HARROLD’S PANSY GARDENS & GREENHOUSES. 

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 diameter. Conipare flower size. 


SELECTING PANSIES Continued 
know how to produce in its individual class. In mixtures the price range to some ex- 
tent is an index to the capabilities of the variety as to size of the flower and richness 
of the color range. The more expensive varieties are more highly bred and so more 
costly to produce. There are colors and combinations in these sorts not to be found 
in the cheaper varieties. In so far as the quality of the seeds is concerned, how- 
ever, this is always the highest that can be produced in all Harrold’s Pedigreed 
Strain varieties. We never grow seeds down to a price but always price to a 
quality. 
In bedding mixtures we consider our Harrold’s Pedigreed Giant Art-Shades to 
be the largest flowered. Flower type is predominantly ‘‘Exhibition’’ meaning that 
the center blotch is less than half the area of the flower and that this is surrounded 
by wile bands of lighter colors; sometimes two or more. This type also carries 
some ‘‘self’’ colors (solid colors) as well as pastels with penciled centers and the 
duo-tone types. Color tones are light and brilliant. Our Harrold’s Pedigreed Giants 
(the parent of the Harrold’s Pedigreed Giant Art-Shades) is a variety which is 
older therefore a little less modern in size and color. The color range is, however, 
at variance with that of its progeny. 
Cur Harrold’s Pedigreed Swiss Giants we consider to be the finest available 
sort of ‘‘Fancy’’ type. This type is distinguished by its large center blotch (some- 
times covering more than three-fourths of the flower area) and the narrow band of 
color around the blotch. Shades usually run much darker than the Exhibition types 
because of the larger blotch and the near absence of the self colors. Also this 
type stock carries more reds, blues and bronze shades and less of the brilliant 
yellows and pastels found in the Exhibiticn types. The color blend of the two types 
is sufficiently different to make the use of both advisable for full variety. Our 
Harrold’s Improved Swiss is more closely held to the original Swiss strain color- 
ing with a bit smaller flowers and less varied color range. They are improved over 
the origins] Swiss strain as imported from Europe in that they have been bred to 
better meet our American growing conditions. 
Formal colors are of use only where beds are set to a planned color scheme. 
We have otered here the very cream of these colors and those that may be classed 
as truly giant. In growing this group it must be remembered that no separate 
color Pansy grown from seed can be depended on to be 100% true to color or 
marking and so it is always necessary that transplanting be done into selection beds 
from which true color and type plants are selected for the final display bed. The 
care in this selection depends on the uniformity desired and the color used but 
for such work it will be necessary to grow from twenty to fifty percent more seed- 
lings than will be used in the final planting. Our stock is as true as any we know 
of in this respect but the condition is universal. 
The novelties are either new and unusual or special purpose varieties which 
almost any fancier will find of interest to grow. Each is described here and so 
other than recommending them to you for their interest and usefulness we refer you 
to these descriptions. 
Their History, Culture and Habits. 
In order that you may grow Pansies easily and more satisfactorily we have just 
issued a new and much enlarged edition of our cultural booklet under the above 
title. As far as we know this is the most complete treatise on Pansy culture now in 
print comprising some 7,000 words of text describing the history and habits of 
Pansies as well as the most minute cultural detail both for the home gardener and 
the commercial grower producing plants in quantity. This booklet is FREE WITH 
EVERY ORDER for either Pansy or Viola seeds or plants. Those desiring this 
booklet alone may obtain a copy by remitting TWENTY-FIVE CENTS IN COIN. 
It will be mailed prepaid by return mail.

HARROLD’S PEDIGREED CUT-FLOWER PANSIES 
We have two distinct types of these and depending on requirements either 
selection has a definite value, 
ORIGINAL STRAIN: This was our first type offered 16 years ago. Growth is 
rather low but under glass the flowers are large and on stems 8 to 12 inches 
long. The color range is about as varied as regular bedding types and the plant 
is just as hardy as the bedding varieties. Suitable for outdoor growing where 
the stems may be a bit shorter, though satisfactorily long for bouquets. SEED 
PRICES: per packet, about 500 seeds, $2.00. PLANTS: after Sept. 15th., at 
the same price as our Harrold’s Pedigreed Giant Art-Shades. 
TALL SELECTION: These grow taller; up to 414% feet and stems are usually 10 
to 16 inches long and quite stiff. Color range is the best of any of the tall grow- 
ing strains and flower size is good under proper culture. The plants of this 
variety will freeze at temperatures below 20 above zero. Recommended out of 
doors only in mild climates. SEED PRICES: per packet, about 200 seeds, $3.00. 
NO PLANTS of these will be available this year. 



HARROLD’S 
ALL-AMERICAN BEDDING MIXTURE 
This is a blended mixture; 80% is from ALL the Harrold variety originations 
and 20% is from the many other varieties which we grow or receive from other 
sources. This is a very useful general purpose mixture and is an outstanding value 
in the popular price range. Highly recommended for general bedding. Flowers are 
giant in size and the coloring is most varied. 
SEED PRICES: Per packet, about 500 seeds, $1.00; 7; 0z., $1.75; 1% oz., $3.00;

unsurpassed in size and color, 
texture, hardy and robust plant 
habit and long flower stems. 
They are just as easy to grow 
and are much more interesting.
