 be available from your supplier. 



Fleuroselect, the international or- 

 ganization that tests new varieties 

 of seed-grown flowers, announced 

 its 1998 gold medal winners — 

 three bedding plants and three 

 cut flowers. The award recognizes 

 outstanding reliability, breeding, 

 and beauty. 



• Victorian Rose' {Impatiens 

 wallerana). also an All-America 

 Selection, is cited for its short cul- 

 tivation period, uniformity, and 

 long life. Here, however, the 

 flower's described as a "pink-red 

 double" that "contrasts superbly 

 against dark green leaves." 



• 'Prism Sunshine' [Petunia grandi- 

 flora), is another All-America 



Selection. It's noted that the "light 

 yellow " blossoms do not fade or 

 turn brown. 



• 'Daybreak Red Stripe' {Cazania 

 splendens], PanAmerican's new ad- 

 dition to its Daybreak gazania se- 

 ries, has the same compactness 

 and earliness for which the series 

 is noted Red stripes radiate from 

 the center over each deep yellow 

 petal. (The series has won other 

 awards: two cultivars have won 

 Fleuroselect's gold medal and the 

 British Royal Horticultural Society 

 recently named "Daybreak Bright 

 Orange " and Daybreak Garden 

 Sun" 1996 Award of Garden Merit 

 winners I 



• 'Sakata Seeds Champion Cam- 

 panula medium series has radically 

 reduced the flower's production 

 time, lit used to require two years 



in a greenhouse.) Along with a 

 shorter production time, 'Cham- 

 pion Blue" and Champion Pink' 

 have "wonderful flowers, impres- 

 sive uniformity, and high produc- 

 tivity" and are expected to in- 

 crease the popularity of campanu- 

 las as a cut-flower. 



• Last year, Klieft Seed's celosia 

 Bombay Purple' became the first 

 cut flower to receive a 

 Fleuroselect gold medal. This 

 year, Bombay Yellow Gold' {Celosia 

 argentea cristata). is honored for its 

 uniformity and refinement along 

 with its exceptionally short culti- 

 vation period and high yield.
