 0.20 inch ; color, cream white, with an extensive area about scar drab, and

Perhaps both of the above descriptions refer to the same variety, which may be 

 identical with 17339. This has buif-and-white blotched seeds, but the buff 

 quickly deepens in color to red. 



California. — A variety is mentioned under this name in Bulletin of the Ten- 

 nessee Agricultural Experiment Station (vol. 11, no. 3, 1898, p. 96) ; and in 

 Bulletin 160, Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1909. Apparently this 

 is California Blackeye, practically the only variety at present grown in Cali- 

 fornia. 



California Bird's~Eyc. — A name mentioned in Bulletin 61, Cornell University 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, 1893 (p. 335). In all probability identical 

 with California Blackeye.
