HAMILTON’S HAWKE YE SEEDS 
HAWKEYE SWEET CORN 
VAR HAWKEYE 
rw " GARDENERS 
Warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn, but a satisfactory 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% 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 two 
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. Plant one pound to 400 ft. row. 10 pounds to acre. 
IMPROVED STRAIN GOLDEN BANTAM. Ex¬ 
tra Early—Matures in about 65 days. 
EXTRA EARLY GOLDEN BANTAM. This is 
a recombination of 15 inbred strains of Golden 
Bantam. The strains used were inbred since 
1922. 
In trial grounds this combination has been 
ready to eat approximately a week before ordi¬ 
nary Golden Bantam. The plants grow fully as 
tall and the strain comes into eating stage more 
uniformly than regular Bantam. 
The quality, color and width of kernel is quite 
superior. “Extra Early” Golden Bantam is 
adapted especially to home gardens, where early 
eating corn is desired. It is also profitable to 
market gardeners. This recombination can be 
carried along by seed selection from the crop 
just as with any normal variety. 76 days. Pkt., 
5c; % lb., 17c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. Plants 4 % to 5 ft. tall,

cause it remains in table 
condition for a long while.

Kingscrost Golden Bantam 
A double cross between inbred strains. 
Kingscrost is about 10 days earlier, 
in coming to the eating stage, than or¬ 
dinary Golden Bantam. It is especially 
adapted to market gardening because 
all the ears are ready to pick at the 
same time, soil differences considered. 
For home gardening, therefore, succes¬ 
sive plantings should be made. 73 days.
