NAMES APPLIED TO VARIETIES OF COWPEAS. 



47 



Blue. — Mentioned in various publications of the Louisiana Experiment Sta- 

 tion. Descriptive notes are given as follows: 



A small, blue, bunch pea. An excellent bearer and early, maturing peas 

 in from 50 to 60 days after planting. (Bulletin 27, Louisiana Experiment 

 Station, 1SS9, p. 488.) 



Blue pea, a bunch pea and small, blue colored, bears well but makes very 

 little vine; very early. (Bulletin 40, series 2, Louisiana Experiment 

 Station, 1896, p. 1459). 



The identity of this variety, which has been mentioned under this name only in 

 bulletins of the Louisiana Experiment Station, is uncertain, but it is probably 

 the New Era. The New Era is locally known as the " Blue pea," as the Groit 

 is locally known in southern Illinois. 



Blue-Black. — Agronomic and descriptive notes of this variety are given in 

 Bulletin 46, Delaware College Agricultural Experiment Station, 1900. It is said 

 to be " Late ; bluish-black seed ; vines inclined to stand up ; yield of vine, fair." 

 Perhaps the same as Watson, 17425. 



Blue Hull. — Described in Bulletin 26, Georgia Experiment Station, 1894 

 (p. ISO), as follows: 



Semirecumbent ; stalk and leaf small ; tint, a moderate green ; trails 

 slightly at end of vines; blossom — vexillum light purple, wings white; 

 form, kidney ; pod — medium in size, blue-black ; pea, large, white, wrinkled ; 

 very late; moderate producer of both vines and peas. 



The same name with descriptive notes occurs in Bulletin 40, Mississippi Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station, 1896 : " Seeds white, large ; habit, half trailing, 

 early." Bulletin 46, Delaware College Agricultural Experiment Station, 1900 

 (p. 21), has the following note: " Very late; trails; moderate yield of vine." 



Boss. — This name has been mentioned in several bulletins of the Louisiana 

 Experiment Station, together with descriptive and agronomic notes. It is there 

 stated to be identical with Unknown. 



Brabham,— See 21599. 



Breach. — This name is published in the American Agriculturist, 1876 (vol. 35, 

 p. 139), with the following description: "Purplish-brown or reddish-chocolate 

 colored, with a dark line at the eye." 



Brown and White. — This name, without description, appears in Bulletin 62, 

 series 2, Louisiana Experiment Station, 1900, page 466. 



Browneye. — The earliest publication of this name seems to be in the American 

 Agriculturist, 1876, quoted on page 36. Descriptive or agronomic notes in 

 experiment-station literature occur as follows: 



Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Annual Report for 1890 (p. 

 131) and Bulletin SO, 1903. 



Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Bulletin 34, 1895.
