HAWKEYE SEEDS ARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY 
Annual and Perennial Flower Seeds 
Whether you have acres of ground or just a little dooryard, 
you want the best flowers you can buy. The long list of an¬ 
nuals offered here will give you wide choice of color and 
variety. Order plenty of them to plant among the perennials 
and to group by themselves for cutting. Sow perennial seeds 
at the same time as the annuals; the earlier in the season 
they are started, the better next year's plants will be.

These free flowering, quick growing annuals, which bloom 
throughout the summer, are invaluable as a source of the 
blue-lavender tones which are demanded to balance the color- 
effect of every planting. Varying in height from 6 inches to 
3 feet, you may use them to fill many different garden roles. 
The taller varieties are useful for cutting. Dwarf sorts are apt 
to vary in height.

in poorer ground. Pkt., 5c. 
Asters 
Have you had trouble raising Asters on account of Fu- 
sarium Wilt? Wilt-Resistant Strains will solve the problem. 
In size and form they equal the non-resistant types, and on 
the whole they are more vigorous. Whenever possible, it is 
best to use them in preference to the older types.
