HARROLD’S 
PEDIGREED 
GIANTS 
This is our largest Super-Giant variety and the most popular 
of all the varieties which we have bred. The 1934 series 
offered here represents a complete re-breeding of what was 
already a pre-eminent sort with a long record of years of out¬ 
standing results. Reports which have been received from 
seeds of this 1934 series sent out last season certainly has 
affirmed our own judgment that this is one of, if not the most 
valuable Pansy available today. Below are a few points in 
which this 1934 series is improved over the well known 
parent strain. 
CHARACTERISTIC ADVANTAGES 
EARLINESS: The 1934 series is at least a week earlier 
flowering from seeds than any other so-called 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 4 3 4 inches across 
have been produced by this variety. 
PLANT IMPROVEMENT: These are numerous, but the 
most valuable is a more compact, upright form; with an in¬ 
crease of 2 5% in foliage size and texture. Of less spreading 
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 com¬ 
pact 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 hybrid types bringing about a 20 % 
increase in the past color range. 
FLOWER FORM: Retention of the round well placed form 
of heavy texture, characteristic of the parent, with a higher 
percent of ruffled and frilled forms, leaves little to be desired.
