Asgrow Breeding Grounds at Hamilton, Montana 
By breeding pedigree stocks through generations of pure-line cultures, we are con¬ 
tinually improving existing leading varieties of jieas. This intensive process, 
supported by careful inspection and checking of field crops, produces exceptionally 
high grade stocks. In addition to maintaining standard varieties, new strains are 
developed by means of hybridization and selection, which enable us to combine 
desirable jdant characters such as disease resistance, productiveness, and quality of 
two or more parents in new and more useful introductions. 
In the number of days from planting to ])icking, we have indicated average results 
under normal rainfall conditions. These figures will be of assistance in comparing 
the relative earliness or lateness of the various varieties when planted in the 
same locality.
