Editor's Notes

  • In 1932, the idea of All-America Selections for testing and evaluating new varieties of flowers and vegetables was started by Ray Hastings, a prominent seedsman who was ending his term as president of the Southern Seedsmen’s Association. He created National network of two types of trials: Flowers and Vegetables
    Standardized evaluations and scoring
    Incentives for breeders

    Independent, unbiased testing
  • 1934 AAS Winners announced by Ray Hastings
    32 Flower Winners including 6 Gold
    12 Vegetable Winners including 3 Gold

    Originally there were 3 types of AAS Awards – Bronze, Silver, and Gold. In 1984 the AAS Board of Directors, deciding the award types were too confusing, eliminated the bronze and silver awards. There are now two awards, an AAS Award and a Gold Medal AAS Award which is reserved for a breeding breakthrough.
  • Ten trial grounds for vegetables and ten for flowers were established under seedsmen in whom the seed industry had the greatest confidence. These judges already had trials for their own firms and had most cultivated varieties in commerce for comparison ratings.
  • 1952 AAS Gold Medal Winner Snap bean ‘Wade’ bred by Dr. J. H. Wade, USDA
    The 1952 AAS Gold Medal Vegetable Winners Snap Bean ‘Wade’ and Lettuce ‘Salad Bowl’ are still available in 2013.
  • During World War II, Ray Hastings was one of those called to Washington when the Victory Garden Campaign got underway. The campaign promoted the cultivation of available private and public lands, resulting in over five million gardens and foodstuff production exceeding $1.2 billion by the end of the war. Talk about the project I did last year about number of flower vs. vegetable winners.
