HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
v y 
Calendula 
Calendula 
Pot Marigold. [hA-18 in.] 
This old favorite has few rivals 
for being the showiest annual in 
the garden, or as a cut flower. In 
most climates it blooms all sum¬ 
mer if the seed pods are kept off, 
but the brilliant flowers are par¬ 
ticularly valuable in late fall. 
Sunshine (Chrysantha). This 
is an outstanding new Calen¬ 
dula with Chrysanthemum¬ 
shaped flowers of bright golden 
yellow. The long clean stems 
make them especially good for 
cutting. Pkt., 10 c. 
Lemon Queen. A reliable va¬ 
riety supplying large blossoms 
of clear lemon yellow. It has 
long been a standard Calendula. 
The flowers are smaller than 
those of Ball’s Gold, but more 
resistant to sun. Pkt., 10 c. 
Calliopsis 
Calliopsis 
rhA.l This graceful plant with its finely cut foli- 
produces a, wealth of brilliant flowers. The 
blooms, about 1% inches across, are daisy-like in 
form, but their broad petals are slightly toothed at 
the outside edges. On their tall swinging stems they 
are not only decorative in the garden but make fine 
bouciuets. From June until late autumn there will 
be plenty of flowers if they are kept cut. The plants 
like the sunshine. 
Mixed. A fine mixture in shades from golden yel¬ 
low to maroon. Pkt., 5c. 
PERENNIAL CALLIOPSIS. (See Coreopsis.) 
Campanula 
This great family of plants might fancifully be 
compared to a glorious “carillon,” or set of chimes, 
for they are all bell flowers. Some varieties carry 
large bells and others tiny ones. Some are tall and 
stately, well suited for backgrounds in the hardy 
border, while others are dwarf and dainty, nt to 
grace a quiet rock garden. Their colors are usually 
in the cool tones of white and blue. The plants 
prefer a medium rich soil and do well even in halt 
shady spots. 
Medium or Canterbury Bell. [hP-2 ft.] Impos¬ 
ing branching plants heavily loaded with large 
pendant bells. The flowers appear in white, various 
shades of blue, and even in pink, which is a color 
found only in the medium class. 
and therefore they are more suitable for garden cul¬ 
ture. The flowers are borne abundantly on sturdy 
compact plants. Pkt., 10c. 
Mixed. Many varieties in a well blended mixture 
which is very brilliant. Pkt., 5 c. 
Cardinal Climber 
Ipomoea Quumoclit Hybrida. [hA-C-15 ft.] This 
rapidly growing climber attains quite a height dur¬ 
ing the season if planted in rich soil in a warm 
sunny place. The flowers, growing in clusters, are 
tubular and expand into star-shaped rims. Their 
color is an intense fiery red which shows off to ad¬ 
vantage against the feathery green of the leaves. 
Pkt., 10c. 
Carnation 
Dianthus Caryophyllus. [tP.] Few flowers sur¬ 
pass in beauty of form or delicious fragrance the 
richly hued Carnation. The plants are branching 
but compact, and the handsome blossoms are pro¬ 
duced on blue-green stems that are stiff but slender. 
The double flowers with their thick waxy petals are 
spicily scented. 
Chabaud Giant. [18 in.] This variety blooms six 
months after seeding and continues throughout the 
summer. The plants, robust and erect, supply hand¬ 
some, double, clove-scented flowers of extra large 
size. This type should not be confused with the old, 
small-flowered Chabaud. 
Cardinal Red Salmon Deep Rose 
Yellow Wliite 
Annual Single Mixed (New). Pkt., 25c. 
Biennial Single Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
Biennial Double Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
Candytuft 
[hA-l ft.] Somewhat like Sweet Alyssum, both 
flowers and plants are a little more open and larger. 
They are splendid for use in the border, and as cut 
flowers. They bear quantities of single four-petaled 
blossoms in terminal clusters. Plenty of sunshine 
and only a moderate amount of watering are con¬ 
ditions that favor their best development. 
Umbellata. Compact varieties liberally sprinkled 
with flat clusters of small florets. 
Lilac Purple While Pkt., 10c. 
Rose Cardinal. Mixed. Pkts., 10c 
each. 
Empress or Rocket. A white sort 
with extra large clusters; superior to 
the common white variety. Pkt., 10c. 
Giant Hyacinth Flowered White. 
Several large bold floral spikes, each 
resembling a well formed Hyacinth, 
are grouped upright about a stout 
stem. Pkt., 10c. 
Canna 
[tP-3 ft.] There is fine dignity in 
this stately plant. Each stalk pro¬ 
duces broad leaves of green or bronze, 
topped by a cluster of large flowers of 
varied and vivid colors. Usually they 
are started from roots, but they can 
easily be grown from seed. The seeds, 
however, are very hard and should bp 
notched or filed and soaked before 
planting. 
Large Flowering Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
Orange King. An extra select stock 
producing magnificent flowers of a 
deep orange color. They resist hot 
sun better than the florist’s types, 
Pkt., 15c. 
Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
Marguerite. [20 in.] This well-known variety 
blooms five months after the seeds are planted and 
may be treated as an annual. The vigorous plants 
bear deeply fringed, sweet-scented flowers in a 
choice assortment of rich colors. 
Double Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
Celosia 
Cockscomb. [hA.] An odd and picturesque class 
of plants having colored foliage and innumerable 
small flowers and seed vessels which form a brilliant 
colored mass. The vivid blossoms are sometimes 
gracefully arranged like plumes and in other types 
form dense clusters corrugated and frilled at the 
edges like cocks’ combs. They retain 
their brilliant coloring from midsum¬ 
mer until frost. 
Dwarf Crested (Cristata). [10 in.] 
This little plant is almost over-pow¬ 
ered by the large ruffled velvety crest 
that rises above it on a central stem. 
This variety gives Celosia the name 
“Cockscomb.” 
Empress. Large crimson combs, 
rich bronze foliage. 
Rose. Fine rose colored crests. 
Mixed. Pkts.. 10c each. 
Feathered (Plumosa). [3 ft.] For 
grace and dignity the Plumosa type is 
remarkable among Celosias. The 
plants display numerous stately, ele¬ 
gant plumes. They are impressive in 
the garden and are equally striking 
when dried and used for winter bou¬ 
quets. 
Mixed. Crimson. Pkts.. 10c each. 
Childsi (Chinese Woolflower). [2 
ft.] Upon the many branches of this 
gay plant are borne, terminally, vivid 
crimson flower clusters like balls of 
yarn. A single plant forms a veri¬ 
table bouquet of these odd blossom 
heads. 
Crimson. Pkt., 10c.
