Fellow Shareholders

The equity market was flat in the fourth quarter and ended the year with a 
small total return of 1.3%.  Although the economy remained healthy and 
corporate profits were robust, stocks could not overcome the relentless rise 
in interest rates during the year. This environment was generally adverse for 
your Fund (and most others), but our yield-oriented focus made us 
particularly vulnerable to rising rates. 

        After a strong third quarter, the decline in the last three months 
wiped out the Fund's previous progress, resulting in a slight overall loss 
for the year. Nevertheless, our 1994 return, while not rewarding or 
satisfying, compared favorably with the average of similar funds. This was 
the fourth consecutive year in which your Fund outperformed its peer group.

YEAR-END DISTRIBUTIONS

Your Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter income dividend of $0.13 
per share on December 27 to shareholders of record on that date. This brought 
the year's total income dividends to $0.49 per share.  At the same time, a 
$0.36 per-share capital gain distribution was declared, of which $0.10 was 
short term and the balance long term. Your check or statement reflecting 
these distributions was mailed separately, as well as the Form 1099-DIV, 
which reported this information for 1994 tax purposes.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The dominant issue for investors in 1994 was the rise in interest rates as 
the Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy to forestall a pickup in 
inflation. Starting in February, the Fed raised the important federal funds 
rate six times during the year.  These actions directly affected short-term 
interest rates and, as a result, the yield on three-month Treasury bills rose 
from 3.1% to 5.8% during 1994. Long-term yields also rose in the face of 
inflation fears and some speculative excesses in the market; the yield on the 
benchmark 30-year Treasury bond started the year at 6.4%, peaked in November 
at 8.2%, and ended the year at 7.9%.  This environment was one of the worst 
in modern memory as virtually all fixed-income securities with maturities 
over one year provided negative annual returns.

        Meanwhile, the economy continued to expand broadly, and corporate 
profits advanced at a good rate.  Other than interest rate-sensitive 
sectors, such as housing, there is little evidence to date that higher rates 
are having any appreciable impact on economic growth.  Additionally, the 
various indicators show few signs of increasing inflation.

        On balance, the economic environment remains favorable.  We expect 
this expansion to continue into 1996, accompanied by further gains in 
corporate profitability.  If the rate of growth does slow later this year, it 
would signal an improvement in the interest rate outlook.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Your Fund's asset allocation (shown in the pie chart) was little changed from 
prior quarters.  This reflects our belief that the Fund is appropriately 
postured in the current environment.  We were fairly active in the final 
quarter in terms of adding new investments to the portfolio.  The retail 
sector experienced a significant price decline during 1994, which piqued our 
interest in the group. Consequently, we established positions in THE GAP, 
K MART, and J.C. PENNEY, all of which we believe offer the patient investor 
good opportunities for

appreciation.  Additionally, these stocks provide an above-average dividend 
yield.

A pie chart showing the percent of the Fund's assets invested among common

  bonds and preferred stocks         7%
  and reserves                       8%

        For the second consecutive quarter, our largest purchases were in the 
electric utility sector.  This is another area that suffered sharp price 
declines, largely in reaction to rising interest rates, and now appears to 
offer generous dividend yields as well as some appreciation potential.  After 
having virtually no exposure in this area last year, your Fund had 
approximately 8% of assets invested in the utility sector at year-end.

T. Rowe Price Growth & Income Fund / December 31, 1994

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 on the day 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 
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.  Securities regularly traded in the over-the-counter 
market are valued at the latest bid price.

        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 converted 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 or losses is reflected as a component of such 
gains or 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.  Effective January 1, 1994, the 
Fund discontinued the practice of equalization.  The results of operations 
and net assets were not affected by this change.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term and U.S. 
Government securities, aggregated $383,823,000 and $287,099,000, 
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1994.

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 December 31, 1994, the aggregate cost of investments for federal 
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $1,118,981,000 and 

12
<PAGE>
 
net unrealized gain aggregated $111,878,000, of which $158,020,000 related to
appreciated investments and $46,142,000 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 $511,000 was payable at December 31, 1994.  The fee is computed 
daily and paid monthly, and consists of an Individual Fund Fee equal to 0.15% 
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 December 31, 1994, and for the year 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 between
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
$2,870,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, of which $295,000 was payable
at year-end.

                                                                              13

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
T. Rowe Price Growth & Income Fund, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related 
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the selected per 
share data and information (which appears under the heading "Financial 
Highlights") present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of the T. Rowe Price Growth & Income Fund, Inc. at December 31, 1994, and the 
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net 
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the selected 
per share data and information for each of the five years in the period then 
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These 
financial statements and selected per share data and information (hereafter 
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's 
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An 
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts 
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits, 
which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1994 by 
correspondence with custodians and brokers and, where appropriate, the 
application of alternative auditing procedures for unsettled security 
transactions, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
