Our stocks of many older varieties have been greatly improved through continual work on our breeding In the foreground of this aerial view in the Northwest are 220 acres of increase blocks of pure-lined Asgrow strains of peas. Continual breeding work is necessary, not only to develop new and improved strains but also to maintain established varie- ties, which, without constant care, tend to revert to mediocrity. This work is carried on in Asgrow Breeding Grounds both in the Northwest and in other parts of the country best suited for adaptation and other particular needs.
