Important Announcement.
To the patrons of the EASTMAN SEED CO.:—
Having two years ago accepted the Oxford County agency of the
Union Mutual Life Insurance Co., and wishing to devote my time more
extensively to that business, I take pleasure in announcing that our
mail order business will be continued by the
Pine Tree State Seed Co., Bath, Maine.
who will act as selling agents for our exclusive specialties, and carry
a full line of general seed supplies.
I shali, however, continue to
grow the leading specialties our house has put out, and endeavor to
maintain the high standard of the ‘‘Eastman grown” stock.
I take this opportunity to thank our customers of the past
twenty-five years for their generous patronage, and bespeak for our
successors a continuance of the same.
Yours for good seeds,
WELLINGTON H. EASTMAN.
Eastman’s Specialties. For 1o1o.
Bright and Early Tomato.
Of the novelties we have introduced dur-
ing the past twenty-five years, the greatest
favorites have beenthe ones in which ex-
treme earliness is one of the leading char-
acteristics. Eastman’s Early Sweet Corn,
the Lightning Bean and the Granite State
Musk Melon stand in evidence as striking
examples, the demand for each increasing
each year. The Bright and Early Tomato
is no exception. Weconsider it the best
combination of earliness, yield and quality
yet attained in this vegetable, and where
best known is the leading early tomato for
home use and for early market. We have
repeatedly tried it in comparison with the
leading early varieties, and the BRIGHT
AND EARLY has invariably been first to ri-
pen. Extensive tests elsewhere point in
the same direction. One market gardener
reports that with him it was fully two weeks
ahead of any other variety, over fifty kinds
being tested. The form of the BRIGHT AND
EARLY is nearly round, somewhat flattened
with smooth surface, free from irregulari-
ties. Color is a deep, handsome red, very
uniform in shade. Theskin is firm and
free from cracks, the flesh solid and of
finest favor. While some large specimens
are produced, the average size is slightly
below medium. But whatever is lacking in
size of the individual fruit is more than
made up in the immense clusters in which
they are bourne. In ordinary field culture
on an extensive scale they have yielded
with us at the rate of over five hundred
bushels of ripe fruit to the acre. Best re-

BRIGHT AND EARLY, EXTRA SELECTED
From our field of seed tomatos, we each sea-
son pick at the rate of four or five bushels
to the acre of earliest ripe fruit, the seeds
of which should give a little better results
in earliness than the general run of the crop.

Eastman’s Early Sweet Corn still holds the lead in earliness. Although every few
years some new variety is offered that is claimed to be from a week to ten days ahead of
anything else, when tested on our trial grounds they are invariably outstripped by East-
man’s Early planted alongside. It is the finest flavored of the extra early varieties, and
outyields every other early kind we have ever tested, two good ears on a stalk being com-
mon when it is given plenty of room. It has white kernels and a pure white cob. during
all the years our customers have planted it we do not recall a single unfavorable report,
and the demand for it steadily increases. Our sales of Eastman’s Early exceed that of al]
other varieties of sweet corn combined.
Per quart 45 cts. (30 cts. by express); pint 25 cts; pkt. 5 cts.
Eastman’s Early, Extra Selected. It has always been our practice to go
through our field of Eastman’s Early each year and select the first and best ears for our
own seed stock, thereby perpetuating and accentuating its leading characteristic of super-
lative earlinesss. The past few seasons we have made a little more thorough selection and
harvest of the first-fruits, and offer at a slight advance in price to such of our cus-
tomers as prefer to pay a little more for the probable gain of a few days in time of matur-
ity. Per qt. 55 cts. (40 cts. by express); pint 30 cts.; pkt. 10 cts.

It is a SWEET corn, also a heavy cropper, 3 to

every thing known in the sweet corn line for
comparison, EASTMAN’S EARLY led all other
varieties in earliness.
Eastman’s Ideal Sweet Corn.
Several years ago we started to originate a sweet corn to follow Eastman’s Early. We
desired something to be ready for the table as soon as that variety was past its prime,
and to surpass it in every point except earliness. After repeated trials we attained the
points sought for, and first offered our new creation in 1909, under the name of EASTMAN’S
IpEAL. The IDEAL closely follows Eastman’s Early in point of maturity, possesses the
sweetness of the Crosby, and is more prolific than either. The ears are twelve to sixteen
rowed, of good Size, and all that can be desired for quality. We predict for it a leading
place as a market ‘variety.

