LIBERALIZED FREE AIR-MAIL SERVICE ON SEEDS

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 
© 1934 is eight inches in diameter. Compare flower size. 

THE COST OF SEEDS 
The difference in the cost of HARROLD’S PEDIGREED STRAIN SEEDS and 
common, run of the mill stock is so slight, considering the larger costs of growing 
labor, that using them is an economy. Their potential for good results, when 
given good culture makes them an outstanding value. 
Starting with the best of seeds is the first step in profitable production but it 
must be remembered that the best of seeds will give satisfactory results only with 
proper culture. May we co-operate with you in making this a season of good 
results and profits?

Harroldi Pedigneed Strain 
Hi i tt Nl 
Ad Tl ih. il 
Fill 
iva VoVE 
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 75 as he has 
been for over forty-five 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 thirty years. 
Many of these are of special purpose 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 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 
prices comparative. Quality considered you should find it worthy of your careful 
consideration. We hope we may serve you. 

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. 
OUTSTANDING MIXTURES 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANT ART-SHADES — A much improved strain 
of the variety Harrold’s Pedigreed Giants. Better color range, flower size and 
plant habit. The finest ‘‘Exhibition’’ type with lively colors, small center 
blotch and usually two zones of contrasting color, Also many self colors and 
penciled markings. Our largest flowering sort, having produced 5 inch blooms. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED SWISS GIANTS — Our latest and the finest ‘‘Fancy’’ 
type Pansy. The ultimate in flower size and color range in this type. Plants are 
compact and sturdy. Nearly all flowers have the large blotched center that is so 
characteristic of the Fancy type of Pansy. Heavy substance and velvety texture. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANTS — This outstanding ‘‘Exhibition’’ type was 
introduced by us in 1929 and has maintained its popularity through the years. 
Flowers are very large on compact, robust plants that produce a most varied 
range of bright colors. The flower markings are typically ‘‘Exhibition’’ type. A 
real bread and butter sort for the commercial Pansy grower.
