would like to name an All-Time All-America Selection of our 
choosing of annual flowers. 
These selections have won assorted awards, some no awards at 
all,.since 1933, and some of them were introduced prior to the 
institution of the All-America Council.

these selections. Their placement on our all-time All-America 
Selections has been judged solely on their all-around merit as
