HARROLD’S PEDIGREED 
AMERICAN GIANTS 
This new race of Fancy Pansies will certainly please those fanciers who 
prefer their pansies large in size, deep in color and velvety in texture. 
Description must of necessity be by comparison with something that many 
people know. In this case probably the most widely known basis of compar- 
ison would be the popular ‘‘Swiss’’ types of Pansies although this new race 
is so much improved as to be as much of a step forward in improved Fancy 
Type Pansies as the ‘‘Swiss’’ type was when it was introduced. 
Plant habit is compact and robust with the flowers on exceptionally long 
stems. Foliage is bright green with the huge leaves apparently of the hardiest 
constitution. Takes heat well and appears to be free of any disease or pests. 
The flowers are very large - on a par with our famous Harrold’s Pedigreed 
Giant Art-Shades - but the velvety deep tones set them entirely apart from 
the average Fancy Pansies. The predominant shades are red or have some red 
in the color combinations, A few brilliant blues and purples are found and 
bronze and pink shades will be found. Yellow is in limited ratio and practi- 
cally no white. Self colors have not so far developed in this group. Many of 
the multicolor combinations are entirely unseen before in Pansies. These 
have been the center of attraction in our test and seed gardens without 
competition.
