Our Seventieth Anniversary
Seventieth Year of Seed Service
Quality Always
IN OFFERING this 70th annual edition of our catalog to our many
friends, it is with a feeling of thankfulness for the patronage ex¬
tended to us during the years which have passed. The increasing
support which we have received convinces us that
ABSOLUTE RELIABILITY
AND HIGH QUALITY ARE PARAMOUNT
It has been our aim to insure our customers. To sow only the best
seeds obtainable. The initial cost of seeds is comparatively small; the
labor to produce a crop is continuous, and the time taken for it to grow is
so long, that in seeds high quality is the only consideration.
Confidence
There is no other commodity in the world sold so much on confidence
as are seeds. Confidence that they will grow and confidence that they will
produce the crop you expect.
Therefore we earnestly solicit your confidence and patronage.

Eaton’s Flower Seed Novelties
and Specialties
Antirrhinum, or Snapdragon
New Giant-Flowered Half-high Varieties
Each year we are greeted with numerous new varieties of this beau¬
tiful flower. Specialists vie with one another to produce finer strains.
We have given trial to many of the recent introductions and find the
following six varieties of excellent merit. The plants attain a height
of 1 to feet, and the color, as well as the formation of the flower
spikes is excellent.
Climax. Orange, shading to yellow at the lip.
Empress. Rich velvety crimson.
Fascination. Pearly pinkself.
Gloria, Rich deep rose.
Golden Queen. Clear yellow.
Prima Donna. Even shade of terra cotta pink.

blue flowers from July until frost. Pkt. 25c.
NEW DOUBLE COSMOS
Some years ago. when we first offered in our Novel¬
ties and Specialties this splendid new form of Cosmos
• f Australian origin, we considered it a notable addi¬
tion to this beautiful family of easily-grown annuals
for cutting. We are pleased to announce, however, that,
due to painstaking effort on the part of an American
grower, this strain has been further improved upon,
in size of flower, greater degree of doubleness, and gen¬
eral vigor of the plant. Many of the flowers are en¬
tirely double, while others have an attractive collar
which rather adds, we think, to its beauty.
We offer three distinct colors, as well as a mixture
of all three.
Double Pink. Beautiful rose-pink.
Double White. Pure glistening white.
Double Crimson. Rich rose-crimson.
Double Mixed. Mixture of all three.

A cf One the very best an-
xYo Ivl O nuals for cut flowers
The aster will thrive in any soil, from a light sand
to a heavy clay. It produces a profusion of bloom, and
as a cut flower it rivals the chrysanthemum in lasting
properties and lovely coloring.
Cover the seed with half inch of soil. If the soil is
too poor, add some well-rotted stable manure or pul¬
verized sheep manure, mixing thoroughly. Do not apply
too liberally, or they may cause aster diseases.
Seed sown in the open ground in May will produce
plants that will bloom finely in September and October.
When the plants have three or four leaves, transplant,
1 to 1% feet apart each way, into well-prepared beds.
Never allow a crust to form, as it prevents the air from
entering the soil and allows the moisture to escape rap¬
idly. If watering is necessary, give the plants a good
soaking — do not merely sprinkle them.
For July end August flowers, sow in March or April
in the coldframe, spent hotbed, or in pots and boxes
indoors. Water thoroughly when necessary, and allow
surface to become dry before watering again. Trans¬
plant as directed above.

Sweet Peas
It is well known that, in order to have largest blooms
of sweet peas, seed must be planted early so as to
make the greatest root development during early spring ;
many professional gardeners sow in pots and trans¬
plant in April, or sow the previous Fall.
Sow seed as soon as the ground can be worked in
the Spring. Dig a trench about a foot wide and deep,
and fill in with 6 inches of well-rotted stable manure;
tread down firmly and replace the good garden soil.
Draw a single straight line in the middle of the pre¬
pared surface, about 3/4 in. deep ; sow seed at even dis¬
tances of about 3 inches and cover. When the plants
grow about 3 or 4 inches high, thin out, leaving the
plants 6 inches from each other. (Experts who raise
for exhibition thin out to 1 foot.)
The cutworm is one of the greatest enemies of sweet
peas, attacking the young shoots just as they come up.
At the first appearance of this pest, a good sprinkling
of lime over the row sometimes helps to exterminate it.
As soon as the vines reach a height of about 8 inches,
proper trellis or other supports should be provided.
The sweet pea is a moisture-loving plant, and by the
month of May the plants will require water. In order
that the water may be retained by the soil and get to
the roots, as well as to keep them cool, it is advisable
to use a mulch of old stable manure and soak well with
hose each or every other day, as needed.

ZINNIAS
The zinnia has. perhaps, gained more steadily in
popularity than any of our annuals because of the in¬
terest taken in it by plant breeders who have tried
to excel one another in improving existing forms and
bringing new ones each year to the attention of the
flower lover. We are offering, in the novelty section of j
our catalog, some of the newer forms which will soon,
we feel sure, become popular in your gardens. Few, if
any, of the annuals have greater utility value. In the
mixed border they may be had in bloom from early
Summer until cut down by frost, and they are splendid
also when used as a cut flower for house decoration. In |
order to get best results, seed should be sown either in¬
doors in a sunny window and the plants transplanted
to the garden early in May, or started outdoors and
plants transplanted later. Leave at least 2 feet be¬
tween plants as they are robust growers and need suf¬
ficient space to attain maximum development.

