HARROLD’S PANSY GARDENS AND GREENHOUSES. 

HARROLD’S PEDIGREED PANSIES CONTINUED 
HARROLD’S ALL-AMERICAN BEDDING MIXTURE — This is a blended mixture 
of which 80% is from ALL the Harrold variety originations and the balance of 
20% is from the many other varieties which we grow or receive from other 
sources. This is a very useful, general purpose mixture and it is an outstanding 
value in the medium price range. Giant flowers and a very wide color range. 
HARROLD’S IMPROVED SWISS — Where a fancy ‘‘Swiss’’ type is needed at 
a price this one is to be highly recommended. Not as good as our Harrold’s 
Pedigreed Swiss Giants, of course, but it is not excelled by strains of this type 
offered as Super-Swiss. It is unusually suited in color, size and habit to the 
demands of the American market. 
NOVELTIES 
HARROLD’S GIANT ATOMIC DAWN: OUR 1949 NOVELTY — Something quite 
different in Pansies. Pastel shades of pink, delicate blue, light gold and apricot 
blending in many multi-color combinations including many orchid-like shades 
with exquisite flower form. A giant in this type but not as large as Art Shades. 
Markings are selfs, penciled and blotched. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED NOVELTIES — These are a blend of new types and 
colors from our breeding department. Recommended where the unusual is wanted. 
HARROLD’S SUNSET GIANTS — (NOVELTY) Sunset shades of orange, red and 
gold. Giant size in blotched and ray markings. Highly recommended, 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED POT PANSIES— A short, compact growing type 
adapted to pot and porchbox growing. Flowers very large and colors excellent. 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED CUT-FLOWER PANSIES— We have two distinct 
tyres of these and depending on the requirements of your culture and market 
either selection has a definite value and use. 
ORIGINAL STRAIN: This was our first type offered nearly twenty years ago. 
Growth is rather low but under glass the flowers are large and on stems 8 to 
10 inches long. Color range is more varied and they are completely as hardy 
as any bedding variety. May be grown out of doors. 
TALL SELECTION: These grow very tall for Pansies; up to 44 feet and stems 
are usually 10 to 16 inches long and quite stiff when greenhouse grown. Color 
renge is the best we know of in any of the really tall strains and flower size 
is quite good with proper culture. Plants of these will freeze at below 25 plus. 
FORMAL COLORS 
HARROLD’S AZURE GIANTS — THE FINEST intensely blue Pansy. 
HARROLD’S GOLDEN GIANTS — Deep golden yellow with velvety blotch. 
HARROLD’S RUBY GIANTS — Shades of red in the finest range. Very fine.

PANSY CUERURE 
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. 
Qvite 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 CF 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 hroadcast or in drills. For reasons cf eultivation and ease 
of controlling 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 4g 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 requirements. 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 protection if planted fairly early. 
SOIL:— Pansies may be successfully 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.

C. W. Harrold, the founder of our firm is still actively in charge of our breeding 
work and seed production at the age of 78. He has been working with Pansies for 
about 50 years and is the oldest living specialist breeder of Pansies in the United 
States now actively producing seeds and plants commercially. These are his babies. 
They are the finest selections of types for bedding found in a single mixture today 
and he has drawn on our best strains and breeding work to blend this all type 
mixture, We believe it to be the ultimate in a general mixture today. 

The color and type range of this mixture is by far the finest and most varied 
of any of the sorts in our line. In fact there is probably more than 800 colors, color 
combinations and markings in this blend. It contains many shades that are new to 
Pansies and as always the plant and fiowering habits are the most ideal so far 
rroduced. With proper culture we believe you’ll find these outstanding. Many 
groweis who planted them last season have made very complementary reports on 
their beauty when blooming this spring.
