Minnesota's New Seedling ~A Prize for a Name 
Can You Help Us Name This fFonderful New Variety? We JVill Give $25.00 
to the Person Suggesting a Suitable Name Which Shall be Adopted by Us 
^^^FEW YEARS AGO We succeeded in purchasing 
for a large sum from P. H. Perry, of 
Minnetonka, the originator of this a_ 
his entire stock of the seedling to- 
gether with the exclusive right of 
propagation. We have tested it 
and propagated it at our May- 
field Nurseries and have found 
it to be all that Mr. Perry 
claimed it to be and are offer- 
ing it this year for the first 
time. The fruit is very large 
and round, very dark red in 
color, shading to brilliant 
crimson in the high lights 
and flecked with pin points of 
white. It is beautiful to look 
upon and is the latest keeper 
that Minnesota has yet pro- 
duced, keeping so long that it 
may safely be called a winter 
apple. The flesh is white, juicy, 
tender and crisp, very sweet but 
with a sub-acidity that preserves the 
true apple flavor which is sometimes 
lacking in a very sweet apple. Its beauty, 
size and flavor make it primarily a dessert 
apple but its strength of flavor makes it an 
excellent cooking apple as well. The tree is very 
hardy, having shown by our tests that it endures 
weathers and temperatures with the sturdiness of an oak, 
TWENTY years observation it has never 
been known to blight and the parent 
tree by record has borne a continuous 
crop for fifteen years. Mr. Perry, 
who is well known as the pioneer 
apple grower of Minnesota, had 
no name for this seedling, but 
left it to us and we in turn are 
asking you to suggest a title 
for this "Nameless Wonder." 
We well give ^25.00 in 
cash to the person suggest- 
ing the name by which to 
advertise this fine apple. 
Competition open to every- 
body purchasing one or 
more trees; address your 
suggestion to the Competi- 
tive Name Department, L. L. 
May & Co., St. Paul, Minne- 
sota. All suggestions must be 
in before May 1st and the 
prize will be awarded June 1st. 
We are offering only One and 
Two Year Old trees; every tree has 
our seal attached. We are the only 
in the world offering this splendid 
variety; all propagation rights are con- 
trolled exclusively by us at a great cost and 
we are putting it on the market for the first time. It 
is bound to take first rank as the Winter Apple of Minnesota, 
As our stock is limited and we wish to disseminate this variety as widely as possible we do not desire to sell more than one 
dozen trees to a customer. 
One year old strong trees, each 2Sc., per doz. $2.50, postpaid; two year old trees, 4 to 5 ft, each 50c., per doz. $5.00, by freight 
or express. 
May's New Everbearing Raspberry— St. Regis 
OUR NEW VARIETY tested at our Mayjield nurseries 
and found to jnield heavily by June 20 from 
plants planted in early April of the same year. The 
yield continued without intermission until the mid- 
dle of October, the berries being large, beau- 
tiful, firm and deliciously flavored until the 
last. These facts speak eloquently to 
growers who desire the highest prices 
for their fruit, for the St. Regis 
by the second season has 
been found to be the 
earliest of all 
the red 
raspber- 
ries and 
its first 
crop is 
far greater 
than that of any other variety known. 
The berries are bright crimson, very large and firm, 
keeping thus longer after being picked than any 
other red raspberry. They will bear shipping 200 
miles and keep in perfect condition for several days 
after this. Flavor is delicious, rich and sugarv.
