HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Cosmos 
Every gardener delights in these choice plants for late summer and autumn 
flowering. They have feathery light green foliage and are used to advantage 
in clumps for screens or backgrounds. The flowers, of a delicate texture 
with broad petals often overlapping and fluted, are poised terminally on long 
graceful stems suitable for cutting. The plants do well in any sunny spot, 
but bloom more profusely in poor soil which discourages excessive root 
growth. [hA.] 
EARLY DOUBLE CRESTED. [3 ft.] Some of the flowers have attractive, 
raised, central crests of small petals which completely cover the discs. 
Crimson, pkt., 15c Pink, pkt., 15c White, pkt., 15c 
EARLY MAMMOTH SINGLE. [4 ft.] A type with fine single blooms, par¬ 
ticularly adapted to Northern latitudes because they are sure to flower be¬ 
fore early autumn frosts. 
Crimson, pkt., 10c Pink, pkt., 10c 
EARLY SINGLE MIXED. Similar to the 
above but flowers not quite so large. Pkt., 
5c. 
LATE MAMMOUTH SINGLE. [5 ft.] 
Wherever length of season permits, these 
varieties, which flower at least two weeks 
Double Crested Cosmos later than the early kinds, are liked be¬ 
cause of their height and magnificent 
blooms. Mixed, pkt., 10c. 
CYNOGLOSSOM (Chinese Forget-me-not). [hA-2 ft.] Too few people 
know this thrifty plant which is such an addition to a garden border. 
The long graceful branches are well covered with blossoms which re¬ 
semble the Forget-me-not in form, but are larger. Their color is rich 
turquoise blue. If kept cut for bouquets the blooming season is long. 
They are easy to grow. Amabile, Blue, pkt., 5c. 
CYPRESS VINE (Ipomoea Quamoclit). thA-C-8 ft.] A rapid-growing 
climber with soft deep green feathery foliage. The flowers are slender 
little trumpets with star-shaped rims. Due to its twining habit it will 
readily climb a stretched cord or light trellis. Scarlet, pkt., 10c; mixed, 
pkt., 5c. 
Delphinium 
[hP] One of the greatest charms of hardy Larkspurs is in their shades 
of blue which range from soft rosy lavender to violet and deepest indigo. 
The dwarfs are valuable in the border while the magnificent tall varieties 
are stately and beautiful in front of a shrubbery background. Above the 
deeply cut dark green leaves rise long floral spikes. 
DWARF CHINESE. [2 ft.] A short hardy type desirable for low borders 
or even for bedding. It has the merit of reaching its full development 
the first season from seed started early. The plants are dainty in form 
with cosmos-like foliage and produce single spurred flowers in rather 
loose sprays. 
AZURE FAIRY. Charming soft sky blue. Pkt., 10c. 
Delphinium 
BLUE BUTTERFLY. Blossoms intense gentian-blue. Pkt., 10c. 
TALL HYBRIDS. [5 ft.] Handsome sorts adapted to backgrounds. The 
long stalks are well decorated with broad, deeply cut, bright green 
leaves and carry long floral spikes. Plants grown from early sown seed 
will flower late the first season, but reach their full development the sec¬ 
ond year and thereafter. A fine succession of spikes if they are kept cut 
as they fade. 
BELLADONNA. A delightful shade of silvery blue. Pkt., 15c. 
BELLAMOSUM. Rich, deep and intense blue. Pkt., 15c. 
BLACKMORE AND LANGDON HYBRIDS. Latest and highest develop¬ 
ment of the Hollyhock type of Delphinium. Very large single, semi-double, 
and double flowers. All the pastel shades from very light blue to indigo. 
Pkt., 10c. 
Dahlia 
Dahlias can be easily raised from seed and will bloom the first year. 
Seed should be started in a shallow box in March or April. 
1018 DOUBLE MIXED. Pkt., 25c. 
1020 SINGLE MIXED. Pkt., 10c. 
Dianthus 
PINKS. The time-honored garden pinks with their single or double carnation-like flowers make excel¬ 
lent border plants for modern gardens. Gay blossoms on strong stems come in a variety of rich colors, and 
their stripes and markings make them especially attractive. They are of easy culture and quite suitable 
for cutting. 
CHINENSIS, DOUBLE MIXED. [hA-12 in.] This variety supplies an abundance 
of fringed double flowers. They resemble Sweet William, but the blossoms 
are larger. Pkt., 5c. 
HEDDEWIGII LACINIATUS DOUBLE MIXED (Japan). [hA-12 in ] Superb 
flowers rivaling the Carnation in size and doubleness of blossoms. Excellent for 
bouquets. Pkt., 10c. 
HEDDEWIGH SINGLE MIXED. [hA-12 in.] Pkt., 10c. 
PLUMARIUS, SINGLE and SEMI DOUBLE MIXED. [hP-12 in.] Pkt., 10c. 
Dianthus (See also Carnation, Sweet William). 
Didiscus 
BLUE LACE FLOWER. [hA-2]4 ft.] The clusters of slender flower tubes 
on this dainty plant are heavenly blue in color and spread out like miniature 
lace parasols. Florists everywhere appreciate its grace and beauty as a cut 
flower. In home gardens it does best in cool locations. It does not grow well 
in hot dry weather. Each plant needs a foot of space. Coeruleus Blue, pkt., 10c. 
Dimorphotheca 
AFRICAN DAISY. [hA-12 in.] This annual can well be used to furnish a late 
splash of color in the rock garden and in low beds and borders. The spreading 
plants are covered with a wealth of large daisy-like blossoms which expand in 
full sun but close toward nightfall. Dark centers, common to all varieties, en¬ 
hance their beauty. African Daisy is a splendid winter flower in California 
and the Southern States if sown in late fall. Orange. The original form, a 
beautiful bright orange. Pkt., 10c. Hybrids. Many colors from lemon yellow 
Delphinium Pinks to deep orange. Pkt., 10c.
