HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
CARROTS 
Carrots require about the same simple care as 
beets, they have no serious insect enemies, and 
they are rarely attacked by disease. Since freshly 
manured soil often causes divided roots, it is best 
to plant them in soil that has been richly fertilized 
the previous season. Plant the seed one-half inch 
deep in loose, well prepared soil, making” rows 16 
to 24 inches apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants 
are well established and thin to 2 or 4 inches in 
the row according to the size of the variety. Plant¬ 
ings may be made from early spring until mid- 
June. For winter storage the later date is ad¬ 
visable. One ounce for 100 ft. of row, 4 lbs. per acre. 
CHANTENAY. 70 days. A splendid carrot; 
extensively grown for winter storage. Heavy 
yielder. Roots deep reddish-orange; become 5*4

CHANTENAY 
CELERY 
A row of celery in the home garden will supply 
a family with this delicious vegetable 
until late in the fall. Its hardiness and

weather conditions make it a very de¬ 
sirable crop to grow. One ounce of 
seed will produce about 5,000 plants.

CAULIFLOWER 
Until lately cauli¬ 
flower has been con- 
si d e r e d hard to 
grow. However, the 
same methods that 
produce good cab¬ 
bage will grow 
good cauliflower. 
The only great dif¬ 
ference is that cau¬ 
liflower heads must 
be protected from 
sun light so as to 
make sure of the de¬ 
sirable white curd. 
This is most easily 
accomplished by Early Snowball Cauliflower 
gathering the tops 
of the leaves together loosely as soon as the heads 
begin to form. In shutting off the light, it is im¬ 
portant not to cramp the heads. One ounce of seed 
will produce about 2,000 plants. 
EARLY SNOWBALL. 52 days. The 
best for greenhouse forcing, early mar¬ 
ket, and shipping. Plants very dwarf. 
Heads snow white; deep, smooth, com¬ 
pact; about 6 inches across, weight 1% 
to 2 lbs.; the standard of excellence in 
cauliflower. Pkt., 10c; *4 oz., 50c; *4 
oz., 95c; oz., $1.75, postpaid. 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. 
57 days. Very early variety for home, 
market garden, and shipping. Plants 
dwarf, short stemmed. Heads snow 
white; roundish, compact; commonly 
weigh about 2 lbs.; similar to Early 
Snowball, but usually a little later than 
our strain. Pkt., 10c; *4 oz., 45c; y 2 oz., 
80c; oz., $1.50, postpaid. 
DANISH GIANT, Dry Weather. 65 
days. Dependable variety to plant 'at 
the same time as Early Snowball, the 
crop being ready when Snowball has 
been harvested; one of the most de¬ 
pendable in adverse, dry weather. 
Plants dwarf, short stemmed; larger 
than Early Snowball. Heads large, 6 
to 7 inches across, commonly weigh 
2 lbs.; white with tinge of cream; of 
splendid quality. Pit., 10c; ^4 oz., 45c;