Purity Cucumber.
Starting with one of the tender foreign varieties of white cucumber, we spent sev_
eral years in improving and acclimating it until in 1900 we offered it under the name of
Puriry. While pre-eminently an exhibition variety, it is in its early stages ynsurpassed
for the table, crisp, tender, of the mildest flavor, which we have never known to be:
tainted with the slightest hint of bitterness. We do not recommend it, however, for
a general crop, but for limited family use and exhibition purposes. It is now
thoroughly Americanized, and may be depended on under ordinary conditions to pro~
duce a crop of the fairest and purest cucumbers imaginable, many specimens from two
feet upwards in length. No variety equals it for ripe cucumber sweet pickles. It has
but few seeds, consequently must always be higher priced than the common sorts.

trial this year, but nothing proved as early as
yours. ; (Rev.) J. R. Lawrence.
Lightning Bean.
This earliest of all beans has proved one of our most satisfactory introductions. Side
by side with other extra early varieties on our trial grounds, it has exceeded them in ear-
liness in every instance. While not quite equaling Jack’s fabulous bean stalk of the fairy
tale, that grew up and blossomed in a night, it still needs to be closely watched when the
beans begin to form, as a very few days from the blossom will give pods suitable for
string beans. At this stage of their growth they are very tender and of rich flavor. But
they keep right on growing, and in a few days more the pods have toughened and not long
after they are fit for shelling. It exactly resembles the old Fegee in appearance, but with
us it has come into bearing fully two weeks ahead of that variety.

It is of the “rice” or “squirrel tooth” type, and the colors, golden yellow and tat-
too black, are insuch marked contrast as everywhere to attract attention.

Farmer’s Friend Potato.
This variety was originally introduced by
us as the “Nameless,” and received its pre-
sent name by vote of our customers. The
SEE ee
ten points of excellence claimed for it, were
(1) extreme earliness, (2) vigor of growth,
(3) ability to withstand disease, (4) pro-
ductiveness, (5) uniformity of size and.small
proportion of undersize, (6) fine shape—
nearly globular, (7) beauty of color—pure
white with little splashes of red, especially
about the eyes, (8) superior table quality
zither baked or boiled, (9) long-keeping
characteristics, and (10) the best combina-
tion of the above points, making itan A +
all-round potato.
It is sufficient to say that every claim was
substantiated by the experience of our cus-
tomers. From a single tuber one customer
reports ten meals of fine potatoes for a fam-
ily of three and a peck for seed. Another
with ordinary culture raised 1 3-4 bushels
from one pound of seed, with hardly a_ sin-
gle small potato in the lot, and so on. On
our own grounds they out-yielded the Green
Mountain planted alongside and receiving
the same culture, and while the latter rust-
ed and rotted badly (neither were sprayed)
this variety was nearly exempt.
Mr. Willis G. Jones of Connecticut, at
whose suggestion Farmer’s Friend was giv-
en a place among the names from which the
final selection was made, writes:
Your Nameless Potato is all you claim
forit. I planted eleven kinds in one row.
Nine of them rotted badly. yours and one
other did not rot at all. What the farmers
want now is around white or netted potato
to take the place of the red Stray Beauty.
Round Potatoes take the place of long ones
in my market. The “Nameless” fills the place
that is why I named it FARMER’S FRIEND.

