ALL-AMERICA SELECTIONS ANNOUNCES
FOUR ADDITIONAL WINNERS FOR 2013
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DOWNERS GROVE, IL – November 13, 2012
After the completion of the 2012 trialing season, All-America Selections (AAS) is pleased to
announce the second batch of winners for the 2013 season. As a sign of the continuing trend in
the home garden market, three of the four winners are from the vegetable category, even
though two are botanically fruits, and one is debatably a fruit . The fourth is a beautiful
geranium, a favorite in American gardens.
Each of these winners was trialed next to two or three other similar varieties that are currently
on the market. The AAS Judges grew each entry and the comparisons then did a side-by-side
analysis of growth habit, taste, disease resistance and more to determine if these were truly
better than those already available to home gardeners. Only those entries with superior garden
performance and taste are granted the honor of an AAS Award.
With this announcement, these varieties become available for immediate sale. Brokers and
growers can purchase these varieties immediately. Consumers will find this seed for sale in the
coming months as supply becomes available with catalog companies, in seed packets, from
mail order companies and various websites. AAS Winners will also be available as young plants
in lawn & garden retail stores next spring.

Geranium ‘Pinto™ Premium White to Rose’ F1
AAS 2013 Bedding Plant Award Winner
This addition to the PintoTM Premium
series is a must-have! Not only is the
flower coloration of white changing to
rose unique and beautiful but the
numerous 5” blooms are long-lasting and
slightly earlier than similar varieties. Our
judges like how full and dense the plants
are with well-branched stems sporting
leaves with beautiful dark green zone
coloration. The 2012 trials were tough
because of extreme heat but ‘Pinto
Premium White to Rose’ performed
extremely well making it a great choice
for landscapers or gardeners wanting a
carefree, colorful summer garden.

Tomato, Cherry ‘Jasper’ F1
AAS 2013 Vegetable Award Winner
Excellent taste, a long harvest window and
outstanding performance in the trials
contributes to this tomato’s success. Judges
liked the texture and sweetness of the tomato
as well as the uniformity of the fruits that grow
on vigorous, healthy plants. ‘Jasper’ is a high
yielding variety with fruits that stay on the vine
then hold well after ripening both on the vine
and post-harvest. Vigorous vines require little
or no fertilization. An added bonus is high
disease resistance to Late Blight, Fusarium
races 1, 2 and Early Blight plus the ability to
overcome weather-related stresses.

Watermelon ‘Harvest Moon’ F1
AAS 2013 Vegetable Award Winner
The first ever hybrid, triploid seedless
watermelon to win a coveted AAS
Award! Similar to the popular
heirloom variety, ‘Moon and Stars,’
‘Harvest Moon’ is an improvement in
that it features healthy, shorter vines
that produce medium-sized fruits
and sweet, crisp pinkish-red flesh.
‘Harvest Moon’ retains the familiar
dark green rind with yellow dots, but
is seedless, earlier to ripen, higher
yielding and better tasting. As one
judge said, “What’s not to like?!” This
high-value item is great for bedding
plant growers as a transplant item.
