BREEDERS AND GROWERS 57 PEAS Pisum sativum Asgrow pea seed stocks are bred and maintained at our Western Breeding Station, located in the high, dry Rocky Mountain area where climatic conditions are excel- lently suited for the purpose. Its first duty is the maintenance of standard varieties at their best, thus avoiding that relapse to coarser, rougher forms which so fre- quently occurs in cultivated plants without man's skilled control. Its next duty is the development of improved strains or new varieties embodying disease resistance, yield, quality or other desired characters to meet particular needs. The figures given in the column of days are intended only to be of assistance in com- paring relative earliness or lateness. They have been compiled from our records of many observations, but obviously will be subject to some variance in different seasons and under widely divergent conditions of soil and climate.
