This new race of Pansies will certainly 
please those fanciers who prefer their Pansies 
large in size, deep in color and velvety in 
texture. We feel proud to offer them as our fiftieth anniversary introduction. Description 
of necessity must be a comparison of some sort that many gardeners know. In this instance 
the most widely known strain of similar type would be the popular “Swiss’’ types although 
this new race is much improved and a decided step forward in the development of ‘Fancy 
Type” Pansies. AS much so as the “Swiss” race was at the time of its introduction. 
The plant habit of these Harrold’s Pedigreed American Giants is compact and robust 
bearing flowers with exceptionally long stems well above the foliage. They have foliage 
of bright green with huge leaves and the plants have proven to be of the hardiest consti- 
tution. They winter well, bloom early in spring after the winter rest and continue to 
bloom well into the hot weather. In fact they stand heat the best of any Pansy we have 
grown. Because of this a planting made in early spring right where the plants are to 
bloom usually results in an attractive bed right through the summers heat followed by a 
brilliant display as the cooler fall days come. Well resistant to the very few pests and 
diseases that affect Pansies. 
The flowers are very large - on a par with our famous Harrold’s Pedigreed Giant Art-shades - but 
the velvety deep tones set them apart from most other Pansies. There is a predominance of red in the 
color blend with many deep red shades or multicolor flowers that have red in the color combination. Blue 
and purple are of course represented in moderate numbers but it is the bronze and pink shades that 
attract the attention. Yellow is of course present but in balanced proportion and there is practically 
no white. Self colors have not so far developed to a noticable degree in this mixture. Many multicolor 
combinations, however, are entirely new. The seed and test beds of this variety have been a center of 
attraction in our nursery for the past two years.