About Lawns and Lawn Grass Seed
Formation of Lawns From Seed
There is nothing more attractive than a well-kept f
lawn.
Many things are to be considered in connection with
the making and proper care of lawns. A good lawn
cannot be made in one season, success coming only
through intelligent care of a period of years.
The ground should be thoroughly drained and well
prepared. The soil ought not to be too rich, as a rapid
growth is not wanted in the grasses of a lawn, but the
surface should be as much alike in quality as possible
and thoroughly pulverized. After sowing, the ground
should be rolled and cross-rolled in order to press the
seed firmly into the soil; and ten days or so thereafter
a light application of Eaton’s Complete Fertilizer, mixed
with an equal quantity of good loam or sand, will serve I
to stimulate the growth of the young grasses. The
proper time to sow grass seed depends, of course, upon
the latitude, in the central and eastern states from
March 15 to the middle of May is the best time; but
in favorable seasons the sowing may be done up to July
1. Seed may also be sown in the Fall, from the latter
part of August to the end of September. The sowing
should be done when the ground is moist, or before an
expected rain, and a subsequent rolling is always ad¬
visable. As to weeds in newly-made lawns, it may not
be generally known that many weed seeds actually lie
dormant in the ground for six or seven years, and will
germinate and make their appearance when the soil is
turned up. The annual wild grasses, such as crab
grass or summer grass, must be pulled up by the roots
before they ripen their seed in the Fall.

Eaton’s 1929 Vegetable Novelties
MARGLOBE TOMATO
Marglobe was primarily bred to produce a wilt-resistant, globe-
shaped red Tomato. The results have exceeded expectations. It
is hardy, wilt resistant and appears to be destined to command a
leading place in districts where wilt is prevalent. In addition
it undoubtedly will prove equally desirable wherever a red To¬
mato of superior quality is desired. It is a midseason variety,
ripening its first fruits in from 90 to 95 days.
The plant is vigorous without being spreading or coarse, with
a strong, hardy stalk and abundant foliage. The foliage is me¬
dium dark green, slightly crimped or savoyed and furnishes ade¬
quate cover for the fruits without too much shade. The plant
produces fruit abundantly, the heaviest setting being in the cen¬
ter of the plant.
The fruits are quite large, averaging 7 y2 ozs. in weight, and
are nearly perfect, globe-shaped, with but little depression at
the stem end. They show very little tendency to crack but ripen
up perfectly. They are a deep scarlet in color and presents a
very attractive appearance. The flesh is firm, thick, of first qual¬
ity. and is only mildly acid. This is a superior sort for table use
and a very desirable canning Tomato.

EARLY WONDER BEET
A variety which has gained wide popularity among market
gardeners, and one which the amateur may also grow with every
confidence. It may be sown early and it matures very rapidly.
It is so uniform in growth that the crop can be lifted practically
at one time, yielding the land early and quickly for the second
crop. The root is nearly globular in shape, slightly flattened.
The leaves are of medium size, and the color of the flesh is deep
blood-red.
GOLDEN PLUME
CELERY
Golden Plume celery fills a want that
both amateur and professional garden¬
ers have long felt. It is a much im¬

Soil for cabbage should be rich and heavy loam, with
good drainage. On such soil, with an abundance of
stable or Eaton’s Complete Fertilizer, excellent crops
are sure to be grown. For early Spring, sow in Fall, not
too early, for the plants are liable to bolt in the Spring
instead of heading. In a month the plants will be fit
to transplant to cold frames, where they are wintered,
taking care in planting to set the young plants down
to the first leaves. For late or Winter crop, the seed is
sown in May, and the plants set out in July. In this
case, they are set in rows 2 by 3 feet, so as to work
them with a horse and cultivator.

where the plants are to remain in rows 2*4 feet apart,
thinning to 1 foot apart in the row. In all our ex¬
perience we have never known of a novelty which has
taken greater strides in popularity than the Chinese
cabbage. It is now commonly seen on the markets and
has met with a great success. It is very easily grown
and takes very little space, both points of first im¬
portance.

the cabbage family and closely resembles a well-
grown Cos lettuce, but is heavier. The light green,

plant the dwarf varieties 5 feet and the taller sorts 4 feet be¬
tween rows ; plant 6 inches apart in the row. Cultivate well, and

for all purposes. As it remains green a long time, two plantings will extend the season.
Pkt. 10c ; lb. 40c ; 2 lbs. 75c ; 5 lbs. $1.50.

High Grade Reliable Fertilizers
Floranid. A highly concentrated organic nitrogen fer¬
tilizer. Floranid is the most highly concentrated ni¬
trogen fertilizer, containing 46 per cent available ni¬
trogen (equivalent to 55% per cent ammonia). No
other fertilizing material contains anything like as
high a percentage. Nitrogen is one of the principal
constituents of plant-food. It is the one that is first
to affect the plants, producing quick and vigorous
growth. Nearly all soils are deficient in nitrogen.
Floranid is a powerful plant-builder and plant-food.
Vegetables and berries, when fertilized with Floranid,
will be more abundant and of better size, color and
flavor. Flowers will be richer in color, larger, more
prolific and more fragrant. Lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.00;
