Having two years experience since the adoption of this form of trade list we are making improvements in its format in an effort to make it more 
useful to you. For the duration we shall issue only this series of folders scattered over the active seasons of the year. A copy of each edition will 
be mailed to all customers of record, as well as all tradesmen who have requested them in the past two years, as each issue is printed. 
As in the past, it will be our endeavor to offer in each issue the group of stock that is of immediate interest but it should be remembered that most 
seed items are available throughout the year. For that reason we suggest that you keep a complete file of these folders as by so doing you will have 
a complete catalogue of our stock at all times. In the event that copies become lost another can always be obtained on request. 
In regard to prices, we hope to maintain these as stable as market conditions permit and will try and keep these current in each list. In all cases, 
of course, the quotation on any group of stock given in the latest published issue will apply - subject to unforeseen market changes, taxes or govern- 
ment regulations which force a change in price. In such case these prices are subject to change without notice according to usual trade practice. 


This group picture shows specimens of our Harrold’s 
Pedigreed Strain Pansies. They are outstanding for 
their size and colorful markings. Bowl in this picture 
is eight inches in diamater. Compare flower size.

Now more than ever before the reputation back of seeds purchased 
for professional planting is of utmost importance; not only because of 
the necessity of making every bit of effort productive but also because 
in these changing times strains and supply sources are changing to the 
end that very often varieties supplied today under a given trade name 
may be quite different to those you have received in the past. This 
may be particularly true where your source is a dealer buying seeds in 
the open competitive market and who has no breeding or production 
experience or facilities. This situation often exists in the case of Pansies 
and Violas because of the general dependency of the dealer trade on seeds 
imported from European sources now shut off by the war. 

Here at Harrold’s we have been specializing in Pansies for fdérty-two 
years. We’ve always believed in the superiority of and promoted the 
American bred and grown varieties. A vast majority of these seeds we 
have bred and grown ourselves. Where this was not possible we have 
obtained the varieties which we did not grow fron other reliable 
American sources. Today our seed is virtually the same as that sent out 
before the war with improvement through added breeding work. There 
is NO other source of professional quality seed that is more identical to 
pre-war standards than Harrold’s Pedigreed Strain Seed. This applies to 
ALL seeds we offer with hardly an exception. 
As in pre-war days all varieties offered are SPECIALIST GROWN. 
Where we don’t actually grow a variety - and except for Pansies, Violas 
and Snaps there are many we do not grow - we obtain this stock from 
outstanding specialists of proven integrity and experience; specialists 
who are as experienced in these varieties as we are in Pansies. 
As in pre-war days we keep as close a check on the quality of the 
seeds received from them as on our own cultures. Constant germination 
tests are made and EVERY PACKET sent out bears our regular serial 
number enabling us to identify the contents of each packet leaving 
our warehouse. In addition we grow most of these varieties commercial- 
ly in our own establishment and make use of this operation to keep a 
constant growing check on this material under actual production con- 
ditions. These combined safeguards contribute to the high regard which 
Harrold’s Pedigreed Strain stock holds with hundreds of tradesmen 
and they can mean equally as much to you. We shall look forward to 
serving you this season.
