HARROLD’S PANSY GARDENS & GREENHOUSES. P.O. BOX 29 — GRANTS PASS, OREGON. 


AT YOUR SERVICE FOR FORTY-FOUR YEARS 
| 
With this first offering of ‘seeds from the 1946 crop harvest we euter our forty-fourth year serving the critical professional florist and nursery trade wich seeds, pubs 
and plants that are grown expressly for the professional trade. The fact that we are serving over 6,000 tradesmen and the number is constantly growing speaks much 
for the success we have had in satisfying this critical market. Our future efforts shall be to continue and improve this service and to supply Harrold’s Pedigreed Strains 
of stock at prices that are attractive with the best possible service under all conditions. Now that the war is over we shall be able to serve you better by additions to 
our staff as well as by expanding the selection of stock that can be supplied. This season, however, is likely to find these improvements in both directions limited more 
than at first expected because of continued unsettled conditions of labor and supply channels. We’re doing everything possible toward these improvements but PLEASE 
give us a bit of cv-operation by allowing a reasonable time for shipment during seasonal peak rush periods. 
The supply of paper is less than at any time during the war and so because of this—- and because these smaller seasonal catalogues have proven valuable by keeping 
you better informed — we shall continue the policy of the past five years of issueing smaller catalogues more frequently. This enables us to place before you an up 
to date list of our line of stock when it is most seasonable and of the most interest It should be remembered, however, that a great many of these items, especially seeds, 
remain usable throughout a large part of the year. Because of this we hope that you will file each issue so that it may be easily consulted at any time you are in need 
of stock in our line. We hope to eventually make this a semi-monthly issue and possibly monthly as soon as conditions will permit. Lost copies gladly replaced. 
Prices quoted herein we hope to maintain throughout the entire crop season or if possible to reduce them. However, with the unsettled outlook for the next few 
months we must of necessity make all quotations subject to change without notice in the event of drastic changes in our cost basis for any cause. Seeds especially have 
not advanced in proportion to other commodity prices while plants and bulbs have more directly reflected the sharp advance in labor costs. It shall be our endeavor to 
supply you with the very best at prices that are reasonable in relation to general conditions. Quality, however, shall always continue to be TOPS.

HAH SVG, 
Pansies have always been a major specialty with us and our breeder and 
grower, C. W. HARROLD, is probably the oldest living Pansy specialist both in 
years of experience and age. He is actively in charge of this work at 74 as he has 
been for over forty years and to his efforts may be credited several firsts in this 
field. Through his efforts our gardens have introduced more new and improved 
varieties and strains than any other single breeder during the past twenty-five 
Groans, Many.of these are of special nurpose type which have been entirely exclusive 
with us. Our work has been entirely based on quality and price has been secondary 
in so far as any limitation of quality is concerned. Evaluation made on a basis of 
quality will show our prices to be economical as is proven by the constantly wider 
use of our seeds from year to year. We make no effort at competition on a strictly 
price basis and if you evaluate your purchases on that basis you will not find our 
stock in that class. Quality considered you should find it worthy of careful con- 
sideration. 

VARIETY DESCRIPTIONS OF 
Harrold - Originations 
Following is a brief description of the PANSY varieties that have been origi- 
nated and introduced by us during the past twenty-five years. Each variety is 
outstanding in its particular type and we do not believe that any superior variety 
is to be obtained in the market today. In breeding and developing this group of 
varieties it has always been our goal to see that they ARE NOT excelled. 

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
