EARL MAY'S NURSERY STOCK IS WELL GRADED are flashed through space 
You know this means a lot more than just the words, and come into your home.

“well graded.” It means that we will send you good, strong, 
well-rooted plants with good, thrifty, vigorous tops. Our 
own experience has taught us that that’s the kind that takes 
hold and makes a good root growth and produces a good top growth. This 
means more flowers, more fruits—and that is one of many reasons why my nur- 
sery stock has done so well and received so much praise throughout the U.S.A.
