HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Delphinium 
Delphinium 
(hP) 
(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. Two feet. A short hardy type desirable for 
low borders or even for bedding. It has the merit of reach¬ 
ing 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. 
BLUE BUTTERFLY. Blossoms intense gentian-blue. Pkt., 10c. 
TALL HYBRIDS. Five feet. Handsome sorts adapted to back¬ 
grounds. 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 second 
year and thereafter. A fine succession of spikes if they are 
kept cut as they fade. 
BELLADONNA. A delightful shade of slivery blue. Pkt., 15c. 
BELLAMOSUM. Rich, deep and intense blue. Pkt., 15c. 
BLACKMORE AND LANGDON HYBRIDS. Latest and highest 
development 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. 
Everlasting Flowers 
Everlasting or Strawflowers not only give a fine effect in 
beds, borders and as cut flowers, but are also easily dried for 
winter use. Cut the flowers early in the morning and hang 
them, heads down, in a cool, shady and airy place until 
thoroughly dry. Plants bloom from July until frost. 
ACROCLINIUM, New Large Flowered Double Hybrids. A 
new extra fine selection for your winter bouquets. Similar to 
Helichrysum, but flowers more open. Twice the size of the 
ordinary strain, borne on 12 to 18 inch stems, rich in shades 
of salmon, apricot, pink, rose and cerise, mostly with dark 
contrasting centers. Pkt., 10c. 
HELICHRYSUM. Double, everlasting flowers, coming in an 
assortment of brilliant colors. Plants 20 inches high, do 
well in all soils, best if planted where they get sunlight 
all day long. Mixed colors. Pkt., 5c. 
STATICE. (hA). Two feet. This everlasting of unusual beauty 
is often seen in florists' shops. It is easily grown and can 
grace the home garden border as well as furnish fine cut 
flowers either in the green or dried state. The plants thrive 
in a sunny location where the soil is quite poor, and they 
need only a minimum of moisture. Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
Eschscholtzia 
CALIFORNIA POPPY. (hA). Twelve inch. California glories in 
this, its state flower, and today it is planted everywhere. 
It blooms profusely all summer. The plants grow in tufts, 
and the blue-green foliage is very lacy. The long tapering 
buds expand into handsome saucer-shaped blossoms. We 
specialize in these flowers. 
AUTUMN GLORY. The flowers are very large and double. The 
outside of the petals is brilliant orange-crimson, and the 
inside is coppery orange. They are beautifully frilled. Pkt., 
0 10c. 
EXTRA GOLDEN (The True California Poppy). A robust strain 
with flowers of rich, pure gold coloring. Pkt., 5c. 
RAMONA. A charming variety with frilled single flowers of 
a coppery gold color, shading to pink. Pkt., 10c. 
SUNLIGHT. A long stemmed plant with many gorgeous flow¬ 
ers of pure canary-yellow. Pkt., 10c. 
WHITE. Rich, satiny white. Pkt., 10c. 
MIXED. A delightful combination of vivid colors. Pkt., 10c. 
Forget-Me-Not 
MYOSOTIS ALPESTRIS, Blue. Very attractive, dwarf, free- 
flowering bushes. Excellent for borders. Light blue flowers 
standing out sharply from the rich green foliage. They do 
best in the semi-shade, where the soil does not dry out too 
quickly. Thin plants to 6 inches apart. They will flower 
freely the first season and still more profusely the second 
spring. The national flower of Belgium. Pkt., 10c. 
CYNOGLOSSUM AMABILE (Chinese Forget-Me-Not). A lovely 
plant 18 to 24 inches tall with flowers of a true Forget- 
Me-Not blue. True blue flowers are scarce so this is a real 
find for garden lovers. Used as an annual, grows easily 
and blooms for a long season. Pkt., 5c. 
Four O'clock 
MARVEL OF PERU, TALL. (tP). Two feet. Treated as an 
annual, this thrifty family produces plants suitable for 
growing as a hedge or as a low screen along a fence. The 
green of the leaves is relieved by a succession of brilliant 
buds and salver-shaped flowers in a fine range of colors. 
The flowers have an interesting habit—they open in the 
late afternoon, re¬ 
main expanded all 
night, and close a- 
gain the next morn¬ 
ing in the heat 
of the sun. They 
bloom from mid¬ 
summer to frost, 
and their roots may 
be stored over win¬ 
ter and replanted 
the following 
spring. Red, strip¬ 
ed, pkt., 10c. Mix¬ 
ed, pkt., 5c. 
Foxglove 
(Digitalis) 
GLOX I N I A E FLORA. 
(hP). 3 feet. Much 
of the quaint charm 
of an old-fashioned 
garden is created 
by stately spires of 
Foxglove. Their 
long spikes are 
crowned with large 
thimble - shaped 
blossoms beautiful¬ 
ly spotted on the 
exposed interior 
surfaces. They are 
ornamental subjects 
for naturalizing a- 
mong shrubs or in 
the background of 
a hardy border. 
Rose, White. Mix¬ 
ed, pkt., 10c.