seed in the market, but it is believed to be as good as the best; as pure, as fresh, of as high a
grade, and as true to name as any.
There is no economy in buying cheap, inferior seed. We have carefully revised prices for
our new Catalogue, and believe the figures will compare favorably with those of other dealers
when quality is taken into account.
We do not put out anything but what we would be willing to plant ourselves.
We are now ready to again serve you with the largest and choicest stocks of seeds we havé
ever had. Should you favor us with an order large! or small, the same will be greatly appre-
ciated and receive our prompt attention.
To Our Old We hope we may have another order from you this season. We appre-
Customers ciated your order last year and tried our best to please you. The old cus-
tomers are the backbone of the business, but of course, we are always glad to get an order
from a new one. We will look for another order from you and we want you to speak a good
word for us to vour neighbors if you get a chance.
Why not get your jour neighbors and friends will all have to have some seeds,
Seeds Free? and we can offer them a better deal than they can get any-
where else. Big packages, good, honest seeds and fair dealing. We have a number of custom-
ers who make a good thing taking orders for our seeds among their neighbors.
Try and get up a club, we will send you some extra catalogues and order blanks free. It
will not cost you a cent to try anyway. If you don’t get any orders no one is out anything but
us and we will take a chance on it.
We will wrap each order separately and properly label them and will include lots of free
packets.
When the seeds arrive, if everything is not just as we told you, you can have your money
back. Ask the Bath National Bank of this city if we will stick to what we say. Write today
for our terms. We will pay you a liberal cash commission to act as our agent.
Seeds for Gardens for children are being established in many cities and
School Gardens iowns as a part of the school curriculum. Children acquire more
generai knowledge of value in doing things than they could get from book study alone. To al-
low a child to grow up without planting a seed or rearing a plant is a crime against civilized
society.
We hope in a few years to see an hour’s garden work several times a week given to every
child in the primary grades in all schools. We will be glad to correspond with teachers or oth-
ers who desire to purchase seeds for this purpose. We will make special low rates on all kinds
of seeds that are to be used for this purpose.

Commenced using the last of June and they
held good until the last half of August. I con-

A REMARKABLE CROP OF PEAS.
Richmond, Maine, Dec. 4, 1909.
Mr. Kimball,
Dear Sir:
You requested me to give you my success with
the peck of Notts Excelsior Peas that you
shipped me the first of July. Will say that I
planted them the 6th day of July, the 26th of
August we had our first mess of peas from them.
We had all the peas we wanted until the first
of October. We had 8 in the family all of the
time. We canned 50 quarts. It was so dry I
didn’t expect they would do very much but I
never had a piece of peas pod better or hold
| green longer. I think they are the very best
| pea to plant for a late pea that I ever tried.
The vines are small they are almost proof
against mildew, which will spoil all rank grow-
ing peas that I ever tried.
| Mode of Cultivation.
| I planted them on land that was planted last
| year and dressed. I planted with King of Corn
Field Planter, rows 30 inches apart drilled quite
thick with liberal dose of Sagadahoc Corn Fer-
tilizer, then kept the ground loose and weeds
out.

HOUSE AND THE GARDEN
The surroundings of the house are
as important as the interior for
comfort and beauty, and HOUSE
& GARDEN deals adequately with
this delightful side of country
living. Its treatment of the sub-
ject is essentially practical, is of
interest alike to the beginner or
advanced gardener and for the
small plot as well as for the
large estate. It covers every
phase of the subject from win-
dow-boxes to landscaping: The
vegetable garden, the flower garden,
the fruit garden, bulbs, shrubs,
trees, hardy flowers, hedges, vines
and trailers, the lawn, the water
garden, the rock garden, hotbeds, coldframes,
the greenhouse, fertilizers, insecticides and
the thousand and one things that demand the
interest and attention of every garden-maker.
There is even a Beginner’s Department which
deals with first principles from which the most
inexperienced can work,

To our Customers:
We are so impressed with the February issue of
The Garden Magazine which we have just finished reading,
that we would like to devise a plan that would make all ‘
of our customers subscribe to it. ;
This magazine has been good from the beginning
and is getting better all the time, Today it is by far
the hest gardening periodical in the world and worth é
much more than a dollar to the owner of the smallest or
largest garden, oe
Our recommendation should induce every one of :
our customers to subscribe, but it won't, so we have 5
persuaded our company to make the following offer: =a
Every customer who sends an order for $2, may
add a subscription to The Garden Magazine for six months i
or for $4 orders a subscription for one year.
The customer who receives The Garden Magazine
will. be a better one - easier to do business with, bee oi |
causo he will get better results. So it is plain that ee
we do not make this offer for philanthropic purposes.
The illustrations are alone worth the price =
a delight and an education. Articles on cultural die
rections are real directions, written by real gardeners
who know how to write.
Perhaps you are not going to send us an order
this year, If not, write your name and address on the
margin of this sheet and send it with the dollar, direct
to Doubleday, Page & Company, 137 East 16th Street, New
York, We are sure you will thank us for the suggestion
before another season passes,
Yours very truly,
