Greetings to all my Friends and Customers: 
This, my catalog for 1941, goes out to you with my very best 
wishes for a Prosperous and Happy New Year. 
There are many items, such as Carrot Seed, Cauliflower Seed, 
Onion Seed and Spinach Seed, that are extremely short this year due 
to war conditions abroad. 
We have a good supply of nearly all kinds of seed to start with 
but ask your patience with us if we get short of some kinds later 
in the season and have to advance our prices accordingly. 
I strive each year to get the very best stocks of seed and raise 
the best plants and nursery stock possible and sell as low as possible 
considering quality. Your success means everything to us and that 
is what we keep in mind at all times. 
Thanking you for your patronage and asking for your continu- 
ance of confidence in Sterling Standard Seeds and Plants, I remain, 
Sincerely yours, 
RALPH W. STERLING. 

Our new Lord & Burnham Greenhouse - The Sterling Flower Shop.
