HARROLD’S 
RUBY GIANTS 
While this sort is not restricted to a single shade of red. 
it derives its name from the many deep ruby colored flowers 
produced. At least part of the flowers, however, are the most 
beautiful red bronze, orange, wine, maroon, and salmon 
shaded flowers ever produced in Pansies. And, as "Swiss” 
blood is the basis of this varieties breeding, most flowers have 
attractive blotches of contrasting color. These are not quite as 
hardy as some varieties, but with a little care they may be 
wintered allright in the open. Due to the rareness of the colors 
produced, and their appeal they are one of the most valuable 
varieties for retail sales.

Gentlemen:— 
Enclosed find remittance and order for Pansy seeds Harrold’s All- 
American Bedding Mixture. 
I was surprised at the resistance the plants I raised from your seed had, 
as far as the heat was concerned, this spring. We had a temperature of 104 
degrees as early as May 30th, and from that on the heat was excessive with 
only a little relief in June. My plants stood it until the latter part of June 
before giving up the ghost. They w*ere not shaded, but were planted thickly 
so that the foliage entirely covered the soil. I had not taken off the mulch 
but let them grow up through it. 
1 note in your Annual you state that the "Ruby Giants” are not as hardy 
as some other varieties. I could not see but that my plants from the Ruby 
Giant seeds were as hardy as plants from the other varieties obtained from 
you. We had a temperature last winter as low as 9 degrees below zero, and 
I don’t know that I had any loss. I covered the plants with a light mulch 
of excelsior, packing it around the plants, and they kept green under the 
mulch all winter. 
Very truly yours, 
Signed Miss. Mina Wright.

Dear Sir:— 
. . . Had wonderful success last season with your Pansies Pedigreed 
Giants. They stood the freezes and sudden changes, and lasted until I cleaned 
the beds for other plants. I’m sure that was in July. Every one raved over 
the gorgeous blossoms. 
Very truly yours, 
Signed Mrs. H. H. Clement.

and outdoors we found them unusually beautiful in coloring. 
Very truly yours,
