To Our Customers and Friends: 
Today, as never before, New England people are garden minded. We anticipate 
that this year there will be a decided increase in the planting of flower, vegetable, farm 
seeds and bulbs. 
We have endeavored in this catalogue to bring to you the outstanding novelties of 
flowers and vegetables as well as the best of the standard varieties. We offer but one 
quality “Sterling Quality,” which is synonymous with the Best. 
To our Old Friends: We assure you that your orders have been greatly appreciat¬ 
ed and we are looking forward to serving you again this'year. 
To our New Customers: Your orders will receive our prompt, careful and cour¬ 
teous attention. 
May we be favored with your orders? ALLEN> STERLING & LOTHROP. 
SPECIAL NOTICE 
“Order Early to Avoid Disappointment” 
How familiar this sounds, but we would be absolutely remiss in our duty to our cus¬ 
tomers if we did not emphasize this point in our catalogue this year. Practically all varie¬ 
ties of Field, Vegetable and Flower Seeds are limited on account of the extreme drought 
during the growing season last year. We like to fill all orders 100%. Won’t you aid us by 
sending in your order at once? 
INFORMATION AND SUGGESTIONS TO CUSTOMERS: 
We pay the postage on all vegetable and flower seeds quoted in this catalogue up to 
and including five pounds of each variety. 
Orders. Should be written preferably in ink on our order sheet or on a blank sheet 
separate from letter. Be sure to sign your name and give your address. Telephone 
orders will be given immediate attention. Call Portland: Dial 3-3874. 
Non-Warranty. We give no warranty, express or implied, as to quality, productive¬ 
ness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants we send out, and will not be in 
any way responsible for the crop. ALLEN, STERLING & LOTHROP.
