DESCRIPTIONS OF 
THE HARROLD’S PEDIGREED STRAIN 
Line Of Giant Pansies 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED NOVELTIES: This mixture is made bp 
from individual plant selections in our breeding department. It con¬ 
tains some of the finest specimens obtainable in the Pansy world to¬ 
day. Nearly every color and form that is most desirable is represented 
in this mixture. Recommended where the unusual is desired. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED POT PANSIES: A short growing giant 
type, which, if grown in a cool, well ventilated house, will make fine 
individual specimen plants for pot or box setting. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED CUT-FLOWER PANSIES: A fine giant 
sort which, grown under similar conditions to those above, produces 
many fine flowers on stems 6 to 11 inches long. Wide color range. 
HARROLD’S AZURE GIANTS: The most brilliant blue Pansy. A 
very striking color. The outer zone is deep azure blue, while the 
darker center blotch gives just the right effect for outstanding beauty. 
Giant in size and very early, producing quantities of large flowers on 
nice l'ong stems. Excellent for formal plantings. 
HARROLD’S GOLDEN GIANTS: A golden yellow companion to the 
above sort. Large flowers produced in profusion makes this a most 
desirable variety. The dark center blotch contrasting with the bright 
golden yellow adds much to the attractivness of this variety. 
HARROLD’S RUBY GIANTS: The finest selection of red Pansies 
we know of. Ranging from the red bronze and orange scarlet, to the 
brilliant deep mahogany. These are most desirable. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED SWISS GIANTS: Intioduced by our 
gardens in 1937 this is one of the most advanced strains of “Swiss” 
type stock available today. Advanced in color, robust plant and early 
flowering habits it offers improvment in this type of stock which has 
well merited the wide acceptance it has enjoyed. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANT ART-SHADES: A strain still 
further refined from our Harrold's Pedigreed Giants. Retaining the 
major advances of the parent variety it is of remarkable value be¬ 
cause of its color range which is still more varied, especially in the 
unusual art shade colors. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANT ART-SHADES — ORCHID 
SELECTION: Still another strain from the original Harrold’s 
Pedigreed Giants. This one is bred toward the unusual pastel and 
orchid colors and it is remarkable for some of these colors. The plant 
habit is most robust for this type of stock. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANTS: This variety we introduced 
nearly a decade ago and it has long pioved its value to the trade. 
Its introduction marked a milestone in the breeding of Pansies of 
super-giant size and today, modernized and kept to date, it still is 
not surpassed in this class. For robust, early habit, good flower stem 
and outstanding flower size and colors this sort is STILL TOPS. The 
plant habit is robust but quite compact. 
HARROLD’S ALL-AMERICAN BEDDING MIXTURE: This is a 
composite mixture of varieties we make up exclusivly from seeds 
grown in our own gardens. Eighty percent are Harrold’s Pedigreed 
Strain Varieties, while the other twenty percent is composed of seeds 
from specimen plants in our trial grounds; where tests of other princ¬ 
ipal varieties and strains are periodically grown for comparison. This 
mixture is unsurpassed among the standard mixtures for the variat¬ 
ion of types and colors produced when compared with standard sorts. 
HARROLD’S IMPROVED SWISS: A Harrold bred strain of this 
popular variety that is outstanding in size and coloring, as well as 
being much earlier than any other strain of the “Swiss” family with 
which we have compared it to date. In spite of the many “Improved 
Swiss” and “Super Swiss” strains obtainable, we predict that you 
will not fully appreciate this variety until you have given this strain 
a trial. Plant habit is quite compact. 
HARROLD’S OREGON MIRACLE MIXED: This is the lowest 
priced of the genuine Harrold bred varieties. With large sized flowers 
and its wide color range, it is a sound value. It may successfully be 
used as a competitor of any other sort at near its price range; being 
superior to most of the stock in this price range. Do not, however, 
make the mistake of economizing through the use of this variety in 
a market where better sorts are indicated.
