HARROLD’S 
IMPROVED SWISS 
The popularity of the “Swiss” types has been wide 
owing to the difference of type and colors which it produces. 
We find however, that it is late flowering, of plant habit 
not always ideal for American retail markets, and seldom 
found exceptionally true to type. Through strict breeding 
we have endeavored to eliminate these faults in the strain 
offered here, and we can say this year that we have more 
nearly reached our goal than ever before. We believe more 
nearly than in any other commercially available “Swiss” 
strain. 
Both 3 and 5 blotched types have been bred into this 
mixture, and it will be found pleasing in the proportion of 
each type to the commercial grower. Flower size is as large, 
if not larger than the original variety, and through our 
Harrold method of producing hybrids, many new colors 
have been added to its color range. Inclined to be a little 
on the dark side of the color chart, it however produces 
some very lovely light shades. Tests this spring show this 
strain a full 3 to 4 weeks earlier flowering than “Swiss” 
strains obtained from 3 other well known seed growers. 
Plant habit has been drawn down to a more compact form 
and they winter exceptionally well.
