SierlingA 1947 Catalog 
January 30, 1947. 
To My Frienps AND PaTRONs: 
Please accept this catalog with my very best wishes for your 
health and happiness for 1947. 
I sincerely hope we will all have a successful gardening and 
farming year. Last year gave us the best crops ever in potatoes and 
the poorest in tomatoes, although our tomatoes were very promising 
until the blight struck them. 
Our stocks of Garden, Field and Flower seeds are quite com- 
plete with the exception of Fordhook Bush Lima Beans and World 
Record Peas. These items are very short. 
We have an exceptionally good stock of Blue Ribbon Brussels 
Sprout seed, Sterling Erfurt Cauliflower seed, Sure Crop Wax 
Beans, Mammoth Pod Fava Beans, A&C Cucumber seed, Marglobe 
‘Certified Tomato seed, and other items too numerous to mention. 
Premier, Dorset, Fairfax, Catskill and Mastodon strawberry plants 
are also in good supply. Prices in this catalog are as low as we can 
make them, taking into account the cost of labor, material, etc. 
Vigoro for your lawn, applied this Spring, will give you a nice 
green lawn all summer. Then in the Fall, give your lawn a good 
application of Bone Meal. In that way the grass will get all the 
necessary elements to make the very best root and top growth pos- 
sible. This is especially necessary in shade. Ask us for a set of 
beauty plans when you get 100 Ibs. of Vigoro or more. 
Agrico is very good for your trees and shrubs. Make a number 
of holes around your trees as far out as the ends of the branches 
and put only a small amount in each hole. Pound the hole in and 
you will see the difference in the growth of your trees. We have a 
special Agrico for your Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Mt. Laurel. 
Thanking you for your patronage in the past and asking for 
a share, if not all, of your seed and plant business for 1947, I 
remain, 
Yours for better seeds and plants, 
RaLtpH W. STERLING
