HARROLD 
An Extended Harrold Service. 
This folder is the first in a new series which we have been planning for a long time. It is our hope to extend the scope of 
our past trade literature with them so as not only to bring to your attention, stock as it becomes seasonable, but in the near 
future it is hoped that we may devote a goodly portion of these folders to topics which will be of general interest and value. 
At the moment publication schedule will be every other month with the intention of getting on a monthly schedule within a 
few months. In the beginning it may not be possible to cover every name on our files with each issue so we ask that those who 
want to receive every copy as published, let us know and your name will be placed on a prefered mailing list. We will also 
welcome any suggestions or short items and trade kinks which might prove of general interest. Byline credits will be given 
for any such material. Issues will not be released in January as our spring general catalogue will appear that month. The 
Pansy Annual will as usual appear in late June or July and no issue will be released thereafter until in September. 
PANSY PLANTS 
In the milder sections of the United States, Pansies make 
a most desireable winter filowering subject. They will give a 
nice lot of flowers even where subjected to quite heavy 
frosts during the winter and once frost is past a very fine 
display may be depended on early in the season. In these 
localities NOW is the time to sell and set these. 
In more northerly localities, now is a good time to trans¬ 
plant Pansies into cold frames where glass or shading frames 
will afford light protection during the winter and next, 
spring you’ll have that early blooming stock when the dem¬ 
and and price is good. BETTER ORDER THOSE PANSIES 
TODAY. 
Harrold’s Pedigreed Strain 
From Seedling Bed 
Each year we grow and ship hundreds of thousands of the finest 
Pansy plants. Not only are these the finest obtainable in strain 
quality, but they are the remarkably robust plants that our years of 
Pansy specialization has taught us to grow. The faU shipping is now 1 
under full way and by the time you receive this price list we will be 
making shipments to any part of the United States. 
As we have a very mild winter here, our shipping schedules are 
interrupted but slightly throughout the winter months. It will be 
a decided advantage, however, to fill up your sales beds this fallJ 
Not only will this give you a better stock for retail sales than by 
waiting until late winter or spring; but you will be sure of having 
the stock when needed. We have not finished a spring shipping 
schedule in the past ten years that our stock was not exhausted 
before all our customers had been supplied.

This group is available as follows in field grown seedlings only 
The selection in this group has been somewhat reduced this year 
conforming with sales records of the past two seasons. While the 
selection is not as varied, these are the varieties that have stood up 
in popularity. See our Annual for descriptions.

It is because of this rather wide variation of shipping weight 
that we are unable to quote delivered prices. It is also for this 
reason as well as lack of safety that parcel post shipment of plants 
is not advised. Railway Express is just as cheap and much the safest. 
Also transport charges may be made collect without any additional 
fees or charges and you pay only the second class rate on the actual 
number of pounds transported. We do not supply plants in flats. 
For a complete description of the Pansy varieties listed 
in this list please see enclosed folder, or better still the last 
edition of our Pansy Annual. Free copy gladly supplied if 
you haven’t one. 
VIOLA PLANTS 
This group of stock is open field grown the same as our Harrold’s 
Pedigreed strain Pansy plants and this resiilts in the same fine plant 
with heavy roots. Only one size is available which is summer sown 
just as soon as newly harvested seeds are ^available. They are a nice 
size for transplanting and handled the same as Pansy plants they 
can be brought into nice flower for spring sales.

as we were one of the first seed specialists to recognise their value. 
We stock only the original Macdonald strain of seeds and these 
plants are of course grown from them. If you have not already done 
so, you should give these a trial; whether you use these plants or 
let us supply you with seeds to plant.

250 OF A VARIETY AT THE 1,000 RATE 
Less than 250 of a variety will take the 100 price regardless of 
the quantity of the entire order. The 3,000 price may be applied to 
orders aggregating 3,000 or more providing no item included in this 
rate is for less than 1,000 plants. 
All our Pansies are grown in open field beds 
The shipping weight of Pansy plants will vary a good deal. The 
reason being that as the various plantings become available there is 
usually a sharp change in weight. Also, shipping weight will vary 
widely with the moisture content of the soil at time of digging. We 
ship all plants bare root, wrapped in a special paper wrapper and 
Spagnum mos»—to assure fresh arrival—soil moisture has a great 
deal to do with the amount of soil that still clings to the roots. We 
assure you that shipping weight will be kept as low as conditions of 
safe delivery will permit 
FLORISTS’ GREENHOUSE VARIETIES

DELPHINIUM PLANTS 
These Delphinium plants have been planted immediately 
upon arrival of the 1940 crop seeds and having been grown in 
sandy loam soil, they are nice plants that should bloom 
early next summer if given half a chance. In southern local¬ 
ities we recommend planting right out in the garden. In the 
north they should be potted up or transplanted in glass 
covered cold frames. They will make nice spring sales stock 
if potted and carried in a cool greenhouse until spring. 
Vatterle & Reinelt’s Original 
PACIFIC GIANTS 
This exquisit group of stock has developed a wide popularity in 
a very short space of time and we believe that this is entirely deser¬ 
ved. The more we work with this group the better we like it. The 
form and coloring is the grandest ever offered in Delphiniums and 
its resistance to mildew makes it most valuable where this trouble is 
experienced. Florets are of grand size and texture, and the flower 
spikes are stately in form. In fact there is more beauty and practical 
value in this group than any other Delphinium we know of today. 
We have probibly one of the most complete assortments of these 
varieties available at wholesale today. In fact this offer includes all 
V. & R., varieties available from 1940 series seeds. Our stock is not 
inexhaustable, however, and for this reason it is advisable that we 
have your order for these soon. We don’t expect available stocks 
in some varieties to last long. CONSIDER YOUR NEEDS TODAY.

PERENNIAL PLANTS 
1940 Planting 
These are recommended to the southern grower and gardener for 
planting out in the open garden now. In localities where the weather 
is severe, they may be bedded or potted in a cool or cold greenhouse, 
cold frame or protected bed—to grow into stock for spring sale! 
These are just a nice size for transplanting or potting and we sell 
thousands of them each spring to our own retail customers for garden 
planting.
