Primula Polyanthus-Veris Hybrids 
HARROLD’S PEDIGREED GIANTS 


Developed in our breeding department after many years of intensive work we 
believe this to be the finest in this type. The plants are pleasingly compact but of 
robust growth, usually from 8 to 10 inches high under good culture. Flower stems 
are 12 to 16 inches with flowers well above the foliage. The flower heads, composed 
of many florets which are often individually larger than a silver dollar, are often 
8 inches or more across. Coloring is the most brilliant of any strain available in this 
type. While available in mixed colors only, the blend contains yellow, red, purple 
and white in the more common shades plus pink, flame and bronze shades in pastel 
and poly-chrome combinations that are rare. A few blue shades are in the mixture. 
Marking of the flowers is just as outstanding with selfs blotched and laced markings 
in the flowers.

Snapdragon Seeds 


The turnover in Snapdragon varieties has been so 
terrific the past few years one can hardly keep up with 
it. What has become of so many of the highly publicized 
sorts? Here we list a group of the old standby sorts 
that have proven good over the years and we still be- 
lieve that most of them have appeal to a lot of our 
florist friends, at least our demand for them would 
indicate this to be true. 


QUANTITY DISCOUNTS - Order 5 regular Trade Packets and deduct 10%; 
10 to 25 pkts. 15%; 25 pkts. or more 20%. No discount on the 4% packets.
