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 mix¬ 
ture, 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 ex¬ 
ceptionally well.
