Although we receive hundreds of letters commenting on res ults given by HARR OLD’S PEDIGREED STRAIN PANSIES,, 
we havn’t said a great deal in our catalogues about them. While there are some, of course, that report trouble or unsatisfactory' 
results, the majority by far are expressions of the highest satis faction. Usually where unsatisfactory results are reported, a 
careful investigation proves the culture rather than the stock to be at fault. Finding what the trouble is helps the grower great¬ 
ly and usually assures better future results. 
While it’s impossible to print all of these letters in the very limited space available here, we have picked at random, letters 
that demonstrate the wide variety of climate and conditions under which HARROLD’S PEDIGREED PANSIES have proven 
satisfactory. Portions of letters covering order instructions have been eliminated of course. Names and addresses of the writers 
of the following letters can be supplied or the original letter can be examined at our office. We take this opportunity to thank 
all our many friends who have taken the time to make a report of their results, and, while we don’t solicit letters as testimoni¬ 
als, we are always glad to receive any report on results obtaine d. 
NORTH 
Greenland, New Hampshire. July Ninth. 
. . . I’m only a small grower of Pansies but I find every year 
since using your seeds that my trade in Pansies has Increased. This 
past season I could have sold a great many more if I had them

I want to say here in a few words how pleased I was when I saw 
my first blooms. We sold more Pansies this year than we ever did be¬ 
fore. I am not getting any seeds from any other firms this year for I’m 
planting all Harrold’s Pedigreed stock this year. . .

Ville Lasalle, Quebec, Canada. July 19. 
. . . I tried other seeds last year but am coming back to you 
as I find flowers from your seeds excell everything I have ever had for 
robustness, substance, color and length of stem. . .

Askov, Minn. July first. 
Here is another order for Pansy seeds. I sent two of the varieties 
I ordered from you some time ago to my Uncle in Denmark. My 
Father says that they raise some very poor Pansies in Denmark so, 
I thought I would see that they got some good seed and see if that 
would not help. . . 
Signed: H. M. 
Satisfactory results as reported by these northern growers 
certainly demonstrates the hardy habit of Harrold’s Ped¬ 
igreed Strain Pansies. They stand cold extra well. 
WEST 
Portland, Oregon. May fourth. 
We bought Pansy seeds from you last summer and had very good 
results. We did not grow heavily as it was our first experience with 
your stock. We have found the demand very great as our plants turned 
out very fine. We have worked up a fine wholesale trade and plan on 
planting fifty or sixty thousand plants for next years business. . .

. . . I bought a $1.00 packet of your Pedigreed Giant Pansies 
years ago (1934 I think) and still have a greatly admired bed of these 
I fear you would consider these decidedly inferior, but the compactness 
of the plants—their prolific bloom, length of stem, and excellent assort¬ 
ment of colors have pleased me very much. . . I’ve planted seeds 
from the original packet each year, and tho I don’t bother with per 
centages, germination was still good this spring (1940). Most of the 
young plants survive our winters, though temperature usually touches 
zero. . .

Hanford, California. January 17. 
. . . The Pansy seeds I bought from you last fall was very 
satisfactory. We have almost twice as many plants as we usually get 
from the same amount of seed and the flowers are beautiful. 
Signed: E. K. C. 
Harrold’s Pedigreed Pansies perform in their own “billy- 
wick” as well as in other climates. They’ve got IT. 
EAST 
Easton, Pa. July Eighth. 
I am sending a small order herewith for Pansy seeds. I only grow 
a few for my own planting and some of my special customers, but the 
ones I grew from your Pedigreed Art-Shades beat anything I have 
previously grown. They were wonderful in every respect. I had no 
trouble selling them. 
Signed: G. B. 
Richmond, Virginia. December tenth. 
We are sold out of Pansy plants, except what will be required for 
local retail sales. We had never before tried selling Pansy plants at 
wholesale, but found the demand for your strains extra good. The seed 
germinated fine this year and we were much pleased with our crop. We 
expect to have a larger order for you next season. 
Signed: L. S. B. 
Poland, Ohio. June 4, 1940. 
I want to take this opportunity to tell you how well I like your 
Pedigreed Giant Pansies. To begin with I had wonderful germination. I 
had over 600 plants from 1,000 seed packets and we had a bad winter, 
with 20 below zero. I used straw for mulch. A few personal contacts 
resulted in selling all my plants in short order. I charged 50 cents a 
dozen and I know I could have gotten more. Next time I shall. How¬ 
ever there was so much 25 cent a dozen stuff on the market I was well 
satisfied. The colors and size are wonderful. And such stems! I had 
lots of bloom 3% inches in diameter with 6 inch stems. My customers 
had nothing but praise for them. 
Signed: T. A. L. 
In the highly compeditive eastern markets Harrold’s 
Pedigreed Pansies turn in sales records. That’s what 
interests the commercial man. Are you participating? 
SOUTH 
Coral Gables, Florida. March 12. 
I wish to thank you for the shipment of Pansy plants, which I 
recently received in perfect condition. Although the plants were eight 
days in transit they did not suffer at ail. They are growing splendidly 
and giving the utmost satisfaction. 
Signed: L. H. C. 
Bradenton, Florida. July 26. 
. . . The Pansies I had last year from this same seed was the 
best in Manatee County. . . There are four or five other growers 
here but none of them planted Pansies. They all said they could not 
get the seeds up. I think all of mine came up. . . 
Signed: J. E. A. 
Tyler, Texas. June 30, 1939. 
. . . Pansies grown from your seeds this spring were enormous, 
many measuring 4% inches. People came for miles around all winter 
and spring to view the gardens and buy our plants and it was with 
pleasure we could say they were from Harrold’s seeds. 
Signed: E. W. S. 
In hot or cold climates Harrold’s Pedigreed Strain Pansies 
have definently demonstrated their superiority to the run 
of the mill varieties. At their reasonable price range they 
are an outstanding value that merits your careful con¬ 
sideration — It’s to your interest to give it.
