"UuUcn Kyc-Bostoii Snap" (130/3). — Although neither parent 

 is round-podded nor stringless, both are early and prolific. 

 "Golden Eye" is a fine, flat-podded wax and "Boston" has white 

 seeds. A combination of the two has resulted in a niediimi-sized 

 wax pod and the seeds are, by selection, uniformly white. 



"Jones StHngleiss-Go'lden Eye' (131/130) — Both the parAts 

 of this cross are early, prolific varieties with pods of medium sizei. 

 This union of a yellow-"eyed" variety with one with white seeds 

 has resulted in a curious and unexpected type of seed, namely, one 

 with a dark mottle, excepting at one end, which is white, and 

 which by selection seems to be quite constant. The third row in 

 Plate XIV. shows several groups of seeds of this cross. 



"Crystal-BrUtler (145/101).— The "Crystal Wax" is a 

 medium-sized, late pilant wuth peculiar light, silver-green, round, 

 curved pods with small white seeds. It is a variety of high quality, 

 but the pods are too small. The "Brittle Wax" is one of the best 

 varieties of its kind, being early, prolific and with round, string- 

 less pod of good size but lacking the pure white seed. By a com- 

 bination of the above qualities, and selecting white-seeded plants, 

 a new variety superior tO' either parent is looked for. Forty-four 

 plants of the first generation were grown, the color record being as 

 follows: AVhite, 10; black, 21 ; mottled, 10 ; brown, 3. Certain 

 plants bore fine specimens of "Crystal Wax" pods larger than the 

 parent, other plants produced a fine white wax, while many were 

 green pods. Present indications are that this is. one of the most 

 promising of all the crosses. The blend plant of this cross, al- 

 though, both parents bear white flowers, produced purple blooms, 

 and the seeds were but slightly mottled, being nearly a solid black 

 when dry. Seeds of this cross are shown in the lower row of Plate 

 XIV. 



''Crystal-Davis" (145/112). — Both parents are choice white- 

 seeded Avax varieties. The blend produced green pods with white 

 soerl:^, which gave in the next generation a fine, round, white wax 

 i)0(l. medium in size. Xo colored flowers or seeds have appeared 

 i]i aiiv generation.
