just a few of the things you will see when 
you take a tour through Earl May’s nur¬ 
sery drive. 
Along our nursery drive you will see more than 
1200 acres of growing nursery stock. Mile after 
mile of beautiful flowers, trees, evergreens and 
shrubs. 
Let’s leave the seedhouse and follow the arrow

this system in one season.
