The following crosses of two light pink flowered varieties 

 gave only light pink flowered plants in the progeny.

One cross of Warren X Bnrpee Stringless gave, in F2, 6 light 

 pink, 3 pink, 13 crimson and 2 waxy pink, the Fi plants being 

 light pink. It should be said that while both of these varieties 

 are classed as light pink they are not identical in the appearance 

 of the blossom color. Only one cross of pink-flowered varieties 

 has been made, — Challenge Black Wax X Prolific Black Wax. 

 All the resulting plants have borne only pink flowers. 



In this paper we have attempted little more than setting forth 

 some of the facts concerning the inheritance of blossom color 

 that have appeared in the work of the past five years. Beyond 

 doubt the interpretation of these results is to be made through 

 an analysis of the records of the inheritance of seed-coat color. 

 It is hoped that this work may be accomplished, including 

 another season's observation, in time for presentation in the 

 next annual report of the experiment station.
