Panoramic View of Breeding Grounds at Milpitas, California MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA Most of the important vegetables can be grown successfully on our Pacific Coast breeding ranch, wrhich is located in the Santa Clara Valley. However, special attention is given to, Carrot, Celery, Lettuce, Onion, Pole and Lima Beans. Field work is carried on throughout the year. This feature materially aids in the breeding of biennials by shortening the hazardous storage period. Block increases of progeny lines are grown here, the product of which becomes basic seed stock for field production. GREELEY, COLORADO Cucumbers, squashes, and melons thrive exceptionally well in the valleys of Colorado. Our plant breeders at the Greeley breeding grounds utilize the progeny performance method to determine the value of a selection for future stock seed purposes, since this group of species is highly cross-pollinated. The cucumber, squash, and melon fruits are harvested, and careful records are taken to determine the most desirable pedigreed lines. WENONA, ILLINOIS Our middle western sweet corn strains are bred in the heart of the corn belt, to insure adaptation to this region of the country. Isolated seed stocks of open-pollinated varieties are maintained, and hybridization work is carried on to develop uniform high-yielding Bean Breeding Farm at Filer, Idaho.
