HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Golden Bantam 
Corn 
Warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn, but a sat¬ 
isfactory crop can be grown in any garden if the soil is deeply and thoroughly 
worked before planting. Sweet corn seed is likely to rot if planted in cold 
weather, so planting should be governed by this fact. Seeds may be planted 
either in rows or hills. If planted in rows, they should be spaced from 2 V 2 to 
4 feet apart, depending on the height of the variety; seeds should be dropped at 
the rate of 5 or 6 to the foot, and covered about 2 inches deep. If planting in 
hills, drop 5 or 6 seeds per hill and space the hills 3 feet apart each way. When 
plants are 4 or 5 inches tall, thin from 8 to 12 inches apart and keep well hoed 
until the ears are set.

tam. Although not quite so early as Sunshine it is of

shallow drills about 1 foot apart, covering with 
about H inch of fine soil firmly pressed down.

with straw. The plants will also do well if the 
seed is sown on very rich soil. The seed we offer 
is extra cleaned. Pkt., 10c, postpaid. 
Chinese Cabbage 
This is not a true cabbage and is often called 
Celery Cabbage because in shape the heads re¬ 
semble celery. The leaves are more like those 
of turnip in color and texture. The flavor is dis¬ 
tinct, and in the raw state is considered superior 
to cabbage. It combines the qualities of both 
celery and cabbage and is highly prized as a salad 
vegetable. Plant seed out of doors at the same 
time as turnip. Thin to 12 to 16 inches apart in 
the rows. If planted too early, this species will 
“bolt” during hot weather and fail to form heads.

becomes 18 to 20 inches tall, 3 34 to 4 inches 
thick, tapered near tip, firm, well blanched, crisp,
