STERLING’S ANNUAL CATALOG 15 
GRASS, CLOVER AND ALFALFA SEED 
Prices liable to change without notice. Grass seed is very scarce 
and high. 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 anything else that “the best is none too good.” 
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.

Laughing Water, Southold, L. I., Aug. 10th. 
After preparing the ground with your Peat Moss and Bovung, I sowed Sterling 
Lawn Grass about two weeks ago. I wish you could see it now. The grass is up about 
an inch and it looks like a piece of green velvet. Hii Gee He 
Mattituck, N. Y., Sept 18, 1948. 
I wish to say that our small garden did wonderful this year from your seeds. 
It is our first experience with a garden and we had an abundance of everything in- 
cluding carrots. Our lawn was beautiful sown late this spring with Sterling Sandy 
Soil mixture. The white clover is still thriving after this long dry spell. Vices
