4. GROWTH AND HABIT OF PLANT. 



What has already been said shows that any grouping 

 based alone on habit of growth must be almost wholly arbi- 

 trary. The entire character of growth and fruiting is influ- 

 enced, modified and even entirely changed by early or late 

 planting, by location North or South, by soils, by rainfall 

 and other climatic conditions. 



In the list given below, varieties are grouped according 

 to their growth, when planted in May and June, on soil of 

 medium fertility, in the Northern part of the Gulf States. 



{a) Trailing. Black, Black and White, Coffee, Conch, 

 Everlasting, Large Red, Large White, Redeye, Tory, 

 Williams.
