HARROLD’S PANSY GARDENS & GREENHOUSES. 
Cut Blower Stechs 
DOUBLE GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
We were among the first seedsmen to recognize the quality and value of these 
two groups of Stocks and to offer the originator’s full line. We are more confident 
today that these will please you and be profitable. 

These are an improvement over the Improved Bismarck or Giant Imperial 
strains with stronger plants and large flowers. When set close (4 to 6 inches each 
way) they produce but a single terminal spike equal to the Excelsior Column type 
And if given more room they produce lateral bloom. The colors are quite distinctive

The New Early Colonial Type 
This new race of Stocks is of great value to the florist who wants heavy 
production of prime flower spikes over a moderate period of time. Tall and ex- 
clusively branching, they produce no center spike but branch at the base; produc- 
ing 8 to 10 spikes 30’’ long. They flower 2 weeks earlier than the perpetual 
branching types. Florets are double and 2’’ in diameter. Doubleness of the plants 
is about 70%. Highly recommended.

~ Pansy Culture 
AMOUNT OF SEED NEEDED:— Pansy seeds average from 21,000 to 26,000 seeds 
per ounce. Germination tests will run from the middle seventies to the high 
nineties but due to unavoidable losses in the normal process of cultural germin- 
ation you should plant an ounce of seeds for each 7,000 to 10,000 plants wanted. 
Quite frequently we have reports of 15,000 or more produced from an ounce of 
our seeds: but it is not safe to count on so high a production. 
GERMINATION PERIOD:— fn July*‘and August, conditions being reasonably 
good, germination will occur in 7 to 10 days. As weather becomes cooler the 
period will lengthen by 4 to 6 days. In the hot months percentage of plants 
produced by the same seeds will be less than during the cooler weather of the late 
weeks of the planting season and more attention will have to be exercised in the 
care given, especially in the matter of moisture. COMPLETE failure is easily 
possible with the best of seeds if they are allowed to become too dry between the 
time of planting and until germination has been completed. 
TIME OF PLANTING:— For commercial plantings the grower usually starts in 
June with the Cut Flower and Pot varieties or for fall and winter blooming 
stock used in the milder sections of the country. Generally the heaviest plantings 
are made in July and August. Where weather stays moderate plantings may be 
made out doors as late as October 20th. with good results. Greenhouse plantings 
may be made in December, January and up to February 20th. to obtain fine 
young stock for April, May and June setting. 
PLANTING:— Seed bed should be well prepared to a depth of 8 or 10 inches. 
See that bed is well watered before planting by watering for several days prior 
to sowing the seeds so as to store: up as much moisture as possible in the soil. 
Seeds may be planted broadcast. oy in drills. For reasons of cultivation and ease 
of controlling moisture we plant in drills at the bottom of a miniature V shaped 
trench about an inch deep and 2 inches across the top. Planting in drills aids 
in cultivation after plants are up, and this way of planting forms moisture 
reservoirs between the rows aiding in obtaining good germination in hot weather. 
Rows may be from 3 to 5 inches apart. Cover seeds LIGHTLY with pure granu- 
lated peat moss, peat moss and sandy loam or screened sandy loam. NEVER 
cover more than ¥g inch deep. DO NOT allow beds to become dry at any time 
during days of active germination. DO hold beds on the dry side after germination 
has taken place to avoid development of trouble with damping off. Beds will 
require protection from hot sun in the summer months until plants have their 
fourth leaves. Lath shading frames, burlap or similar materiel may be used. 
TRANSPLANTING:—Pansies should be transplanted but once by the commercial 
grower. This means the plarits are twice transplanted by the time the blooming 
bed is set and any moré transplanting will reduce flower size and quality. You 
should NEVER transplant before the plant has at least six leaves; preferably 
8 to 10. If plants are’to be wintered in outdoor beds October and November 
transplanting is advised after the hot weather is passed and before severe 
freezing of the ground occurs. With light protection —- evergreen boughs or 
shading frames; or such material as marsh hay or straw Pansies will winter 
in open beds at temperatures many degrees below zero. They will stand down to 
ten degrees above without any protection if transplanted fairly early. 

- 

SOIL:— Pansies may be successfully grown in ANY RICH garden soil that is 
WELL drained. They do best in a soil of good humus content and respond well 
to the liberal application of cow manure, A 4-12-4 commercial -fertilizer will 
be satisfactory and blood meal or bone meal may be used properly with good 
results. An application of Ammonium Sulphate, one ounce per gallon of water will 
usually yield tonic effect in early spring but should not be applied too early or 
frost damage may result. Acidity should be pH 61% or Sudbury B.
