FREE AIR-MAIL SERVICE ON SEEDS 
Our firm pioneered this extra service more than 15 years ago. In many cases it shortens the transit time as much as four days, and a week in some cases. There is 
not much saving in the first 750 miles for that is just one day away. As has been our past policy we will ship by Air-Mail FREE, any seed order arriving by Air-Mail 
accompanied by proper remittance in accord with our published sales terms. Excepted under this offer are seeds selling at less than $2.50 per ounce or $40.00 per 
pound, also C. O. D. orders are not included or shipments outside the United States. In cases where distance or time of shipment gives no earlier delivery than the use 
of regular mail we will use our best judgement. Please check your order over and make sure that it conforms to sales terms where this FREE service is desired. 
_ PLEASE ORDER IN TIME to allow normal processing and delivery by your planting date. Our office staff works a 5 day week and orders arriving after noon on 
Friday can not be forwarded until the following week. In cases of peak demand for short periods all shipping will go on a rotation basis in sequence of orders arrival. 
Always it is our wish to serve you promptly and well. 
PLANTS AND BULBS are not included in this Air Transport offer because of the weight to value ratio. Neither can we supply Air-Freight service at this time for 
there are no regular freight schedules. Air Express service can be supplied when requested but charges for this will be on a collect basis only. 

WE SUPPLY A 5000 WORD PANSY CULTURE BOOKLET WITH EVERY ORDER.

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.

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 78 as he has 
been for over forty-eight 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 witb 
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 shew cur-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. Quality considered, you should find these worthy of your careful con- 
sideration. We hope we may serve you. 

VARIETY DESCRIPTIONS OF 
HARROLD - ORIGINATIONS 
The following is a brief description of the PANSY varieties that have been 
originated 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 been our goal to see that they ARE NOT excelled. 
OUTSTANDING MIXTURES 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANT ART-SHADES— A much improved strain 
of the Harrold’s Pedigreed Giant variety. Better color range, flower size and 
plant habit. The finest ‘‘Bxhibition’’ 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 << Pancy, i 
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 grower.
