DESCRIPTIONS OF 
THE HARROLD’S PEDIGREED STRAIN 
Line Of Giant Pansies 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED NOVELTIES: This mixture is 
made up from individual plant selections in our breeding department. It 
contains some of the finest specimens obtainable in the Pansy world today. 
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 properly 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 RUBY GIANTS: The finest selection of giant red 
Pansies we know of. Ranging from the red bronzes and orange scarlet, to 
brilliant deep mahogany. These are very desirable. 
HARROLD’S AZURE GIANTS: A brilliant blue companion to 
the above variety. Giant size and very early, producing quantities of large 
sized flowers on long stems. 
HARROLD’S GOLDEN GIANTS: A golden yellow companion 
to the above two varieties. Large flowers produced in profusion makes this 
sort desirable, and the distinctive dark center blotch adds much to its 
attraction. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED SW^ISS GIANTS: introduced by 
us in 1937 this is one of the most advanced strains of Swiss blood stock 
available today. Advanced in color, robust plant and early flowering habits 
it ofiers improvements which merit the wide acceptance it has enjoyed. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANTS: This variety we intro¬ 
duced nearly a decade ago and it has long proved its value to the trade. 
Its introduction marked a milestone in the breeding of Pansies of super 
giant size and today, modernized and kept up to date, it still is not sur¬ 
passed in this class. For robust, early habit, good flower stem and out¬ 
standing flower size and colors this sort is still tops. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANT ART-SHADES: 
A strain still further refined from our Harrold’s Pedigreed Giants. Retain¬ 
ing the major advances of the parent variety it is of remarkable value 
because of its color range which is still more varied, especially in the un¬ 
usual art coloring. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGEED GIANT ART-SHADES: 
ORCHID SELECTION- Still another strain from the origional Harrold’s 
Pedigreed Giants. This one is bred toward the unusual pastel and orchid 
colors and is remarkable for some of these colors, and the robust habit 
in this type of stock. 
HARROLD’S ALL-AMERICAN BEDDING MIXTURE: 
This is a composite mixture of varieties we make up exclusively 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 principal varieties and 
strains are periodically grown for comparison. This mixture is unsurpassed 
among the standard mixtures for the variation of types and colors contained 
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 appreciate this variety 
until you have given this strain a trial. Compact habit. 
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 that more modern 
stock can be sold in.

PANSY PLANT GROWERS 
GROWING HARROLD'S PEDIGREED VARIETIES 
UNDER ORIGINATORS AUTHORIZATION 
FROM GENUINE ORIGINATORS SEEDS. 
POPULAR DEMAND FOR THESE QUALITY VARIETIES HAS 
CREATED such a nationwide call for them that it has become necessary to 
make them available under the originators supervision through reliable 
and experienced plant growers at strategic locations throughout the United 
States. In perfecting this wider distribution, two factors have been held of 
prime importance. First we have endeavored to place these growing con¬ 
tracts with only reliable growers in order that the trade might be assured 
of quality plants. Second, each of these growers have contracted to supply 
plants under the Harrold name only from seeds which were supplied them 
direct from our gardens. 
Following is an index of varieties which compose the Harrold’s Pedigreed 
Strain line of Giant Pansies, keyed so that you can tell at a glance what 
varieties each of these grovvers can supply. The entire line is available direct
