336 NEW JERSEY STATE AGRICULTURAL 



was continued this year with the hope of securing a good white- 

 seeded plant and gave twelve plants with the following results 

 in seed color: "J^^^^son Wonder" type, 2; dark red, 4; light 

 red, 3 ; white, 3. 



The plants of the "Jackson Wonder-Henderson" cross were 

 an even lot as both plants are similar in general plant characters. 

 The prolificness of the "Jackson Wonder" is apparent in the 

 white-seeded strain with beans somewhat larger than those of 

 the "Henderson." 



In the "Jackson Wonder-Willow-leaf" combination, three 

 types of foliage are distinguished, the true Sieva of the "Jackson 

 Wonder," the "Willow Leaf" and an intermediate. The object 

 sought here is a more productive "Willow-leaf" plant, the nar- 

 row foliage and, therefore, open plant being a possible advantage. 

 Nineteen "Willow-leaf" plants with white seed, varying in 

 productiveness from the "Henderson" to the "Jackson Wonder," 

 were obtained. * 



The "Jackson Wonder-Wood's Prolific" was grown in two 

 separate lots, the "Runner set" being given the use of poles to 

 encourage the tendency so strongly manifest last season. Of 

 the 121 plants grown from this set, 84 had the true pole and 

 37 the bush form. The true bush plants of this cross gave 

 progeny which, though of spreading habit, showed little run- 

 ning tendency. Their bearing quality was good, the pods being 

 flat and of medium size. 



I The "Jackson Wonder-Station Bush," represented by the 

 largest number of plants (forty-two), gave a fine even lot of 

 offspring, early to medium-early, with medium-sized pods, while 

 the bearing quality was excellent. Many of the seeds resembled 

 the "Dreer" in plumpness. 



Plate XIX. shows in the upper row a set of five types of color 

 markings of "Jackson Wonder-Willow-leaf" seeds as found in 

 a set of twenty- four plants, all grown from the dark red seeds of 

 a single plant in 1906. The grandparent was a blend seed, the 

 first generation from it split up into various color types and, 

 from the progeny of a dark red set, the present one is selected 

 as a representative of the second generation from the blend. The
