THIS PICTURE: Shows C. W. Harrold in a growing field of Harrold’s Pedigreed Strain, American 
Grown, Tuberous Begonias, Sept. 1953. The field in which he stands shows about 5 acres while 
Begonia cultures extend to beyond the second line of windbrake trees above his head. The 
climate is so favorable where these cultures are grown that as far as we know it is the 
only location in the United States where outdoor, open field growing is possible.

It is now time to consider placing your order for your Begonia Tubers for the 1955 
spring season and we are ready to make these bookings. The advisability of placing orders 
for this stock in advance of harvest is pressing for selections seldom remain complete be- 
cause of the fast growing popularity of these plants. Our wholesale stock is always limited. 
No better stock than Harrold’s Pedigreed Strain, American Grown Tuberous Begonias 
ean be obtained. They are backed by the most experienced growers in America, grown in 
a locality that is so favorable that culture is possible in open fields where most cultures 
must be in greenhouse or under lath. This is the only stock we know of that is so grown 
and undoubtedly this tends to develop a more sturdy constitution in this stock. 
In comparison with imported tubers, American Strains are more highly developed and 
give better results. The colors are most uniform, plant habit unexcelled and the bloom size 
and form has no equal.
