HAMILTON'S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
35 
A Fragrant Garden with Plenty ol Flowers 
SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus Barbatus). [hP-2 ft.] When the 
late Tulips are gone in the spring and before many other flowers 
are in bloom. Sweet William will ornament the garden with rich 
and varied color. The hardy plants form erect tufts and bear 
handsome broad clusters of blossoms like little Pinks with deli¬ 
cately fringed petals. 
SINGLE. Fine rounded clusters 3 or 4 inches across are com¬ 
posed of many disc-like flowers with overlapping fringed petals 
gayly colored and marked. Pkt., 10c; Mixed pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE. Quite similar in habit and form to the single type, 
but the clusters are made up of many dainty double blossoms. 
Less showy than the single sorts, but longer in flower. 3Iixed pkt., 
10c. 
THUNBERGIA (Black Eyed Susan). [tP-C-4 ft.] This orna¬ 
mental creeper will climb as well as twine if offered support. It 
is decorated by an abundance of fine triangular leaves and pro¬ 
duces quantities of tubular flowers with broad expanded overlap¬ 
ping lobes about 1 inch across. The blossoms vary from white 
through buff to deep orange and are set off by a solid black cen¬ 
ter. A fine ground cover in sunny spots or overhanging a bare 
bank. It should be grown as an annual. Alata Mixed, pkt., 10c. 
VINCA ROSEA (Periwinkle). [tP-15 in.] Every year this plant 
from the Island of Madagascar increases in popularity because of 
its glossy dark green foliage and profusion of flowers. The blos¬ 
soms are somewhat like those of Phlox, but they are larger and 
are not borne in clusters. The plants are entirely free from the 
attacks of insects. In mild climates they are long season bloom¬ 
ers; in colder sections they may be treated as annuals for late 
summer and autumn bloom. Mixed. A choice blend of named 
sorts. Pkt., 10c. 
Verbena 
VERBENA. [tP] Do you remember a sunny 
bare place that was an eyesore in the flower bor¬ 
der last summer? Or some other spot that 
would have been improved by low-growing plants 
with a dash of color? You will make no mistake 
by choosing Verbenas for such a need in your 
next year’s garden. These ever popular dwarf 
creeping plants produce a garnish of somber, 
dark green foliage enlivened by many fine clus¬ 
ters of star-shaped blossoms with rounded lobed 
petals. The colors are decidedly refreshing in 
their brilliancy. Though half hardy, Verbena 
should be used as an annual and will flower from 
midsummer to frost from seeds started early in 
the spring. 
H y b r i d a Mammoth. [8 in.] Sometimes 
called “Gigantea.” A choice selection of the large 
flowering strain which bears fine rounded clus¬ 
ters of blossoms. Individually they are of splen¬ 
did size. 
Blue. Deep violet-blue with white eye. Pkt., 
15c. 
Scarlet (Lucifer). Flaming red. Pkt., 15c. 
White. Exquisite pure white. Pkt., 15c. 
Mixed. A superb blend of mammoth sorts. 
Pkt., 15c. 
Hybrida. [8 in.] The ever reliable bedding 
type, very floriferous and producing clusters of 
fine blossoms of excellent size. 
There is a wide range of colors,—vivid pink, 
bright scarlet, deep violet blue. Some flowers 
have light colored centers which make them dis¬ 
tinctive. This variety is very desirable for rock 
gardens, as well as for low borders, on account 
of the plant’s trailing habits. 
Choice Mixed. An assortment of the vivid 
colors and intermediate shades. Pkt., 10c. 
CORNUTA (Tufted Pansies). [hP-R-6 in.] Those who do not know 
the Viola often mistake it for a small-flowered Pansy. It belongs 
to the same great Violet family, but it is distinctly different. It is 
very hardy, and for that reason it is one of the best edging plants 
for the permanent border or rock garden. Over neat tufts of foli¬ 
age the dainty flowers are gracefully poised on slender stems. Fre¬ 
quently the petals of the blossoms do not overlap as they do in 
many Pansies, and the spur or horn of the lower petal is more 
pronounced. Mixed. An assortment of many rich colors which blend 
admirably. Pkt., 10c. 
VIRGINIAN STOCK [hA-6 
in.] This was a favorite in 
gardens in the old days, and 
modern flower lovers should 
make use of it more often 
than they do. It can be sown 
quite early, and as summer 
comes on it will provide a 
pretty, fresh effect as an edg¬ 
ing or in a low border. The 
dwarf plants are light green 
and produce quantities of 
four-petaled single flowers 
with a faint perfume. These 
come in shades of red and 
white. The plants bloom for 
many weeks. Mixed. Pkt., 5c.
