THE ASGROW BREEDING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Listed on the inside page of the front cover are our Departments of Breeding where skilled plant-breeders carry on extensive and intensive work with three objectives: (1) the mainte- nance of Asgrow pedigreed parent stocks to prevent the otherwise inevitable reversion to earlier types of these highly developed strains, (2) the adaptation of these stocks to different growing conditions and the menace of disease and parasites, (3) the development of new and improved varieties. In all, upwards of 1000 acres are employed and the locations are those best adapted to secure purity of strain, vigor of growth and freedom from disease. Evidence of what the Program has accomplished in the development of new varieties and disease-resistant strains may be seen in our catalogs and in the record of the A11-America Trials sponsored in recent years by the American Seed Trade Association, where each year thus far new Asgrow varieties have achieved distinction. As further experience is gained in the technical processes of the frozen pack it is almost inevitable that special requirements in vegetables will become apparent. To meet such require- ments and other problems as they arise, the facilities of our Research Department, Greenhouses and Breeding Grounds will continually be at A 253-acre field of Asgrow pure-line Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Associated Seed Growers, Inc; Henry G.
