Thomas Laxton: our celebrated dark-podded strain PEAS One of the most important Asgrow plant breeding stations is located at Hamilton, Montana, devoted exclusively to the maintenance or improvement of our stocks of standard varieties and to the development of new types embodying disease resistance, yield, quality or other specifications to meet the needs of the packing industry. Among the recent introductions from this station which have speedily won wide acceptance are Pride, Canner King, and Shasta; several other new varieties are listed hereunder, and some of them may prove equally successful. Since the time from planting to first picking varies widely in different seasons and in different sections, the column of days gives average results under normal rainfall conditions in the North. These figures will be of assistance in comparing the relative earliness or lateness of the various varieties when planted in any locality. Smooth seeded sorts are commonly handled on the basis of 120 lb. to the bag and wrinkled varieties 112 lb.
