360 days "rest" period, usually pink, sometimes tan, rose, wine, red or 

 variegated red and white. Moderately resistant to cercospora leaf spot. 



2. Spanish (figures 21, 22). — Plants moderately branched, consisting 

 of four or more main lateral branches arising as in Valencia. Main stem 

 and laterals usually of approximately equal lengths. Nodes of the main 

 stem above the principal laterals vegetative and reproductive; nodes of 

 laterals irregularly vegetative and reproductive, usually continuously re- 

 productive for as many as six nodes ; frequently, however, vegetative at 

 nodes 3 and 4 on the cotyledonary laterals. First two nodes of lateral 

 branches reproductive. Inflorescences unbranched. Leaves and leaflets 

 similar to Valencia though usually somewhat smaller and paler green. 

 Upper internodes 20-30 mm. in length. Stems moderate in size, usually
