Asgrow Seeds for Vegetable Growers 
Your First Step To Better Crops 
Many varieties which only a few years ago were 
regarded as satisfactory have now been far sur- 
passed through the application of modern meth- 
ods of plant breeding. 
Such methods are fully employed at the Asgrow 
breeding stations, not only to develop new varie- 
ties, but also to improve and maintain at their 
best the standard types which are in general use. 
Inthis way Asgrow seeds arebred—not just grown. 
A seed is a plant in miniature. All its inherited 
characteristics are there and the grower’s great- 
est care can do no more than develop them. 
Choose your seed with care, therefore, and re- 
member that even the very finest seed costs but 
a small part of your total outlay in raising a crop. 
Asgrow Seeds are available through local dealers 
and are products of Associated Seed Growers, 
Inc., a consolidation of three of America’s oldest 
but most progressive seed houses, all founded 
over 80 years ago and responsible for much of 
the improvement in the quality of vegetables 
that has taken place since then. Asgrow Seeds 
represent an enduring standard of quality. They 
are your first step to better crops.
