Canning and preserving; Frozen fruit; Frozen vegetables; Vegetables Preservation; Canning and preserving Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Herbs Catalogs. ACH revision of our Descriptive Catalog embodies some additions to the vegetable list, reflecting the progress that is being made by public bodies and commercial seedsmen in developing varieties and strains of higher yield and quality, increased resistance to disease, or otherwise adapted to the needs and desires of the packing industry. To this progress we are happy to think that the Asgrow program of research and breeding has contributed materially, through the work continually carried on at our breeding stations. In the present edition we invite attention to the following Asgrow items, now listed for the first time. Beans : Flight, Ranger, Tenderlong. Broccoli : a series. Sweet Corn : Calumet, Huron, Pawnee, Peoria. Cucumber : Marketer, Model, Packer, Producer. Peas : Laurel, Lolo, Resistant Early Perfection. Tomato : Jefferson. Some of these items have already proved their worth in extensive tests under commercial conditions of canning and freezing, others have been through more limited trials, but each is known to be of value for its particular purpose and is recommended accordingly. The major part of our breeding station program is less adapted to publicity, but is even more important in effects. It is the continuous work of maintaining Asgrow parent seed stocks of standard varieties at a high level of quality and without those reversions toward rougher, wild forms to which cultivated vegetables naturally tend. The results of this unobtrusive effort are seen in the crops of our customers. In laboratory work our experimentation has continued, and some of the more recent scientific discoveries have been put to practical application in our germination and other analyses ai
