HAMILTON'S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Lobelia 
Handsome border plants, thriving” in 
any ordinary garden soil, but preferring 
a moist, deep loam. 
Cardinally (Cardinal Flower). 2 ft. July- 
Oct. Tufts of bronzy green foliage from 
which arise spikes of brilliant fiery scar¬ 
let flowers. Pkt., 25c. 
Primula (Primrose) 
These hardy Primroses are among our 
most delightful spring flowers. They re¬ 
quire a partially shaded location and are 
fine for a rock garden. Single fringed, 
25c per pkt. Double fringed, 50c per pkt. 
Statice—Sea Lavender 
Salvia (Flowering Sage) 
Showy, hardy plants of medium growth and of easy cultivation in sunny borders. 
The flowers are borne in spikes, racemes, or panicles, and very attractive during the 
summer months. Pkt., 15c to 25c. 
Scabiosa (Pincushion) 
Deipmmuw—Perennial Larkspur 
Gaillardia 
June to October. 2 ft. Their 
long-flowering period, long 
stems and bright colors make 
these one of the most valua¬ 
ble of perennials, being eas¬ 
ily grown in beds or borders 
in ordinary garden soil. One 
of the perennials which will 
flower the first year if sown 
early. 
Grandiflora. Mixed. Com¬ 
posite flowers, variegated 
with shades of red and yel¬ 
low. Pkt., 10c. 
Gypsophila 
Graceful border and rock plants with 
small flowers on light stems. Greatly 
prized for cutting. Do not disturb 
after once established. 
Baby’s Breath. 2-3 ft. July-Aug. 
Small single flowers on branched stems, 
so thick as to give the plant a white 
lace-like effect. Pkt., 10c. 
To those persons who are familiar with the annual sorts of Scabiosa, we need only 
say the perennials resemble the annuals except that the perennials have shorter florets 
at the center. 
Columbaria Delicate Pink. Flowers measure 2 in. across—very freely produced of a 
beautiful shape somewhat smaller than Scabiosa Caucasica, of a deep rosy mauve 
almost a rose. Deeply laciniated foliage. Pkt., 15c. 
Large Flowered Double (Morning Bride). Blue, yellow, white, rose and mixed. 
Each, 10c per pkt. 
Statice 
(Sea Lavender) 
They are stemless, the leaves springing direct from the 
root stock and the flower stems are more or less 
twiggy, bearing their small flowers in much- 
branched panicles. The flowers are useful for 
drying for winter use. They belong to the Thrift 
order. 
Sinnata. Blue, rose, white and mixed. 
Each 10c per pkt. 
HOLLYHOCK. Almost every 
garden or door-yard has a place for 
stately Hollyhocks. A tall group 
among shrubs or evergreens, a row 
lining a garden wall or fence or 
with a white cottage as a back¬ 
ground, may easily produce an ef¬ 
fect for an artist to paint. The 
dignified stalks provided with many 
large green leaves are richly 
adorned with flowers near the top. 
Triumph Mixed. Newest and 
earliest of Hollyhocks. Flowers 
semi-double like Allegheny; dwarf 
in height, but more branching than 
other dwarf types; wide range of 
pastel shades. Pkt., 10c. 
KUDZU VINE (Pueraria Thun- 
bergian a. Jack-and-the-Bean- 
Stalk). This great vine will attain a height of 8 
to 10 feet the first season. When once established, 
it may grow from 40 to 50 feet in a season. The 
large, bright green leaves afford excellent shade, 
and the climber is further embellished with small clusters 
of rosy pea-shaped flowers. It will thrive in the poorest 
soil. Pkt., 10c. 
LANTANA. 2 ft. A Brazilian shrub that makes a splen¬ 
did display the first season from seed. Above the large som¬ 
ber green leaves Verbena-like clusters of fragrant flowers rise 
in prolonged succession. In a single cluster all the shades 
of crimson, rose, yellow, and orange appear. 
Gaillardia 
Gypsophila—Baby’s Breath 
Hybrida Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
MYOSOTIS (Forget-me-not). 8 in. While 
this charming spring flower will grow in the 
open border, there is some partially shaded 
damp spot in almost every garden where it will 
flourish and be a joy. The Alpine variety 
which we offer is of rather spreading habit with 
velvety leaves, above which rise the pretty 
floral clusters of dainty five-petaled blossoms. 
The flowers, a clear Wedgwood blue with tiny 
yellowish eyes, are borne in profusion. Start 
early for flowers the first season or sow in 
summer for blooms the following spring. 
Alpestris Blue. Pkt., 10c:. 
PHYSALIS (Chinese Lantern). 18 in. sug¬ 
gestive of the Orient are the orange red colors 
of this Japanese plant. The flaming lanterns 
are unique in form. Ranged as they are along 
stiff stems they are effective for winter decora¬ 
tion in the house. Either with silvery Lunaria 
or with perennial Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila 
paniculata), they are of special beauty. Pods 
do not usually develop until the second year, 
but the small yellow and brown flowers are un¬ 
obtrusively pleasing, and Physalis is a valuable 
addition to any perennial border. The plants 
grow easily from seed and tend to self-sow. 
Francheti. Pkt., 10c.
