Abstract
This list of recommended annual flower varieties includes information
on several hundred annual flower cultivars. The recommended varieties
were selected from flowers grown in 1985 and 1986 at the Agricultural
and Forestry Experiment Station Farm at the University of Alaska-
Fairbanks. While this is by no means a complete listing of varieties
suitable for Interior gardens, it does reflect many years of experience
in annual flower production at the AFES farm. The methods used to
evaluate the flowers and definitions for terms used in the listing can
be found under Data Collection.Introduction -- Methods: Bedding Plant Production, Field Conditions, Weather Conditions, Data Collection -- List of Recommended Annual Flower Varieties -- Photo Section -- Appendix 1.
