The development of disease-resistant varieties is an important part of the Asgrow Program. In this breeding ground on 'sick' soil the resistant strains of peas can be easily seen THE ASGROW BREEDING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Since it is concerned with the great number of varieties of different species described in this catalogue, the operations of the Program are obviously extensive. Its first objective is the maintenance of the Asgrow parent stocks. Only by continual breed- ing and selection have these pedigreed lines been built up. Unrelaxing care is exercised to ensure the standards which canners and their farmer-growers have come to expect from Asgrow seeds. Its second objective is the adaptation of these stocks to different growing areas, and to make them resistant to diseases and parasites. Since we have normally but one growing season each year this important work can only be accomplished gradually. Its third objective is the development of entirely new and improved varieties. The better con- ditions of living to which as a people we have become accustomed are enhanced in no small measure bv the increasingly higher standards, in quality and attractiveness of our foods. Some of the more recent results of this part of our program have been submitted to the critical trials of the impartial judges appointed annually since 1933 by the American Seed Trade Association and have achieved the following ASGROW ALL-AMERICA RECORD 1933 Asgrow Stringless Green Pods Bean Gold Medal Asgrow Black Valentine Bean Award of Merit Asgrow Imperator Carrot Award of Merit Clark's Special Cucumber Award of Merit 1934 Asgrow Wonder Beet Gold Medal Stowell's Evergreen Hybrid Corn Special Mention 1935 Asgrow Scarlet Dawn Tomato Gold Medal Asgrow King Pepper Special Mention 1936 Asgrow Golden Colonel Corn
