-
yield (lower credit quality) sector is more sensitive to stock market movements
than the typical high-grade bond, and since we were becoming more cautious, we
felt now was a good time to reduce exposure.

     The largest purchases represented a blend of both new and existing
holdings. Occasionally, we discuss a sector theme that is guiding our stock
selection. In this case, these securities appealed to us because they met our
criteria of attractive relative dividend yields and good prospects for future
growth. As a group, they provide a higher dividend yield than the general
market.

     A perennial element of our portfolio management is the discipline to
recycle money out of holdings that have met our objectives into those we believe
provide better value or greater long-term opportunity. Your fund's emphasis on
relative valuations is shown in the following financial profile.

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

We are becoming more cautious regarding market prospects, mainly because the
market has risen so far in such a short time. In our view, the important market
fundamentals invite a more sober assessment. We believe the primary drop in
interest rates has already occurred, and while corporate profits are growing,
their rate of gain is slowing. Additionally, as has been the case for some time,
the general valuation level of the market is not appealing in a historical
context.

     Maybe interest rates will decline more than we anticipate, corporate
profits will grow faster (and longer) than we expect, and investor enthusiasm
will continue to overwhelm valuation concerns. But maybe not. In that case, your
fund's more conservative stance should be advantageous.

     We will wait for periods of market weakness before committing the cash
reserves held in the portfolio. Meanwhile, we stay alert for specific
opportunities that meet our relative value criteria.

                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                        /s/ Stephen W. Boesel

T. Rowe Price Growth & Income Fund / June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price Growth & Income Fund (the fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company.

A) Valuation - Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuations
are made. A security which is listed or traded on more than one exchange is
valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for
such security. Listed securities that are not traded on a particular day and
securities that are regularly traded in the over-the-counter market are valued
at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. Other equity securities are
valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid and asked prices deemed by
the Board of Directors, or by persons delegated by the Board, best to reflect
fair value.

     Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are
valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers who
make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service. Short-
term debt securities are valued at their cost which, when combined with accrued
interest, approximates fair value.

     For purposes of determining the fund's net asset value per share, the U.S.
dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank.

     Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the officers of the
fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.

B) Affiliated Companies - Investments in companies 5% or more of whose
outstanding voting securities are held by the fund are defined as "Affiliated
Companies" in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

C) Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated into
U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates of such transactions.
The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized
security gains and losses is reflected as a component of such gains and losses.

D) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are
reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $158,295,000 and $195,062,000, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its
taxable income.

     At June 30, 1995, the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax
and financial reporting purposes was $1,181,389,000 and net unrealized gain
aggregated $256,092,000, of which $286,532,000 related to appreciated
investments and $30,440,000 to depreciated investments.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The investment management agreement between the fund and T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. (the Manager) provides for an annual investment management fee,
of which $693,000 was payable at June 30, 1995. The fee is computed daily and
paid monthly, and consists of an Individual Fund Fee, equal to 0.25% of average
daily net assets, and a Group fee. The Group Fee is based on the combined assets
of certain mutual funds sponsored by the Manager or Rowe-Price Fleming
International, Inc. (the Group). The Group Fee rate ranges from 0.48% for the
first $1 billion of assets to 0.31% for assets in excess of $34 billion. At June
30, 1995, and for the six months then ended, the effective annual Group Fee rate
was 0.34%. The fund pays a pro rata share of the Group Fee based on the ratio of
its net assets to those of the Group.

     In addition, the fund has entered into agreements with the Manager and two
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Manager, pursuant to which the fund receives
certain other services. The Manager computes the daily share price and maintains
the financial records of the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRPS) is the
fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides shareholder and
administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services,
Inc. provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement
accounts invested in the fund. Additionally, the fund is one of several T. Rowe
Price mutual funds (the Underlying Funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum
Growth Fund (Spectrum) invests. In accordance with an Agreement among Spectrum,
the Underlying Funds, the Manager and TRPS, expenses from the operation of
Spectrum are borne by the Underlying Funds based on each Underlying Fund's
proportionate share of assets owned by Spectrum. The fund incurred expenses
pursuant to these related party agreements totaling approximately $1,410,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, of which $266,000 was payable at period-end.


                                                                              11

Annual Meeting Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Growth & Income Fund held an annual meeting on April 19, 1995, to elect
directors of the fund; to ratify the board of director's selection of Price
Waterhouse LLP as the fund's independent accountants; and to vote on a proposed
change in the fund's fee schedule. This change, which was approved by
shareholders, raised the individual fund fee 10 basis points from 0.15% to
0.25%, bringing the total management fee to 0.59% of total assets. At the new
level, the management fee and total expense ratio remain well below the average
charged by funds with similar investment objectives.

     The results of the voting were as follows (by number of shares):
