PLATT’S FLOWER SEED 

ALL AMERICA SELECTIONS 
Each year growers enter their choicest new crea- 
tions in competition for the awards. Only a few 
each year receive the higher awards of Gold, 
Silver or Bronze Medals. In turn we endeavor to 
offer only such as we believe adapted to our trade. 
On this page there is room for only a few of the 
more recent introductions. Earlier introductions 
will be found on pages 43 to 60.
