— Are Hardiest For All Climes 
Seedsmen, Florists, Nurserymen 
May's Nursery and Landscape Department 
THIS IS one of the 
most extensive 
branches of our bus- 
iness and one which 
is growing with as- 
tonishing rapidity 
to meet the demand 
of the present day. 
Our nurseries enjoy 
the most Northerly 
situation of any in 
the United States, 
and the stock we 
offer, grown there, 
is hardier and more 
productive than any 
other for having en- 
dured the rigors of a 
Minnesota winter. 
It is bound to gruw 
anywhere. Our seed 
arbors are extensive 
—avenue and park 
trees are cultivated 
in large blocks; 
shrubs and small- 
growing trees cover 
many acres and 
every tree and shrub 
is given individual 
attention to secure 
symmetry of form 
and fullness^ of de- 
velopment in the 
grown plant. We 
can furnish all va- 
rieties of trees and 
shrubs, which are 
suitable to this cli- 
mate, and in any 
desired sixe, from 
the seedling to the 
fully grown. Those 
desiring trees for 
parks, cemeteries, 
etc., or in large 
quantities will do 
well to write for 
special quotations. 
OUR TREES are grourn vnder a thorough, clean, system of cultivation, fre- 
quently transplanted, and arc well supplied with an abundance of 
fibrous roots which enables them to bear transplanting well. lo many 
varieties we have large specimen trees which are not quoted here but on 
which wc are always glad to make prices. Our packing sheds have the most 
complete laciUties for handling and shipping, insuring the arrival of all 
stock in perfect condition. We grow these trees from seed and on account 
of the extreme northerly situation of our nurseries they are peculiarly 
adapted to planting in the most rigorous of climates. 
WE MAKE a specialty of landscaping grounds of ail kinds, planting and 
furnishing stock for parks, cemeteries, factory, hotel and school grounds, 
sanitariums and universities, as well as priv.ite estates, and_ homes of all 
sizes. Our landscape architect will make plans and specifications on appli- 
cation. For clients with small residence grounds these are drawn free of 
charge, but in order to protect ourselves from people who have no intention 
of using the plans, we request the payment of the nominal fee of one dollar 
in return for which we will furnish client with a credit certificate applicable 
on the first order for trees and shrubs amounting to ?45.00 or over. In the 
development ot parks, cemeteries and 
large grounds where personal investigation 
is required a small charge is made tp com- 
pensate for time and expense involved. 
Parks And Boulevards 
THFSK ARE a factor in the life of any town, 
large or small, and the increased sums 
that are being devoted to them annually 
in all civic centers show that the people are 
alive to their importance in the community. 
We specialize in the production of stock for 
this sort of planting, extreme hardiness 
being the first requisite, beauty and rapid- 
ity of growth the second. For this pur- 
pose we specially recommend the Catalpa 
Speciosa, Silver or Soft Maple and Caro- 
lina, Lombardy and Silver Poplars, though 
all the varieties in the long list of orna- 
mental and shade trees which follows will 
inake a quick and satisfactory showing. 
Cemetery Planting 
CEMETERY PLANTING is not Unlike i>ark 
planting but must be characterized by 
an air of dignity and repose to an extent 
rot necessary in a park or boulevard, and 
ii is here that the weeping trees as well as 
rvcrgreens of all sorts, with their beautiful 
ymbolism, may be used with striking 
ctTcct. Let us submit you plans for your 
jniblic grounds, and make you special 
prices, when stock is ordered in large 
i.^H3ntities. We can help you to make your 
estate beautiful — driveways, lawns, terraces, 
trees, shrubbery — all these combined make 
an attractive and artistic whole which appeals 
to those who have a love for the beautiful.
