BREEDING PRODUCES QUALITY 
The picture above is a view of part of our Pea Breeding 
Plots near Sacramento, California, and shows how the 
pea vines are trellised so that inspection and compari- 
sons may be easily made. The peas shown are first and 
second generation selections. 
At the right is George Babbage, the expert breeder in 
charge of this work at our Sacramento growing station. 
He is showing a new variety which we expect to offer 
next year. 
This work is typical of the endless struggle to keep 
strains true to type and improve the old ones.
