RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 
FOR YOUR SELECTION 
The All America Council has done most wonderful work 
during recent years in the introduction of new flowers. Its 
purpose is to present the best things of the year to flower 
lovers and to promote interest in the new, really worth¬ 
while varieties. We test recommended varieties for our sec¬ 
tion and when found adapted, we offer them to our cus¬ 
tomers. You will find many of the newer flowers listed on 
pages 24 and 25.
