adequate quantity. Usually a little domestic seed is ready 
by July fifteenth, but most growers do not reach the 
bulk of their harvest until August. Even by August first 
our seed harvest is usually completed. This condition 
applies to the Harrold originations and other sorts we 
grow ourselves. Varieties in the standard group which 
are obtained from other sources are subject to the same 
conditions experienced by other growers. 
KEEPING UP TO DATE 
Not only has our breeding department kept abreast of 
the field in breeding operations, but the past two or three 
years has seen many improvements in our growing, cur¬ 
ing and handling operations. Just a few of these improv- 
ments include additions in our curing, storage and clean¬ 
ing facilities. Every effort is made to handle the seeds; 
from the time they come in from the fields until they 
are placed in the mails for delivery to you, in the very 
best manner possible. 
Development several years ago of a new, original 
curing process, following natural laws and curing the 
seeds in a manner assuring the very finest finish was 
installed. This process is the basis of the very high 
viability of all Harrold Grown Seeds. It is also the basis 
of their ability to stand long storage when necessary, 
without undue loss of viability. 
NEW CLEANING EQUIPMENT 
The harvest of 1939 saw the first use of a new clean¬ 
ing mill which has given much closer control over this 
phase of the handling of our seeds. With this new equip¬ 
ment we are able to take out virtually all foreign matter 
from any seed. In addition this new installation has added 
to the accuracy of our grading of seeds. We were among 
the first, if not the first, to have adopted a definite 
standard of grading for Pansy seeds. This, of course, 
necessitated a very close control of the cleaning operat¬ 
ion and with our present process we are able to control 
the size and specific gravity weight of our Pansy seeds 
to within three seeds per grain of weight—1/437th ounce. 
This means that you receive nearly 100% perfect seeds.
