MANY NEW THINGS FOR 1949 
With the New Year comes the time when the professional grower begins to look about for stock to meet his profitable spring season demand. Many 
items should be planted now as soon as stock can be procured and others soon will be seasonal. Specialist houses such as HARROLD’S are an ideal 
source for seasonal material of the finest quality for two reasons. In the first place we breed and grow a substantial number of our specialties from the 
breeding to the finished product and all of this effort is concentrated toward producing tke highest possible quality. Secondly where we do not actu- 
ally develop and produce an item that we catalogue you can rest assured that it is the product of another outstanding specialist in that particular field. 
Our operation is organized entirely on the production and distribution of these specialties in as direct a line from breeding to your cultures as possible. 
ORDER EARLY: Our operation and staff is steadily growing as it has for the past 46 years. In order, however, to maintain the meticulous care 
that we do in development and production, expansion is of necessity a matter of steady growth. Therefore you will help us to serve you better by 
anticipating your needs sufficiently to allow careful processing and assembly of your order. On seeds we will supply FREE AIR-MAIL RETURN on 
orders amounting to $2.50 or more arriving by air and accompanied by full remitance. This has been a regular Harrold service for more than 18 years. 

Plant These Now! 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS: 
While this has been a retail specialty with us for a number of years 
1949 is the first time that we have been able to offer our professional 
customers this stock at trade prices. Even this season dormant tubers 
will be restricted in quantity but we will have a good supply of seed, 
seedling plants and plants grown from tubers. 
DORMANT TUBERS: See our Harrold’s Review of November 15th. 
which has been sent to you. If it’s been lost ask for another copy. These 
are planted from now until the end of March for plants to sell this spring. 
SEEDS: Plant these now and until February 20th., the earlier the 
better. Planted during January they can be had in bloom in May or June. 
SEEDLING PLANTS: We'll have about 50,000 of these starting in 
February, just right for potting up for spring sale. Order early. 
TUBER PLANTS: More costly but will bloom earlier. These will be 
offered in a later edition of this publication. 
(Complete 20 page instruction booklet with all orders) 
PANSIES: 
SEEDS: Now is a good time to plant for your main spring selling 
season. Seeds of these planted by February 20th. can be had showing 
bloom by Memorial Day or earlier on plantings made earlier than that 
date. These make excellent stock for spring sale and they bloom more 
freely during the summer than the fall planted stock. 
PLANTS: We have a few thousand of these from our fall plantings, 
possibly enough to meet the normal demand until early March. We can’t 
book to hold and will supply these as long as the supply lasts. See the 
Harrold’s Review of September 20th., 1948 for list of these.

Tuberous CGOsa Seeds 
Many professional florists find it very profitable to grow Tuberous Begonia 
plants for their bedding plant trade. Seeds may be planted from late December 
through February and bloom the same season. Where summers are cool the later 
plantings do well but if summers are hot it is necessary to make these plantings 
during the first half of that period so the plants will be well established during the 
cool days of late spring. The plants are transplanted twice and set out of doors 
after danger of late frost is past when they are about 4 or 5 inches high. Normally 
such plants will start blooming in late June or July and continue up to frost. 

The tubers they produce are lifted in the fall and may be used for pot plants 
the following season. The seeds are extremely fine and require careful: attention to 
culture in the early stages about like the culture given fiberous rooted Begonias. 
The entire detail is explained in our 20 page, 10,000 word culture booklet that 
covers all phases of this culture. A copy is supplied FREE with each shipment of 
seeds, plants or tubers and assures pleasing results with minimum care. 
These seeds we offer here are recommended because of the varied colors and 
types produced. They are the results of planned crossing by hand in our greenhouses 
and will contain practically every type now known as our collection consists of all 
the currently known types in the widest range of cntaen: In a planting of several 
hundred you will probably not find many alike. These seeds are packeted in 
regular packets containing about 750 seeds from which, with good luck you may 
produce upwards of 400 plants. The price is $2.50 per packet; 3 packets for $5.00; 
10 packets for $15.00. 
SEPARATE TYPE SEEDS: We can also supply Camellia type, Carnation type 
and Crispa type seeds separate as to type but mixed colors. These are packeted 
about 500 seeds to the packet. Price is $2.50 per packet; 3 packets for $6.00. 
IT IS SUGGESTED that you grow some plants from tubers for early bloom so 
your customers can see what these flowers are like at setiing time. You’ll also 
find the growing of plants from tubers for sale to be prof table. A full list of these 
will be found in our Harrold’s Review mailed to you November 15th, If you have 
mislayed it another copy can be obtained on request. This is one group of stock 
you will want to try out this spring for its popularity is growing fast.
