HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Pansies 
(hA). 8 inch. Gardeners who want Pansies that are really 
good must choose their seed with unusual care. It takes many 
years to develop perfect strains and great care to keep them 
stable. In the several strains which we offer, tp $dit different 
uses and different* purses, it is our aim to approach the ideal 
plant. The ideal is robust and compact with handsome foli¬ 
age. It should bear an abundance of 5-petaled flowers of 
fine velvety texture, circular in outline, on stiff stems. 
LARGE FLOWERED. A large flowering class with well rounded 
flowers. Normally, the upper two petals are of the same 
single color, contrasting* with another shade in the three 
lower petals which are beautifully blotched. An excellent 
bedding mixture in many colors, chiefly the rich darker 
shades. Black, Blue, Purple, White, Yellow and mixed. 
Pkt., 10c. 
STEELE'S MASTODON. A vigorous Oregon type, particularly 
desirable for cutting as the plants are taller and have long¬ 
er stems. Esteemed in California for bedding. A fine blend 
for bright effects. Pkt., 25c. 
Phlox 
DRUMMONDI. hA. 12-inch. Early Texas settlers were de¬ 
lighted with the wild Phlox that made the landscape 
vivid with color. From these American wild flowers have 
come the splendid varieties of today. By selection and 
breeding, modern Phlox Drummondi has become more 
regular and compact in habit, the blossoms have become 
larger and better in shape, and the clusters more dense 
and symmetrical. Today the plants bear many broad clus¬ 
ters of large five-petaled flowers. For variety of bright 
fresh colorings they are unequaled, and they flower freely 
during the entire summer. 
Chamois Rose Maroon Pink (Carnea) Scarlet 
Scarlet, White Eye Violet White Yellow 
Any one of the above: Pkt., 10c. 
MIXED. The best large flowered varieties, unexcelled for pro¬ 
fusion of bloom and well blended in a wide range of bril¬ 
liant cplors. Pkt., 10c. 
DWARF MIXED. Pkt., 10c. 
STAR MIXED. The petals of these flowers have fringed or 
toothed edges, darker centers, and margins of a different 
shade, giving them the appearance of twinkling stars. 
Otherwise, they are similar to the large flowering kinds. 
Pkt., 10c. 
Physalis - Chinese Lantern 
(hP). 18 inches. Suggestive of the Orient are the orange- 
red colors of this Japanese plant. The flaming lanterns are 
unique in form. Ranged as they are along stiff stems they 
are effective for winter decoration in the house. Either with 
silvery l.unaria or with perennial Baby's Breath (Gypsophila 
paniculata) , they are of special beauty. Pods do not usually 
develop until the second year, but the small yellow and brown 
flowers are unobtrusively pleasing, and Physalis is a valuable 
addition to any perennial border. The plants grow easily 
from seed and tend to self-sow. 
FRANCHETI. Pkt., 10c. 
Iceland Poppies 
Poppies 
Every child and every grown-up knows and loves poppies 
and associates them with summer. What a glorious riot of 
color they bring, with almost every shade of the rainbow avail¬ 
able in the wide range of varieties. There are double and sin- 1 
gle blossoms, and both are delicate in texture and graceful 
in form. As a rule, the individual flowers do not last long, but 
others follow in rapid succession to replace them, and the 
gay show goes on. 
Shirley 
(hA). 18 inch. This delightful group sprang originally from 
the common European Field Poppy, which everyone knows as 
the Flanders Field Poppy of the World War. The plants with 
their deeply cut foliage, slender hairy stems, and silky petal- 
ed blossoms, often fluted, present a delicate airy picture as 
they nod in the slightest breeze. 
SINGLE AMERICAN LEGION. This is a dazzling scarlet with 
white cross at center. The best substitute for the wild 
Flanders Poppy. Pkt., 10c. 
SINGLE MIXED. A superb blend of this beautiful type of 
Poppy ranging in color from pure white through tones of 
salmon, pink, and rose to brightest carmine-red. Pkt., 10c. 
TALL SOMNIFERUM. (hA). Three feet. It is to this class that 
the Opium Poppy of the Orient belongs, but we do not 
handle the seed of that particular variety. These robust 
plants are of imposing stature, carry an abundance of thick 
wide leaves, and bear large flowers on stout stems. Pkt., 
10c. 
SINGLE MIXED. A varied collection of single deeply cupped 
flowers, many with fringed petals. 
DOUBLE CHOICE MIXED. A wide selection of vivid colors 
chosen from Carnation and Peony types. Pkt., 10c. 
Nudicaule (Iceland Peppy) 
(hP-R). 18 inch. This hardy Poppy slightly resembles the 
delicately formed annual Shirley. However, the plants are 
somewhat different in habit and contain many shades of 
yellow and orange. At its base each plant forms a neat tuft 
of finely cut leaves above which rise bare wiry stems holding 
cup-shaped single flowers. Iceland Poppies are valuable in a 
hardy border or in a permanent rock garden, and when in 
bud they are desirable for cutting. Pkt., 10c. 
Orientale 
< hP). 21/2 feet. These are the royal members of the Poppy 
family. They are majestic in all their characteristics, have 
magnificent foliage, sturdy stems, huge cup-shaped flowers 
with crinkled petals, and large decorative pods. In the her¬ 
baceous border they form a gorgeous picture. Red, Hybrids. 
Pkt., 10c. 
Primrose - Primula 
Certain varieties of this plant are tender, while others are 
hardy and give fine satisfaction in the open ground, prefer¬ 
ably in rich soil and partial shade. 
HARDY VARIETIES. (hP-R). Six inch. In early spring these 
Primroses produce handsome rosettes of leaves from the 
centers of which rise lovely velvety flowers in a rich as¬ 
sortment of colors. They delight in a rich soil but do best 
in partial shade. They are treasures in a rock garden or 
in a low permanent border. Pkt., 15c.
