This 1935 Annual 
In presenting this edition, the seventh since our offerings have been 
assembled into an annual catalogue, we supply you herewith the largest 
and most complete issue we have ever published. It has been our endeavor 
as in past years to constantly keep you informed of the finest Pansies avail¬ 
able in the American market and this season our complement of varieties 
is the most complete we have ever offered. In fact, we believe it to be the 
most complete, and one of the most outstanding collections of varieties 
available from a single specialist source in this country today in the strictly 
Giant varieties. 
Our HARROLD’S PEDIGREED STRAIN LINE OF PANSIES we be¬ 
lieve to offer the ultimate in variety, strain quality, seed value, and reliability. 
Of the eleven varieties in this line each is the result of many generations of 
Pedigreed line breeding in our own gardens. Each has a definite use and 
value. Each is bred and grown for a specific class, or special use; and in their 
field they are, we believe, unsurpassed. 
Many of you who receive this annual do not have to be told of all these 
merits as you have grown the HARROLD’S PEDIGREED STR.AIN 
varieties for years and know their high value. Manyof you continue to grow 
them after many years acquaintance so that evidently you are finding them 
of value. We take this opportunity to thank the many friends who have 
written to us telling of your success with the stock we supply. We appreciate 
the confidence and good will as well as the high praise extended in many 
of these letters. We also acknowledge the receipt of a few complaints and 
critical letters. While these have been exceedingly few in number we trust 
that we have answered all, or adjusted matters taken up in a completely 
satisfactory manner. That is our intention at least, although most of such 
cases have originated from conditions over which we had no control. 
We appreciate the generous support the trade as a whole has given us in 
past years, as it has been this support that has enabled us to continue our 
experimental and breeding work which has lead to the development of our 
product, and its elevation to the excellent position which it holds among 
the professional tradesmen today. 
If you are not acquainted with our Pansies we suggest that you give them 
a trial this year if only in a modest way. We feel confident that you will find 
these Pansies superior to many varieties of equal cost, and no doubt you 
will standardize on them in future years as so many of our old patrons have 
in the past. May we look forward to your commands to be of service in the 
near future. 
The Harrold Line Of Pansies 
A PEDIGREED BACKGROUND OF BREEDING 
The eleven varieties which compose the HARROLD’S PEDIGREED 
STRAIN LINE OF PANSIES are the results of many generations of 
pedigree line breeding under the care of a specialist of over 30 years ex¬ 
perience. In addition these varieties are subjected to the following pro¬ 
cesses which have been developed with much labor and cost, in order that the 
element of chance so far as the seed growing operations are concerned 
would be eliminated as nearly as humanly possible. 
GERMINATION AND GARDEN TESTED 
Our HARROLD’S PEDIGREED PANSIES are garden tested every season 
to determine the quality of each individual lot of seeds from which we make 
shipment. Also they are tested comparatively with the principal competitive 
varieties in order that a check of their merits can be intelligently determined. 
During the harvest and shipping season, lots from which shipments 
are being made are germination tested at sufficiently frequent intervals so 
that all seeds shipped have been checked within at least 30 days prior to 
shipment. At time of tests each lot must have met our high standard before 
it is released for shipment.
