HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Imperial Larkspur 
Larkspur 
(hA). Three feet. Annual 
Delphiniums are adorned 
with finely cut, feathery fo¬ 
liage of soft green which sets 
off to advantage the hand¬ 
some long floral spikes of 
double blossoms. The colors 
are very satisfying, for they 
range from pure white 
through soft shades of lav¬ 
ender and pink to deep blue. 
They bloom from early sum¬ 
mer until fall. 
Double Tall Stock 
Flowered 
BRANCHING SORTS. The 
following varieties with 
lateral branches are quite 
spreading, but they pro¬ 
duce many fine spikes. 
Sky Blue, Lustrous Car¬ 
mine, Dark Blue or Purple, 
Pink, White. Pink (Rosa¬ 
mond), 10c. Mixed, pkt., 
5c. 
UPRIGHT CLASS (Imperial). 
This newer form produces 
plants of erect habit, 
branching from the base, 
affording longer stems for 
cutting. Blue Spire, Los 
Angeles Improved, Exquis¬ 
ite Pink Improved, White 
Spire, Giant Hyacinth 
Flowered, Mixed, pkt., 15c. 
Lafhyrus 
LATIFOLIUS (PERENNIAL SWEET PEA). (hP-C). Five feet. 
This sturdy vine with luxuriant pea-like foliage bears hand¬ 
some flowers, also pea-shaped, in large clusters of 8 or 
10 each; they are somewhat thick and waxy in appearance. 
The vine may be trained upon a support, but it is also well 
adapted to scramble over rocks and other rugged places. 
The plants bloom for a long period, although in a northern 
latitude they die at frost to renew growth in the spring. 
Mixed, pkt., 10c. 
Lavender 
LAVANDULA VERA. (hP). Two feet. This is the lavender our 
grandmothers grew and dried. It is a pleasing addition to 
the home garden, too, because of the feathery gray foli¬ 
age, the little lavender flowers, and the dainty fragrance. 
A native of dry, sandy wastes, this plant may easily be 
cultivated in any garden soil. Pkt., 10c. 
Linum 
The flax family numbers several varieties with such bril¬ 
liant flowers that they deserve a place in the home garden. 
While the life of the individual flowers is short, the continued 
succession prolongs the blooming season through the sum¬ 
mer. Suitable for growing in beds or low borders. 
GRANDIFLORUM RUBRUM (Scorlet Flax). (hA). Eighteen 
inches. Produces clusters of saucer-shaped flowers of a 
glossy bright red with dark centers. Pkt., 10c. 
PERENNE BLUE. (hP). Eighteen inches. Of graceful form 
with arching stems carrying small sky-blue blossoms veined 
darker blue and with light centers. Pkt., 10c. 
Lobelia 
Everyone who has planted Lobelias in his garden knows 
how effective they are. Varieties differ in color and habit, 
but all of them bear dainty flowers somewhat like tiny butter¬ 
flies in form. The annuals because of their low growth and 
compactness of foliage are invaluable for edgings and for use 
in rock gardens. They are covered with flowers for a long 
season. 
CELESTIAL OR TRUE BLUE. (hA). Four inches. The finest 
variety with green foliage. The flowers are bright blue with 
tiny white throats Pkt., 10c. 
Lupin 
The foliage of all varieties of Lupin is in the form of many 
lance-like rays about a common center. Pea-shaped blossoms 
are compactly placed on upright tapering spikes. The plants 
prefer a semi-shaded spot, and should be sown where they are 
to remain. 
HARTWEGI. (hA). Two feet. Branching in habit, this class 
forms many fine large flowered spikes and is the best an¬ 
nual type for cutting. 
Dark Blue—Light Blue—Rose—Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
TEXENSIS. (hA). Twelve inches. The wild Bluebonnet of 
Texas, particularly useful in dry situations. Pkt., 5c. 
POLYPHYLLUS MIXED. (hP). Three feet. This beautiful hardy 
type is taller than the annual varieties. It produces a con¬ 
tinuous succession of noble spikes in a wide range of colors. 
Pkt., 10c. 
Marigold 
(hA.) 
(hA) Late in the season when many other growing things 
are past their prime, these plants supply an abundance of dec¬ 
orative blossoms. Their tones of orange and yellow blend well 
when the flowers are arranged loosely in bowls and vases. 
The bright green foliage is finely cut, and the stems are 
stout. Tall Marigolds give charm to the border, while the 
dwarfs are valuable for bedding and make ideal edging plants. 
AFRICAN TALL DOUBLE (Tagetes erecta). 2Vi feet. Very 
large globular flowers composed of compact tubular or 
quilled petals. The stems should be cut carefully to avoid 
the somewhat disagreeable odor when bruised. Mixed. 
Pleasing combinations of these varieties produce a rich 
effect. Pkt., 10c. 
GUINEA GOLD (African). Two feet. Carnation-like petals and 
unusually brilliant golden color make this flower outstand¬ 
ing among Marigolds. It lacks much of the pungent odor 
of other Marigolds. The plant blooms very freely, and prac¬ 
tically all of the flowers ere double. Pkt., 10c. 
YELLOW SUPREME (African). Twenty-six inches. This is the 
newest of the Marigolds. The fluffy flowers of light golden 
yellow are double and semi-double, with petals broad and 
loose. The inner petals are shorter, curving in slightly so 
that the center is partly covered. The foliage is dark green 
with paler green stems. This Marigold does not have the 
odor which is disagreeable to some people; it is even 
slightly fragrant. Pkt., 10c. 
TALL DOUBLE SORTS. 2 1/3 feet. These are useful for bor¬ 
der decoration and produce handsome cut flowers. Pkt., 10c. 
DWARF DOUBLE VARIETIES. Ten inches. These are the most 
noteworthy of the French strains, and the symmetrically 
rounded plants have few equals for bedding and edging. 
The blooming period is-long, and the brilliant shades of 
well-formed flowers stand out strikingly against the dark 
foliage. Gold Striped, Golden Ball, Maroon. Pkt., 10c. 
MIXED. Pkt., 5e. 
Tall Double African Marigold
