HARROLD’S PEDIGREED PANSIES are noted for 
their ability to produce the largest flowers on robust, 
compact plants. Their coloring has never been surpassed 
KEEPING UP TO DATE 
Not only has our breeding department kept abreast of the 
field in breeding operations, but the past three or four years 
has seen many improvments in our growing, curing and 
handling methods. Just a few of these have included ad- 
ditions in our curing, storage and cleaning facilities. Every 
effort is made to handle the seeds, from the time they come 
in from the fields until they are placed in the mail for deliv- 
ery 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 best finish was installed. This 
process is the basis of the very high viability of all Harrold 
Grown Seeds. It also is the basis of their ability to stand 
long storage when necessary, without undue loss of viability. 
MODERN CLEANING EQUIPMENT 
The harvest of 1939 saw the first use of a new cleaning 
mill which has given much closer control over this phase of 
handling our seeds. With this new equipment 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 policy of seed grading. We were among the first, if not 
the first grower to adopt a definite standard of grading for 
Pansy seeds. This, of course requires very close control of 
the cleaning operation and with our present process we are 
able to control the size and specific gravity weight of our 
Pansy seeds within the limits of three seeds per grain or 
1/437th. ounce. This means that you receive nearly 100% 
perfect seeds. While there are fewer seeds per ounce in 
such stock, a larger percentage will grow and the resulting 
plants have that initial push needed to assure good results. 
Large, plump seeds like top size bulbs or husky plants give 
better stands; better plants and better flowers. When they 
cost no more, certainly you would not want second size bulbs 
in preference to top size would you?
