HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Pumpkin 
Pumpkins are typically American, and pumpkin 
pie is one of our truly American dishes. They are 
less sensitive to unfavorable conditions of soil and 
weather than melons or cucumbers, but they are 
cultivated in about the same way. 
LARGE YELLOW or 
CONNECTICUT 
FIELD. This sort is 
grown largely in the 
corn field for stock, but 
the flesh is moderately 
fine grained, highly 
flavored, and very good 
for pies. The plants 
are exceedingly strong 
and productive. The 
fruits weigh about 20 
pounds and are a rich 
deep orange-yellow 
color. Fkt., 5c} oz., 10c;

GREEN STRIPED 
C U S H A W . A very 
large sort popular in 
the South. The crook- 
necked pumpkins are 
18 to 20 inches long, weigh 10 to 15 pounds, and 
swell at the blossom end to a bulb shape. The color 
is creamy-white striped with green. The flesh is 
light yellow, very thick, rather coarse but sweet.

12 to 18 inches apart, and when up about an inch 
thin to 1 or 2 inches apart. Radishes are at their 
best when growth is quick and steady. A moderate 
temperature and constant moisture are favorable 
for best results. Most varieties become pithy soon 
after reaching fulT size. In order to keep a con¬ 
tinuous supply, successive plantings should be made. 
HAWKEYE SCARLET GLOBE. The bright car- 
mine-red color, perfect oval shape, threadlike tap¬ 
root, and ideal size combine to make this the most 
desirable of early table radishes. Until they are 
nearly an inch in diameter, the flesh is crisp and 
mild. They will reach this size in 25 to 30 days and 
are at their best when not quite full grown. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 25c; y 2 lb., 35c; lb., 65c, postpaid. 
SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED. These 
radishes taste as good as they look, and they are 
undoubtedly one of the most popular of the early 
turnip-shaped varieties for home gardens. The 
upper part of the root is rich crimson-red, and the 
lower part is snow white, making an attractive 
combination. The roots grow to 1% inches in diam¬ 
eter without becoming pithy. Pkt., 5c; oz*, 10c; 
^4 lb., 25c; y 2 lb., 40c; lb., 75c, postpaid.

crisp, and of splendid quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
Va lb., 25c; % lb., 40c; lb., 75c, postpaid* 
CRIMSON GIANT. The home gardener who de¬ 
sires a radish of more than two bites will find this 
to his liking. The crimson roots are the largest of 
the early round radishes. They do not become fully 
grown until nearly 2 inches in diameter, but are 
very good while much smaller. The flesh is as 
crisp and mild as any of the smaller varieties, and 
they remain in perfect condition for several days. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; >4 lb., 25c; y 2 lb., 40c; lb., 75c, 
postpaid. 
ICICLE. Clear white roots which grow to a 
length of 6 inches with a third of their length out 
of the ground are delicately tinted with ivory at the 
tops. They are undoubtedly the most crisp and ten¬ 
der of all table radishes and are especially mild. 
This variety has been a home garden favorite for 
many years. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10 c; % lb., 25c; % lb., 40c; 
lb., 75c, postpaid. 
Large Yellow Connecticut or 
Big Tom 
Radish 
The culture of radishes is so easy and the results 
so sure that they are probably found in more home 
gardens than any other vegetable. The varieties of 
radish differ so distinctly that the home gardener 
is able to obtain almost anything he prefers in the 
way of shape, color, size, and season. 
The ground for growing radishes should be finely 
prepared and as free as possible of small stones 
and lumps. Plant seed about y 2 inch deep in rows
