HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Celosias — Cockscombs 
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 ararnged like plumes and in other types form dense 
clusters corrugated and frilled at the edges like cocks' combs. They 
retain their brilliant coloring from midsummer until frost. 
DWARF CRESTED (Cristata). Ten inches. This little plant is almost 
overpowered by the large ruffled velvety crest that arises above it 
on a central stem. This variety gives Celosia the name "Cocks¬ 
comb." 
EMPRESS. Large crimson combs, rich bronze foliage. 
ROSE. Fine rose-colored crests. 
Mixed, pkts., 10c each. 
FEATHERED (Plumosa). Three feet. For grace and dignity the Plu- 
mosa type is remarkable among Celosias. The plants display numer¬ 
ous stately, elegant plumes. They are impressive in the garden and 
are equally striking when dried and used for winter bouquets. 
MIXED CRIMSON. Pkts., 10c each. 
CHILDSI (Chinese Woolflower). Two feet. Upon the many branches 
of this gay plant are borne, terminally, vivid crimson flower clusters 
like balls of yarn. A single plant forms a veritable bouquet of these 
odd blossom heads. Crimson. Pkt., 10c, 
Cenfaurea — Cornflowers 
Particularly well adapted for border planting. The types cultivated 
for their flowers have bulging calyces from which many finely cut 
petals expand. Others have a downy growth on their leaves, making 
the foliage quite ornamental. All of them are of easy culture from 
seed. 
Annual Canterbury Bells 
Canterbury Bells 
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, fit 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 half-shady spots. 
CYANUS DOUBLE (Bachelor Button). (hA). Two feet. This 
superb class of Cornflowers produces handsome, large, 
double blooms, effective out-of-doors and in bouquets. 
Blue. Pkt., 5c. 
Rose. Pkt., 10c. 
Mixed. Pkt., 5c. 
IMPERIALIS (Sweet Sultan). (hA). Two and one half feet. 
Flowers with deeply fringed petals closely held in rounded 
calyces are graceful in form and delicately scented. Be¬ 
cause they have long stems and keep fresh a long time, 
they are especially desirable for cutting. 
Amaranth Red White Mixed Yellow (Suaveolens) 
Any of the above: Pkt., 10c. 
MEDIUM or CANTERBURY BELL. (hP). Two feet. Impos¬ 
ing branching plants heavily loaded with large pendent 
bells. The flowers appear in white, various shades of blue, 
and even in pink, which is a color found only in the med¬ 
ium class. 
Annual Single Mixed. Pkt., 25c. 
Biennial Single Mixed. Pkt., 5c. 
CATHEDRAL BELLS (Cobaea scandens). (hhP-C). Thirty 
feet. This climber of rapid growth has deep green foliage 
of fine texture, and it bears large bell-shaped flowers on 
graceful stems. The blossoms are green at first, later 
changing to beautiful deep violet-blue. The vine clings by 
means of spiral tendrils. It is hardy in a mild climate. 
Blue. Pkt., 10c. 
Cardinal Climber 
IPOMOEA QUAMOCLIT HYBRIDA. (hA-C). 15 feet. This 
rapidly growing climber attains quite a height during the 
season if planted in rich soil in a warm sunny place. The 
flowers, growing in dusters, are tubular and expand into 
star-shaped rims. Their color is an intense fiery red which 
shows off to advantage against the feathery green of the 
leaves. Pkt., 10c. 
Carnation 
DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUS. (tP). Few flowers surpass in 
beauty of form or delicious fragrance the richly hued Car¬ 
nation. The plants are branching but compact, and the 
handsome blossoms are produced on blue-green stems 
that are stiff but slender. The double flowers with their 
thick waxy petals are spicily scented. 
CHABAUD GIANT. 18 inches. This variety blooms 6 months 
after seeding and continues throunghout the summer. The 
plants, robust and erect, supply handsome, 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 White 
Pkt., 15c. 
Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
MARGUERITE. Twenty inches. 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. 
Clarkia 
DOUBLE. (hA). 2 feet. These graceful plants can be recom¬ 
mended without reserve for the border or for cut flowers. 
They are erect and bushy with attractive light green 
foliage. The upright branches, slightly drooping, bear 
quantities of delicately colored double flowers, resembling 
small carnations or rosettes set along the stems. 
CHAMOIS QUEEN. Fresh cream-pink. Pkt., 10c. 
ORANGE KING. Salmon-orange. Pkt., 10c. 
MIXED. A choice mixture of rich colors. Pkt., 10c.
