HARROLD’S 
PEDIGREED 
GIANTS 
-THE OUTSTANDING 1934 SERIES' 
HERE IS REALLY SOMETHING NEW! Not alone in the Pansies 
themselves, but also in the method of introduction. Our Harrold’s Pedi¬ 
greed Giants as supplied to the trade since 1929, have been outstanding in 
the super-giant class; unsurpassed, if not the absolute finest. Many growers 
in other countries as well as the U. S. A. have attested to this assertion 
through the many unsolicited letters received in praise of this variety. 
Breeding and improving work has been going on apace every since its 
introduction as is usual with all of our stock. Four years ago however, one 
exceptionally outstanding mutation appeared in this variety which showed 
great promise. Segregated for breeding purposes, and subsiquently devel¬ 
oped, this mutation has resulted in the most outstanding advance of our 
more than 30 years work with Pansies. We offer here the resulting seeds. 
Now here is the newness in the method of introduction. Although 
f his variety is sufficently improved and outstanding that it would undoubt¬ 
edly be offered by many as a new variety - or at the least a “SUPER” strain 
yet we are going to place it at the disposal of our patrons as superceeding 
our regular Harrold’s Pedigreed Giants as supplied last season. And, in¬ 
stead of placing a high introductory price on them, we are pricing them 
so you can’t afford to overlook them. Prices are advanced only $1.00 per 
ounce over last seasons, sr.d are in direct competition with all high qual¬ 
ity specialist grown sorts. This is being done in appreciation of the valued 
wide acceptance accorded the parent variety, and the result of having with¬ 
held introduction until we could offer our patrons the advantage of mass 
production and distribution. 
SIX POINTS OF IMPROVMENT 
EARLINESS: The 1934 series is at least a week earlier 
flowering from seeds than any other socalled early variety 
which has been tested against it here in our gardens. 
FLOWER SIZE: Is at least 20% larger on an average 
than the 1932-33 series, with a 10% increase in maximum 
size produced by the former series. Flowers 4f inches across 
have been produced by this variety. 
PLANT IMPROVMENT: These are numerous, but the 
most valuable is a more compact, upright form; with an 
increase of 25% in foliage size and texture. Of less spread¬ 
ing habit it fulfills our belief that increased flower size must 
be accompanied by stronger plants to be of value. 
LONG STEMS: More robust plants have naturally 
produced heavier stems; but, unlike usual expectation, the 
more compact plant habit has not resulted in a shorter 
stem. In fact stems average about 15% longer than in the 
parent, with 5 to 10 inch stems when well grown. 
COLOR RANGE: This has been greatly brightened by 
the addition of many new hybride types bringing about a 
20% increase in the past color range. 
FLOWER FORM: Retention of the round well placed 
form of heavy texture of the parent, with a higher per-cent 
of ruffled and frilled forms leaves little to be desired.
