EARL MAY’S BIG OFFER TO 
EVERY BOY AND GIRL! 
I wanf you boys and girls to help me get a good garden started in 
every home in the entire country, and in exchange for your help, | will 
give you your chcice of cash or one of these valuable 
prizes. They’re Easy 
fo Sell! 
This collection is a real bargain, and 
one all your friends, neighbors, and rela- 
tives will want to take advantage of. If 
they bought this same seed by the packet 
it would cost them 65¢, so not only are 
they saving money by buying this col- 
lection from you, but they are getting the 
best high grade seed at the same time. 
It’s easy to sell these collections, and an 
ambitious boy or girl can sell ten col- 
lections in an hour after school. Every- 
body gets cash or prizes and that is im- 
portant. Always remember “the early bird 
gets the worm’, so get your seeds right 
away, get started early before some other 
boy or girl has supplied your neighbor- 
hood. You should be able to win several 
prizes. 
Besides the prizes I have pictured 
here, I have many more for you to choose 
from. I will send you one of my prize 
leaflets with your seeds, with pictures 
and descriptions of each item.
