INC. The Asgrow Program of Research and Breeding FOR the past century we have been engaged in the production of vegetable seed. This period of time largely coincides with the development of the canning industry, with which, as with the freezing industry in later years, we have continuously had close and friendly relations. Our work in maintaining or improving standard varieties and in the breeding of others has therefore been chiefly directed towards the needs of processors. These needs have arisen from advances in canning or freezing tech- nique, in the ever-increasing spread of plant diseases and even in the vagaries of public taste in foods. Six Asgrow breeding stations are now in operation, situated in as many different parts of the country, their locations having been determined by the needs of the species to be grown at each. The stations are charged with the following duties: (1) The maintenance of high quality parent Asgrow stocks to be multiplied annually in seed crops destined for distribution to our customers. (2) The production of new or improved types to meet special needs. (3) To cooperate with federal and state agricultural experiment stations. (4) To determine the value of new or improved strains for particular localities. (5) To render service to customers by investigating special problems or furnishing specific Part of the Asgrow Eastern Breeding Station at Orange, 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.
