PLANTS READY TO SET IN YOUR GARDEN 


Grown From Select Tubers 
These quality plants are ready to plant out on arrival. They may be potted for 
indoor culture or set after danger of frost in your garden is past. No other flower 
will give so much beauty in your yard beds, porch or window boxes or hanging 
baskets. Their cultural requirements are partial shade or even full shade if light is 
given. The successful culture is fully covered by our booklet which will accompany 
every shipment of either tubers or plants. 
These tuber grown plants are grown from tubers that flowered before harvest last 
year and except during the earliest part of the shipping season some plants may be 
showing buds on arrival. They should not be confused with seedling plants that are 
most commonly offered at this time of year for they will flower earlier and longer, 
give more flowers because of the more robust plant growth. The flowering season on 
these if planted in May should, with suitable culture, extend from late June until 
frost. Shipping season on these will be from now until the end of July; or until stock 
becomes exhausted. 
SAFE DELIVERY ALMOST ANYWHERE | 
While we have been shipping this material for many years, 1948 was our first 
season of shipping on a national scale. We were hesitant to extend shipping opera- 
tions beyond 1500 miles from the gardens but with the development of advanced 
packing methods we have been able to ship to East Coast points with reports of 
perfect arrival. One gardener in Rochester, N. Y. reported “had I not known this 
shipment had been on the way for six days I would have ‘thought it had been packed 
the morning it arrived.’ We feel that experience gained in shipping more than 1500 
of these orders last year indicates they will arrive as safely as any other plants 
commonly delivered by mail. 
THIS IS YOUR BEGONIA YEAR! Bante Pits = atid 
ORDER YOUR PLANTS NOW! ! A plant of Begonia, Camellia Flowered Giant Double. These are 
by far the most popular type and deservedly so because of 
their huge flowers brilliantly contrasted with the foliage. 



HARROLD’S - As Near As Your Own Mail Box 
Harrold’s service is as near as your own mail box. Every price in 
this catalogue is prepaid to your door no matter where you live in the 
United States. We ship seeds to any part of the world and bulbs anywhere 
that export regulations will permit. We require that foreign customers 
supply customs invoice forms and import permits where required and 
will take no responsibility for regulations outside the U. S. A. 
We have been shipping horticultural products for nearly 50 years 
and this experience along with cultural know-how is all at your service 
for the modest prices quoted herein. We’ll look forward to serving you. 
REMITTING FOR ORDERS 
Remittance must accompany all orders. We do not ship anything 
C. O. D. Remit by check, money order, postal note or draft made payable 
to HARROLD’S. Sending currency is strictly at your risk. It is not 
safe for if lost in the mail it seldom can be recovered. 

PLEASE ORDER EARLY IF POSSIBLE 
The shipping of these plants and tubers is controlled by weather, 
growth and demand. The ordering of specific selections for early planting 
should be done just as early in the season as possible. We will ship all 
orders in the sequence of their arrival as rapidly as the development of 
the plants will permit. Our plantings are planned to give a large supply 
of plants from the beginning of May until the middle or end of July or 
later depending on how the stock meets the demand. Tubers may be 
sent promptly at this time of year. Seedlings are available from now 
until the end of June. You will help us to serve you better by anticipat- 
ing your planting and ordering early. 
We suggest that you give specific instructions about substitution in 
case of shortage. In the event no instructions are given we will use our 
best judgment sending the nearest substitute available. Our stock is large 
and we believe well balanced to the demand so we don’t expect much 
substitution to be necessary.
