1913.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 183 



As indicated by external appearance the blossom colors of the 

 varieties under experiment fall under four types. These have 

 been designated as white, light pink, pink and crimson. In ad- 

 dition to these parental colors a new form has appeared, and 

 this has been called " waxy pink " for want of a better term. 

 All the colored types are somewhat variable, and some difficulty 

 has been occasionally experienced, especially in the early stages 

 of the work, in separating them ; but it is believed that this has 

 not been serious enough to affect the results. The blossom color 

 of the varieties used is as follows : — 



White : — • Giant Stringless. 



Creasebaek.^ Mohawk. 



Davis Wax. Warren. 



Golden-eyed Wax. AVarwick. 

 Keeney Rustless. Pink : — • 



Red Valentine. Challenge Black Wax. 



AVardwell. Currie. 



White Marrow. German Black Wax. 



Light pink : — • Prolific Black Wax. 

 Burpee Stringless. Crimson : — 



Golden Carmine. Blue Pod Butter. 



Inasmuch as the blossom color and the pigmentation of the 

 seed-coat seem to be correlated, it may be well to state here the 

 seed-coat colors of these varieties, as follows : — 



Blue Pod Butter, buf¥. 



Burpee Stringless, coffee brown. 



Challenge Black Wax, black. 



Creaseback, white. 



Currie, black. 



Davis Wax, wliite. 



German Black Wax, black.
