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 con¬ 
tains some of the finest specimens obtainable in the Pansy world 
today. Nearly every color and form that is most desirable is to be 
found 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, 1940 TALL 
SELECTION: Our improved Cut Flower strain. Plants grow as 
high as 3 feet and flower stems up to 14 inches. A good color range 
and good flower size. The best in this type. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED CUT-FLOWER PANSIES: A fine giant 
long stemmed sort. The original Cut Flower sort as originally 
introduced by us. 
HARROLD’S AZURE GIANTS: Our most brilliant, striking blue. 
The outer zone is brilliant live blue with darker center blotch, 
giving just the right effect for outstanding beauty. Giant in size 
and early, producing large quantities of flowers on nice long stems. 
HARROLD’S GOLDEN GIANTS: A golden yellow companion to the 
above sort. Large flowers produced in profusion make these most 
desirable. The velvety dark center blotch, contrasting with the 
intense yellow offers a most striking color contrast. 
HARROLD’S RUBY GIANTS: The finest selection of red Pansies 
we know of. A good color range with many of those deep ruby 
shades that are so striking. Good size and habit. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED SWISS GIANTS: Introduced 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 improvments in this type which 
well merits 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. The very peak in flower size. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANTS: This variety we introduced 
nearly a decade ago and it has long proven 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 is 
still 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: A composite 
mixture made up of seeds exclusively Harrold grown. Over 80% 
is Harrold’s Pedigreed Strain Varieties, while the balance is seeds 
of other varieties gathered from specimen plants in our test garden, 
where we periodically grow most other varieties for comparative 
purposes. This mixture is unsurpassed among the standard mixtures 
for the variation of types and colors produced. Only giant flowering 
sorts are included. A good generally useful strain. 
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 other strains of the “Swiss” family 
with which we have compared it to date. In spite of the many so- 
called “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 and the 
color range most varied. 
HARROLD’S OREGON MIRACLE MIXED: This is the lowest 
priced of the genuine Harrold bred varieties. With large sized 
flowers and its good color range, it is a sound value although of- 
course not as fine quality as more costly stock. It may success¬ 
fully be used as a competitor with any sort at near its price range: 
being superior to most stock in this price range. Do not, however, 
make the mistake of economizing through the use of a variety 
because it is cheap in a market where better sorts are indicated.
