BREEDERS AND GROWERS 29 PEAS 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 frequently occurs in cultivated plants without man's skilled control. Its next duty is the develop- ment of improved strains or new varieties embodying disease resistance, yield, quality or other desired characters to meet particular needs. DAYS : The figures given in the column of days are intended only to be of assistance in comparing 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. Smooth - Seeded ALASKA, Asgrow Strain (Zsyw) The Asgrow strain—the first progeny line, pedigreed stock of this variety ever developed—is noted for its pod size and productivity. Fully resistant to Fusarium wilt. Used very extensively for first early canning. Vine slender, light green, very uniform in maturing. Pods single, blunt, light green, round, straight, contain 6-8 peas; sieve sizes 1 to 5, largely 3 and 4. Seeds small, round, smooth, bluish green: 140 per oz. Height of plant inches Length of pod inches Days 28 25/8 57 YUKON A more vigorous vined Alaska reaching canning maturity about two days later than regular Asgrow Alaska.
