24 Superior Quality 



L. L. MAY CO. 



Seed Department 



We wish to call our customers' attention to the fact that this year we are listing for sale only those 

 varieties of seed which have proven by test to be of sturdy vitality and of exceptional merit. We have 

 eliminated many varieties and are placing before you only the best that the market affords, that the results 

 of your garden may be sure. MAY'S SEEDS have stood as the standard of excellence the world 

 over for forty years. The government test given to us many years ago of 99 and 29/100% pure 

 has been our standard ever since. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining seed this year it has been_ neces- 

 sary for us in some cases to raise our prices but we know the the first cost of seed means very little to 

 the gardener if he is only sure of a satisfactory crop as the reward of his labor and land investment. Try 

 out our system of crop insurance this year by planting the finest quality seeds that can be procured.
