These All-America Winners were announced too late to be included in our catalog, but are just in time to be enjoyed in your 2013 garden.

What is All-America Selections? AAS is an independent, non-profit organization that began 80 years ago to conduct confidential and impartial trials of new, never-before-sold flower and vegetable seed varieties throughout North America. Entries are trialed in more than 50 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, grown side-by-side with currently available comparison varieties to evaluate garden performance, earliness, flower or fruit size or any other characteristic important to the home gardener.

The 65+ trial judges are horticulture professionals at universities, public gardens, extension offices, seed companies, breeding companies, retailers and commercial growers. Only the best trial performers that show superiority to their comparisons are declared AAS winners.
