16 STERLING'S ANNUAL CATALOG 
GRASS, CLOVER AND ALFALFA SEED 
Prices liable to change without notice. 
Terms strictly cash. 
I make my prices just as reasonable as is possible consistent with 
the quality. It is the very last fraction of 1% in purity that costs 
money. I believe that it pays big returns, too, as it is truer in seeds 
than in anything else that “the best is none too good.” 
In sowing Timothy alone without Clover, use 15 to 20 lbs. to the 
acre. If your land is sour and Grass and Clover does not do well as a 
rule, a little lime sown on top of the ground and harrowed in before 
. sowing the seed would be a great help. 
All our Clover Seed is grown in the Norttaenet Usa:

LAWN MAKING 
Our Lawn Grass Seed is mixed from the very best grass seed, 
recleaned and free from weeds, and we sell many hundred pounds all 
over Long Island, as there is no better grade seed on the market. 
Loosen the soil in which a new lawn is to be made to a depth of at 
least five inches, and lighten it with humus, compost or manure, if it 
is heavy and inclined to bake. Apply fertilizer liberally, either Sheep 
Manure, Bone Meal or Bovung, especially good for lawns. Use Vigoro 
on established lawns in early Spring and early Fall. 
Sow in the early Spring when cool weather and ample rainfall 
will insure complete germination and a good start for the seedlings 
before hot dry weather comes. If seeding must be delayed, special 
precautions must be taken to prevent the ground drying out. Early 
fall is a very desirable time to seed, if moisture is sufficient. 
See that the seed is well covered. Rake it into a new seed bed and
