The firm of MAX SCHLING Seedsmen, Inc., 
has decided after 10 years of All-America Selections that we 
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. 
We have not been influenced by any awards given previously to 
these selections. Their placement on our all-time All-America 
Selections has been judged solely on their all-around merit as 
annual flowers that should be in every garden and deserving of 
consideration before any other annuals are considered. 
In judging for all-around merit, we have taken these factors into 
consideration: 
Blooming quality 
Length of blooming season 
Prolificness 
Substance of flowers = 
Desirability of color 
2. Growth 
a. Vigor 
b. Resistance to disease 
c. Ability to withstand transplanting 
d. Excellence of foliage
