192 EXPERBIENT STATION. . [Jan. 



In Table 5 are shown the results of crossing various white- 

 flowered varieties with ]jlue Pod Butter, the one crimson- 

 flowered variety under observation. The results of these crosses 

 present several imexpected comjdications. The most striking 

 is the new and distinct blossom color designated as " waxy 

 pink." This resembles the light pink more than any of the other 

 colors, the amount of coloration being about the same, but its 

 distribution is dift'erent, being heaviest on the outer part of the 

 banner petal. It carries no suggestion of purple, and the entire 

 plant has a waxy-yellow tinge distinct from the deeper green 

 of the other plants. It will be noted that this type appears in 

 all crosses of Blue Pod Butter, given in Table 5, except those 

 with Davis Wax and Creaseback. It also appears in all 

 crosses of Blue Pod Butter with varieties having light pink 

 flowers shown in Table 7, but appears in none of the crosses 

 with pink-flowered black-seeded varieties given in Table 8. It 

 must be regarded as resulting from a cross of Blue Pod Butter 

 with some, but not all, white or light pink-flowered varieties.
