The All-American CouneU and 
The All-American Selections 
The All-American Council has received over 250 supposedly new items 
which originators or distributors expect to release to the public as new of¬ 
ferings in 1935. The Council has taken upon itself the task of weeding 
out the inferior sorts or rather the selection of outstanding introductions 
from actual competitive trials in ten different sections of the United 
States. These winners or selections may be generally recommended to 
seedsmen and to the public. Trials during the year 1934, have come from 
about nineteen countries and as many states—around the world. The 
trials are planted in spring, some quite far north and it is about October 
first before reports on all trials can be sent in and the new selections de¬ 
termined by symposium of Council recommendations. 
Cosmos Klondyko Orange Flare 
The Grand Champion or 1st 
Gold Medal winner, 96^ 
points, is Klondyke Cosmos, 
Orange Flare. It is the only en¬ 
try that all judges voted for 
and at the head of their lists. It 
is an early flowering strain, 
blooming in four months from 
seed, marigold-like foliage, 2 to 
3 feet tall, bushy and deep bril¬ 
liant orange in color. 
Orange Flare is one of 
the most discussed and en¬ 
thusiastically admired 
novelties on the market 
today. Reports received on 
trials sent to various parts 
of the world confirm the 
results that have been ob¬ 
tained by the grower, that 
it is in full flower less 
than four months after 
the time it is planted. The color is a vi¬ 
vid orange, and the foliage an attractive 
light green. The stems are long and wiry, 
well adapted for cutting. The beautiful 
combination of bloom and foliage has 
the effect of a mass of color, hence Klondyke Orange Flare is universally 
and enthusiastically admired. Pkt., 20c: oz., $1.50; oz., $2.75.
