Sterling’ S 1946 } Catalog 
February 4th, 1946. 
» Dlease accept this, my 1946 catalog, with my best wishes for a 
successful gardening year. 
We-passed through one of the most seek years - our 
Nation’s history last. year, a year of Victory over our enemies and 
a year of new World Order. 
We may well get down on our knees and thank our God a 
this wonderful Victory and while we are on our knees, ask God to 
guide and diréct us and help us to win the Peace. 
Last year was quite a year for our Long Island farmers. A very 
productive year and good prices for almost every kind of crop, two 
things that very seldom go together. 
Our stocks of garden and field seeds and shins will be very 
good this year if all goes well. There are very few shortages. We 
will have a good supply of Fordhook Bush Lima beans, World 
Record peas, Blue Ribbon Brussels Sprout seed and Sterling Strain 
cauliflower seed. 
Strawberry Plants are more plentiful this year. We have a 
good supply of Premier, Maytime, Dorsett, Fairfax and Starbright, 
but order early and make sure of them. : 
_ Vigoro for your Lawn, applied in early Spring, will give you 
a nice green lawn all Summer. Agrico for your shrubs and trees 
will help keep them growing and blooming. We also have a Special 
Agrico for your Rhododendruns, Azaleas and Mountain Laurel. 
If you want to be free from flies, mosquitoes and gnats this — 
Summer, use one of those DDT bombs. You may have to use it 
quite often on your open porch, but once in one or two weeks 
will do the trick inside the house. Use Carbola Js DDT foe your 
barn, henhouse and cellar. 
We are still short of good help, so. ee be patient ih ‘us 
as you have in the past. Thanking you for your valued patronage 
and asking a part if not all of your. seed and Pan business for | 
1946, I remain, 
AV ike for better Seeds a Plants,
