HARROLD’S PANSY GARDENS & GREENHOUSES. 
PANSY CULTURE 
AMOUNT OF SEED NEEDED: ‘Pansy seeds average from 21,000 to 26,000 seeds 
per ounce., Germination tests will run from the middle seventies to the high 
nineties but due to unavoidable losses in the normal process of cultural germin- 
ation you should plant an ounce of seed for each 7,000 to 10,000 plants wanted. 
Quite frequently we have reports of 15,000 or more produced from an ounce of 
our seeds but it is not safe to count on so high a production. 

GERMINATION PERIOD:— In July and August, conditions being reasonably 
good, germination will occur in 7 to 10 days. As weather becomes cooler the 
period will lengthen by 4 to 6 days. In the hot months percentage of plants 
produced by the same seeds will be less than during the cooler weather of the late 
weeks of the planting season and more attention will have to be exercised in the 
care given, especially in the matter of moisture. COMPLETE failure is easily 
possible with the best of seeds if they are allowed to become too dry between the 
time of planting and until germination has been completed. 
TIME OF PLANTING:— For commercial planting the grower usually starts in 
June with the cut Flower and Pot varieties or for fall and winter blooming 
stock used in the milder sections of the country. Generally the heaviest plantings 
are made in July and August. Where weather stays moderate, plantings may be 
made outdoors as late as October 20th with good results. Greenhouse plantings 
may be made in December, January and up to February 20th to obtain fine 
young stock for April, May and June setting. 
PLANTING:— Seed bed should be well prepared to a depth of 8 or 10 inches. 
See that bed is well watered before planting by watering for several days prior 
to sowing the seeds so as to store up as much moisture as possible in the soil. 
Seeds may be planted broadcast or in drills. For reasons of cultivation and ease 
of controling moisture, we plant in drills at the bottom of a miniature V shaped 
trench about an inch deep and 2 inches across the top. Planting in drills aids 
in cultivation after plants are up and this way of planting forms moisture 
reservoirs between the rows aiding in obtaining good germination in hot weather. 
Rows may be from 3 to 5 inches apart. Cover seeds LIGHTLY with pure granu- 
lated peat moss, peat moss and sandy loam or screened sandy loam. NEVER 
cover more than 4% inch deep DO NOT allow beds to become dry at any time 
during days of active germination. DO hold beds on the dry side after germination 
has taken place to avoid development of trouble with damping off. Beds will 
require protection from hot sun in the summer months until plants have their 
fourth leaves. Lath shading frames, burlap or similar material may be used. 
The above is for planting in ground beds or cold-frames. In hot weather we do 
not advise planting in flats although this may be done if careful attention is given 
to the more rigid cultural requirments, Planting in flats IS recommended when 
planting in winter indoors. Our cultural booklet accompanying all shipments of 
Pansies gives complete details of both types of culture. 
TRANSPLANTING:— Pansies should be transplanted but once by the commercial 
grower. This means the plants are twice transplanted by the time the blooming 
bed is set and more transplanting will reduce flower size and quality. You 
should NEVER transplant before the plant has at least six leaves; preferably 
8 to 10. If plants are to be wintered in outdoor beds, October and November 
transplanting is advised after the hot weather has passed and before severe 
freezing of the ground occurs, With light protection — evergreen boughs or 
shading frames; or such material as marsh hay or straw, Pansies will winter 
in open beds at temperatures many degrees below zero. They will stand down to 
ten degrees above without any protction if transplanted fairly early. 
SOIL:— Pansies may be sccessfully grown in ANY RICH garden soil that is 
WELL drained. They do best in a soil of good humus content and respond well 
to the liberal application of cow manure. A 4-12-4 commercial fertilizer will 
be satisfactory and blood meal or bone meal may be used properly with good 
results. An application of Ammonium Sulphate, one ounce per gallon of water will 
usually yield tonic effect in early spring but should not be applied too early or 
frost damage may result. Acidity should be pH 61% or Sudbury B,

HARDY PRIMROSES 
Polyanthus - Veris Hybrids 
Harreldi Pedigneed Giants 
Developed in our breeding department after many years intensive work, we 
believe this to be the finest in this type. The plants are pleasingly compact but 
of robust growth, usually about 8 to 10 inches high. Flower stems are 12 to 16 
inches under good culture setting the flowers well above the foliage. The flower 
heads, composed of many florets which are often individually larger than a silver 
dollar, are often 8 inches and more across. Coloring is the most brilliant of any 
Strain available in this type. While available in MIXED COLORS ONLY the blend 
contains yellow, red, purple and white in the more common shades plus pink, 
flame and bronze shades in pastel and poly-chrome combinations that are rare. A 
few blue shades are in the mixture. Marking of the flowers is just as outstanding 
with selfs, blotched and lace marked flowers.
