NOVELTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS 
All gardening enthusiasts are more or less interested in something new in the floral world, and for this reason 
we keep in touch with all new introductions as they appear from year to year. These novelties and specialties 
have been selected by us as having a good claim to merit and are well worthy of a trial. 
Each year a group of horticultural experts makes a careful study of new floral novelties produced by plant 
breeders from all over the world. The final decision of this committee on each year’s novelties is known as the 
All-America Selections for that year. The following list, is the selection of the newest in flowers for 1939,
