GARDEN Tl M t
* FV1 . I . Cvirilnur
r. 1 ; . ■
For many yeara 1 have been
bringing to your attention the
current All-America flower
and vegetable selections, but
I do not believe 1 have given
you the story about how they
are made.
All - America Selections
are the results of the only
authentic Melntroductory
testing and cooperative rating
of new flower and vegetable
seed varieties for North America
-1
Sponsored by the garden seed ,
Industry of the United States )
and Canada, entries are received
from private, commercial
and puUlc institutional plant
breeders from all areas of the
free world.
AAS is a non-profit educational
Institution, self-perpeti)r
ated by the Council of Judges
who are responsible for their
trial grounds, evaluations of
merit, and for the performance
of each entry under a wide
variety of soil and climatic
conditions.
So much for the background
material, except to tell you
that gold, silver and bronze
medals are awarded based on
the evaluations made by the
Council of Judges of the AAS.
The All-America Flower
winners for 1971 are: two zinnias,
one dtanthus, one hibiscus,
one snapdragon and one hollyhock.
The two zinnia varieties,
"Peter Pan Pium" and "Peter
Pan Pink", broke all previous
All-America Selection records.
Both scored higher than
any other entries In the almost ■
40 years of judging flowers and
vegetable varieties. Both received
1971 fold medal awards.
Giving gold medals to two flowers
in one year Is quite unusual.
Id tact tbe last time this was
done was in 1935. The last zinnia
to receive a gold medal was
the variety "Thumbelina'' in
1963.
The two new varieties are
reported to be markedly superior
as they combine large flower
size with dwarf plant height.
-They are the best zinnias yet
.jfor bedding plant handling as
peat pot transplants. They are
easy to start outside and give
-'homeowners a long season of
.'line bloom. Individual flowers
.measure from 3 to 4 inches
, across and are excellent for
border planting in the land- '
scape.
"Peter Pan Plum" is a
fine lavender-rose or plum color.
"Peter Pan Pink" is coral
pink, almost a two tone, with
deeper salmon-rose at the center,
changing to lighter salmonpink
In the outer petals. Both
varieties are fully double.
We will continue next week.
Daniel Named 'County Key Banker'
A leading Warrenton banker

not far behind.
The upward thrust in the
cost of living has affected consumer
prices across the
board In every area of the
country.
An Indication of It, in Warren
County, Is the Increased amount
of money that has to be spent in
retail stores In relation to previous
outlays.
m the past year these expenditures
amounted to $3,138
per local family. This was considerably
more than the same
amount of goods would have
cost four years earlier, $1,700.
G. C. "Ous" Wallace, Clar
- treasurer of the
D.C.
The Citizens Bank.
For 26 years the NCBA has
received national recognition
for Its notable program of service
to agriculture and agribusiness
in North Carolina.
President Worley in noting this
record, thanked the 100 County
Key Bankers for their leadership.
Worley noted such projects
as the a«nuai Farm Credit Conference,
the two-week Short
Course In Modern Farming at
N. C. State University for over
100 young {arm leaders from
every section of North Carolina.
These scholarships are
provided by the hometown
banks. Another project Is the
annual land judging meet in
the interest of soil conservation.
Banks in North Carolina continue
as a ^hief source of money
for farming, Worley reported.
