HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Golden Bantam 
Corn 
Warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn, but a satis¬ 
factory 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 y 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 to 5 inches tall, 
thin from 8 to 12 inches apart and keep well hoed until the ears are set.

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¬

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.
