1954 All-America 
VEGETABLES 
All-America Awards are made only to vegetables that measure 
up to a rigid set of specifications as to quality and yield, at the 
required number of testing stations scattered over the United 
States, thus demonstrating wide adaptability in addition to 
quality and yield. An All-America variety is not just the ‘‘best 
of the year ’’ as is commonly believed. A vegetable must really 
possess outstanding qualities to win an All-America Award. The 
same is true in the case of roses and other flowers. 
For two successive years now, no new vegetables have measured 
up to the strict requirements of All-America Selections. Last 
year the seed trade featured the 12 most outstanding vegetables 
that had won awards during the past twenty years. This year 
the entire roster of awards to date is being presented to the 
gardeners of the nation for their information in making selections. 
We present below the list that is applicable to the area we serve.
