Tua Hundred Thousand Of The Finest 
AMERICAN BRED HARDY GARDEN GIANT PRIMROSES 

HARROLD’S Pedigreed GIANTS 
This is a new strain of Polyanthus Veris Hybrids on which we have been 
working for many years. The plants are compact and of robust growth while the 
flowers are born on stems often 12 inches long, well above the foliage. The flowers 
are large, often 2 to 3 inches across under best culture and they are born in heavy 
clusters from 4 to 8 inches across. In addition to their garden display they are 
an attractive cut flower. The color blend is outstandingly varied and brilliant and 
include yellow, red and purple of striking hue as well as the more unusual pastel, 
pink, blue, flame and bronze shades that are rare. 
NOTE: In planting mixed Primula seeds the color blend will vary greatly with 
your success in obtaining high germination of the seeds. Where germination is poor 
it is always the rare and finer hybrids in which mortality is heaviest. In extreme 
cases it has been known that the more robust, commoner types were all that sur- 
vived. We send out only seeds of tested and known germination and no effort is 
spared to help you obtain the finest results.

PRIMULA POLYANTHUS-VERIS 
HYBRIDS 
Here is a relatively new family which over the past few years has 
proven to be one of the most profitable items in our retail line. We 
believe that you too will find it very profitable and useful for they may 
be grown wherever Pansies do well which is in practically all parts of the 
U. Ss. The newer strains are more robust and while giving best results 
in ideal Polyanthus Primrose conditions, are much more tolerant of 
adverse conditions than the older European strains. We offer only the 
very best of the strains developed here in Oregon and Washington States 
and plants only of our own introduction, Harrold’s Pedigreed Giants. 
These Harrold’s Pedigreed Giants are returning us $2.50 and up per 
dozen from our retail trade and the home gardeners simply go wild over 
them after seeing our seed and display beds in full bloom. They are not 
difficult to grow from seed and plants require little heat during the 
winter months to devetop well for spring sales. A-night temperature of 
36 to 40 degrees will keep them coming right along and the plants we 
offer here will develop 3 to 4 inch stock that will each show some bloom 
hey will of course give your customers the finest results the

year following setting in permanent beds after they are established. 
Right now is a good time to plant seeds for plants to bed out next 
fall. Sown in flats and transferred out in shaded beds as soon as the soil 
warms up a bit in March or April they will make heavy blooming stock 
the spring of 1948. Now also is an ideal time to pot up the plants we 
offer here for sale this spring. Supply of both seeds and plants are at the 
moment quite substantial though from past experience we don’t believe 
in surplus. Better try a few of these this year! 
Newer American Kinds Are Best 
After § years breeding work with Primula polyantha and veris and their 
hybrids we believe this to be a group of the highest value to retail plantsmen. The 
newer strains thrive over a wider range of cultural conditions and are hardy in 
the U. S. almost anywhere. Modern strains are less exacting as to culture although 
they do best in situations that have always proven favorable. An eastern exposure, 
protected from noon and afternoon sun and drying winds; under light tree shade 
is ideal. Shaded coolness, ample moisture, good drainage and a medium light wood- 
land type of soil gives best results although good tolerance to less ideal conditions 
still assures pleasing results. They are ideal rock garden subjects and once estab- 
lished should not be disturbed over a period of 3 or 4 years. They are as hardy as 
Pansies and will winter under about the same conditions.
