This is a Very Solid Lettuce of Large Size May King Lettuce What the Florists' Review Says About May King Lettuce : There is quite a variety of lettuce suitable for forcing purposes. The main object is to select varieties that wilWRature quickly and at the same time have size in view as well. MAY KING IS ONE OF THE FINEST of all varieties of head lettuce, whether grown in the open or under glass. Probably it is better known as an outdoor lettuce than for forcing, although it is equally as good in the forcing house, which is a high recommendation for it. It produces heads of good size, solid and crisp, and abov e all it is a quick one to mature. May's Icelandic Cucumber FOR beauty, symmetry of shape and flavor, May's Icelandic surpasses all other varieties of early cucumbers, b^th for forcing and garden culture. The vine ia hardy, vigorous, prolific, bearing well from the beginning of the season until frost. Vha cuomiber is very long, thick through* has f.nely grained, firm crisp flesh and few 'seeds._ As a'-^alable article it commands the highest price on account of its excellent appear- ance, and as a home product it is deliciously cool atid refreshing on the home table. We cannot commend it too highly to market gardeners and others who are looking for the highest mark of excellence in their products. Packet 10c, ounce 15c, J4 pound 35c, 1 pound $1.00. May's Superior Quality MAY'S Northern Grown Seeds United States Food Administration License No. G. 26592 19 18 What it means to all of us-- To the Market Gardener and the Farmer: IT MEANS THAT YOUR EFFORTS ARE ITECESSARY to raise all you can to supply the demand of your country and of Europe. IT MEANS THAT THIS YEAR you will get a higher price for your • products than ever before. ' ' IT MEANS THAT THIS YEAR you must redouble your efforts to produce bumper crops. It means' that you must utilize every inch of ground, that you must have CROP INSURANCE; in other words, that you must plant seed of the highest possible germinative quality; stock that, so far as possible, is guaranteed to be of highest germinative test. To the Householder: It that your patriotic duty this year is to have a garden i^^jack yard. It that every spare foot of ground, every spare hour of time must go to the production of foodstuffs to make us a self sustaining nation. "Food will win the war"--supply all you can of it. Reduce the high cost of living generally, and cut your own expenses in half. To the Seedsmen and Growers: It means one of the biggest years in history; the biggest demand for seeds and nursery stock ever known in this country. It means the practical impossibility of procuring seeds of Euro- pean origin and it means the difficulty of securing enough stock of American growth to supply the demand, hence it has meant the increasing of prices generally and the holding good of those prices only as long as these stocks last. To Us: It means that for thirty-eight years the name of L. L. May & ■ , Company has been the standard of quality in seed and nursery stock throughout these United States and that this year we shall as always live up to our reputation. We are only of fering.' those varieties which our years' experience has taught us are' the most necessary and successful for all planting, and that while we*- have been compelled, owing to the extreme difficulty of obtaining ;•' ■' to raise prices, we feel that the results this year will raorj than overbalance the small increase in the price of stc Yours very- truly.

We thoroughly tested it, propagated to find an apple that would be as delicious and abundant as the apples of wanner climates, hardy enough to live through the rigors of winters of the most extreme Northwest . After much experimenting the Minnetonka proved to be this. It will yield when all other varieties fail. Friut very large, bright red, matures full and evenly, clinging to the tree until late in the season. Keeps two months longer than the Wealthy.

We guarantee a bushel of fruit from every tree. a, May's New, Everbearing Strawberries ALTHOUGH these came to us highly recommended we wished to try them thoroughly before offering them to ovir customers. We have done this at our Mayfield Nurseries and proved them to be a revolutionizing factor in berry growing. They not only bear all summer long from June to November but are of excellent quality, much sweeter than the standard varieties we have been growing for years, and are larger and more luscious. The plants are very hardy; even when left uncovered they come through the winter in good condition, though we do not advise taking this risk generally. If the berries are formed in the fall they will not be harmed by a severe freeze up but will con- tinue to ripen. Indeed a crop of crimson berries has been harvested after the first snow fall. Think what this means to the berry planter: Full crops when prices soar as high as 75 cents per quart. It also means an earlier crop in the spring for the everbearing strawberries afford good picking a week before the first early varieties of the standard sorts and to the man with the new strawberry bed it means a full crop of berries a few weeks after planting. The foliage of the everbearing varieties icarcely showed a rusted leaf while other varieties planted nearby were badly rusted, and as all growers know, healthy foliage means capacity for heavy fruiting; in addition it is a splendid plant maker, not too much so, but a maker of what would be called ideal matted rows. We feel that an acre of these will mean hundreds of dollars to the planter the first season, i. e., the season of planting. Prices of Everbearing plants as follows: By mail, postpaid, dozen, 75c, 100 for $5.00; by express, 100 for $4.25, 1,000 for $30.00. Prices for larger quantities qvioted on application. 0 z (D PI s PI 0 Me\\? Everbearing Raspberr? SAINT REGIS Tested at our Mayfield Nurseries, it was found to yield heavily by June 20, from plants planted in early April of the same year. The yield con- tinued without intermission until the middle of October, the berries being very large, beautiful, I firm and delicious. By the second season it is ;the earliest of all Raspberries, and its first crop lis greater than that of any other Variety known. !The fruit crop continues all summer and con- tinues fruiting on the old canes until late in Auifust, when the young canes take up the work iana ftroduce berries until severe frost. It is labsolutcly hardy, succeeds on any soil, never sufTers from sunburn or scald, and the berries [will bear shipping 200 miles and keep irt perfect icondition for several days after this. i'rices: By mail, postpaid, each 10c, 6 for 50c.
