HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Stocks 
Salvia 
FLOWERING SAGE. Unrivalled for its dazzling color. Scarlet 
Sage maintains its popularity from year to year. The dense 
dark green foliage forms a fine background for the count¬ 
less spikes of tubular florets. The blue varieties are less 
showy, but for beauty of coloring or as cut flowers they are 
very desirable. Although Salvias are perennial and will live 
on in a mild climate, they should be treated as annuals 
and will bloom readily the first season if started early in¬ 
doors. 
SPLENDENS. (tP). 2 feet. This vigorous Scarlet Sage is a 
large flowered, early strain. Pkt., 10c. 
PATENS. (tP). 18 inches. One of the finest indigo-blue flow¬ 
ers known, less branching than other varieties but attrac¬ 
tive in the mixed border. Pkt., 15c. 
Sedum 
STONECROP. (hP-R). 3 inches. In semi-arid spots, in crev¬ 
ices of walls, and in rock gardens this low tufted plant 
thrives admirably. At first a multitude of stalks spread 
from the base of the plant, then finally stand erect and 
are covered with tiny light green fleshy leaves. In early 
summer this mossy growth is blanketed with small star¬ 
shaped blossoms of golden yellow. 
ACRE (Golden Moss). Pkt., 25c. 
SPRAY EARLY FOR INSECTS AND DISEASES 
See page 46. 
Snapdragon - Antirrhinum 
(hA). Modern Snapdragons come in a wide range of colors 
from delicate pastels to vivid hues. 
Seed may be sown outdoors in fall or spring. Where winters 
are severe, gardeners who want early flowers should start the 
seed under glass in spring, transplanting to a sunny situation 
as soon as the ground is warm. 
RUST-RESISTANT MIXED. A special strain bred for resistance 
against this blight. About 75 per cent rust-proof. Good 
colors. 
DOUBLE. In the class of Gilliflowers the gardener is assured 
of a delightful perfume. Combined with this pleasing attri¬ 
bute the plants are of neat habit, carrying velvety light 
green or lustrous bright green foliage and bearing handsome 
spikes of double rosette-like blossoms on fine stems. Vivid 
tones and soft shades of color to suit every taste are avail¬ 
able. Only single flowered Stocks bear seeds, so no double 
strain can be reproduced without a small percentage of 
singles. Our seeds will supply a very large proportion of 
true doubles. 
DWARF TEN WEEKS. (hA). 12 inches. This early class 
forms dwarf compact plants that are excellent for edgings 
or low beds. They often do well in sections where plants 
of the later types cannot be grown. 
White Canary Yellow Lavender Purple 
Bright Pink Crimson Mauve 
Any of above: Pkt., 10c. Mixed, pkt., 5c. 
BEAUTY OF NICE. (hA). 16 inches. A type developed on 
the French Riviera. It follows the Ten Weeks class in sea¬ 
son of bloom. The plants are pyramidal in shape, branching 
above the base. This sort is excellent for bedding and for 
cutting. 
Canary Yellow Lavender Old Rose Salmon King 
Chamois (Aurora) Light Pink Purple White 
Crimson Mauve Rose Pink Mixed 
Any of above: Pkt., 10c. 
PERPETUAL BRANCHING. (hA). 20 inches. Sometimes called 
Dresden, or "Cut-and-Come-Again." This variety is some¬ 
what later in season than Beauty of Nice, and in the North 
it should be started very early. The plant branches near 
the base, producing large flower spikes on long clean stems. 
Canary Yellow Mauve Rose 
Crimson Old Rose White 
Lavender Purple Mixed 
Any of above: Pkt., 10c. 
GIANT IMPERIAL. (hA). 2 feet. Long stems and imposing 
spikes of large flowers make this the outstanding variety 
for florists. It is about as early as Beauty of Nice and re¬ 
sembles it in habit, except that the plant is somewhat less 
spreading and considerably taller. "Pure line" breeding has 
made our strains unsurpassed in percentage of doubles. 
Either for greenhouse or garden they are excellent. Mixed, 
pkt., 10c. 
GIANT WINTER BROMPTON. (hhB). 2 feet. This is a later 
blooming, branching plant which produces huge spikes. For 
use in the open it is valuable only in mild climates. In 
northern latitudes where the season is short it must be 
taken inside at the approach of killing frosts. 
Egyptian. Soft rose. Mixed. 
Pkt., 15c. 
TALL MAXIMUM. 3 feet. Huge 
spikes with large individual 
blooms. Because of their height 
they require staking. 
Copper, Copper King. 
Crimson. 
White, Snowflake. 
Pink, The Rose. 
Yellow, Canary Bird. 
Any of the above: Pkt., 15c. 
Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
INTERMEDIATE MAJUS. 2 feet. 
Graceful spikes of large flowers 
closely placed on stems of me¬ 
dium length. The spikes are not 
quite so spindly as the taller 
sorts. 
Brilliant Rose. 
Crimson, Crimson King. 
Pink, Venus. 
Scarlet, Defiance. 
White, Queen Victoria. 
Yellow, Golden King. 
Any of the above: Pkt., 10c.

EARLY AUTUMN GLOW IMPROV¬ 
ED. Outstanding in 1934 trials 
as the earliest and thriftiest of 
this type. Extremely handsome. 
The color is soft old rose tinged 
with buff and salmon. We rec¬ 
ommend it unreservedly for ev¬ 
ery section where rust is not 
serious. Pkt., 10c. 
GIANT BEDDING. 1 8 inches. These 
plants require no support. 
Though the stems are relatively 
short, the spikes are very hand¬ 
some and the Majestic strains 
bear blossoms equal in size to 
the Maximum group. 
Crimson, Crimson Eclipse. 
Pink, Philadelphia. 
Rose, Rose Eclipse. 
Scarlet, Dazzler. 
White, Purity.
