AARS was founded in 1932 to test new, unsold cultivars and to inform gardeners about the AAS Winners. Trials are conducted each year. In 1984 the AARS Board of Directors decided to simplify the award system and award only two types. There is an AAS Gold Medal award reserved for a breeding breakthrough. Gold Medal Awards have been rare, only given once or twice a decade. The other AAS Award recognizes a flower or vegetable for significant achievements, proven to be superior to all others on the market. AAS continues as the oldest, most established international testing organization in North America.
