20 " Rogueti " in Calinanj Peas 



in crossing type and rogue in 1). A. we raised in 1914 ;i family (^) con- 

 taining two plants resembling the E. G. intermediates (besides three 

 actual rogues). The offspring of these will be seen in 1915. 



The intermediates in Early Giant. 



Between the rogues having all the characters enumerated above 

 and the types there are in E. G. intermediates of several kinds. These 

 are difficult to classify, but speaking generally, we have been able to 

 recognize besides the types and the rogues a third group which have 

 the curved pods of the rogues combined with stipules and leaflets not 

 markedly different from those of the types. In such plants the develop- 

 ment of the foliar parts often though not always varies with their 

 position on the stem, the lower being the most developed and nearest 

 the type, the upper being smaller and more rogue-like. These inter- 

 mediates judged in their younger stages are not distinguishable from 

 types, and but for their curved pods might often pass unnoticed. The 

 point is not capable of exact proof, but we doubt whether the leaves 

 and flowers of these intermediates are ever quite so fully developed as 

 they are in fine typical plants. 



The marbling on these plants varies in amount roughly with the 

 extension of the parts, the most rogue-like being the least marbled. 



In addition to this comparatively definite class of intermediates, 

 plants are not uncommon, which, though in most respects typical, yet 

 show :i degree of curvature in the pods slightly greater than that of the 

 usual type, or even occasionally a pod so much curved as to be mis- 

 ■ takable for that of a rogue. Such plants have not been systematically 

 counted, and the evidence showed that they cannot be regarded as 

 genetically distinct from the types. 



On the other side of the scale, among the plants which are unmis- 

 takable rogues in all other respects there are variations in the size of 

 the parts, and occasionally one of these plants may have stipules and 

 leaves so large as to suggest that it belongs to the intermediate class. 

 In all these individuals however the pods are thoroughly curved. 



To resume : in descending series from the type the plants may be 

 classified thus :— 



(I. Types. Leaves and stipules large and not pointed. Surface 

 marbled. Pods straight. 



2. Types: as above. Pods occasionally curved, or even all slightly 

 V curved.
