HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Brilliant Zinnias for Every Garden 
Zinnias love hot weather, so they are particularly adapted 
to our American summers. They have great appetites, ap¬ 
preciating rich, well-fertilized soil and needing a moderate 
amount of water. Such growing conditions will produce lusty 
robust plants and gorgeous flowers for any gardener. Zinnias 
bloom for many weeks. 
The several classes which we offer fill many needs in the 
garden, last for days as cut flowers, and are all of choice 
quality. (hA). 
DOUBLE DAHLIA-FLOWERED. 2>/ 2 feet. Enormous double 
flowers are produced by robust branching plants. The flow¬ 
ers usually have slightly hollowed centers ringed with small 
tubular florets. The petals are quite loosely placed and 
tend to curl at the edges, giving the blossoms a crisp fresh 
appearance. Although the type is still unstable, most of 
the flowers are beautifully double. 
Canary, Canary Bird. Golden Yellow, Golden Dawn. 
Light Rose, Exquisite. Scarlet, Scarlet Flame. 
Crimson, Crimson Monarch. Lavender, Dream. 
Orange and Gold, Oriole. White, Polar Bear. 
Any of above: Pkt., 10c. Mixed, pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE LILLIPUT. 12 inches. A charming dwarf which is 
excellent for low borders or edgings. The plants are of tidy 
habit and produce a bounteous supply of very double pom¬ 
pon flowers about 11/2 inches across. The colors are bright 
and well varied. 
Canary-Yellow Crimson Scarlet 
Orange Purple White 
Salmon-Rose 
Any of above: Pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE GIANT. 21/2 ft. Plants are tall, branching, and vig¬ 
orous. The flowers are usually brighter than the Dahlia- 
flowered type and are nearly as large. Normally they are 
quite similar in shape, but the center is somewhat more 
elevated, and the rows of slightly convex petals are more 
regular, giving the bloom the appearance of being well 
shingled. This group will give great satisfaction. 
Canary-Yellow Crimson Orange 
Pink Purple White 
Any of the above: Pkt., 5c. Mixed, pkt., 5c. 
DOUBLE ELEGANS (Cut-and-Come-Again). 2 feet. These 
forerunners of the robust giant sorts produce relatively 
graceful plants adorned with fine double flowers about 2 1/2 
inches in diameter. They are quite dome-shaped and evenly 
double, and the petals are well overlapped. The colors are 
vivid, and these varieties are again returning to popularity. 
Bright Scarlet Salmon-Rose Golden Yellow 
Pkt., 10c. 
Verbena, Mammoth 
Sweet William - Dianthus Barbatus 
(hP). 2 feet. When the late Tulips are gone in the spring 
and before many other flowers are in bloom, Sweet William 
will ornament the garden with rich and varied color. The 
hardy plants form erect tufts and bear handsome broad clus¬ 
ters of blossoms like little Pinks with delicately fringed petals. 
SINGLE. F ine rounded clusters 3 or 4 inches across are com¬ 
posed of many disc-like flowers with overlapping fringed 
petals gayly colored and marked. Mixed, pkt., 5c. 
DOUBLE. Quite similar in habit and form to the single type, 
but the clusters are made up of many dainty double blos¬ 
soms. Less showy than the single sorts, but longer in flower. 
Mixed, pkt., 10c. 
Verbena 
(tP). Do you remember a sunny bare place that was an eye- ! 
sore in the flower border last summer? Or some other spot j 
that would have been improved by low-growing plants with a I 
dash of color? You will make no mistake by choosing Ver- ! 
benas for such a need in your next year's garden. These ever- , 
popular dwarf creeping plants produce a garnish of somber, 
dark green foliage enlivened by many fine clusters of star- I 
shaped blossoms with rounded lobed petals. The colors are i 
decidedly refreshing in their brilliancy. Though half hardy. 
Verbena should be used as an annual and will flower from | 
midsummer to frost from seeds started early in the spring. 
HYBRIDA MAMMOTH. 8 inches. Sometimes called "Gigan- 
tea." A choice selection of the large flowering strain which 
bears fine rounded clusters of blossoms. Individually they 
are of splendid size. 
Blue. Deep violet-blue with white eye. 
Scarlet (Lucifer). Flaming red. 
White. Exquisite pure white. 
Mixed. A superb blend of mammoth sorts. 
Any one of above: Pkt., 15c. 
HYBRIDA. 8 inches. The ever-reliable bedding type, very 
floriferous and producing clusters of fine blossoms of ex¬ 
cellent size. There is a wide range of colors—vivid pink, 
bright scarlet, deep violet-blue. Some flowers have light 
colored centers which make them distinctive. This variety 
is very desirable for rock gardens, as well as for low bor¬ 
ders, on account of the plant's trailing habit. 
Choice Mixed. An assortment of the vivid colors and inter¬ 
mediate shades. Pkt., 10c.
