AGRICULTURAL VARIETIES OF THE COWPEA, ETC. 



Couch. — Apparently a misprint for Conch. Under this name notes occur in 

 Circular 69, Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, 1903; and in Bulletin 

 130, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, 1904. 



Cream.— See 17693. 



Cream White.— Published in the 1896 catalogue of the N. L. Willet Seed Co., 

 Augusta, Ga., by name only. 



Crowder. — This name is properly used for any variety of the eowpea in 

 which the seeds are so closely placed in the pods as to be flattened at the ends. 

 Crowder varieties occur in nearly all of the seed colors. The name, however, 

 without any qualifying adjective, has sometimes been applied to a particular 

 variety, as in Bulletin 77, Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station (p. 31) ; 

 and in Bulletin 6, New Mexico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1892. 



Cuckold's Increase. — A name used in the West Indies for various varieties of 

 cowpeas, but perhaps mainly for varieties with white or nearly white seeds. 

 The descriptive notes of the older writers, such as Hughes (Natural History 

 of Barbados, 1750, p. 210), Lunan (Hortus Jamaicensis, 1814, p. 435). and 

 Romans (Natural History of East and West Florida, 1775), are insufficient to 

 identify the variety definitely. MacFadyen (Flora of Jamaica, 1857. vol. 1, 

 p. 288) states that the seeds of Cuckold's Increase are said to be "light- 

 reddish buff." 



Delicious. — See 17373. 



Dennis's Field. — Published as a synonym of White Table in the American 

 Agriculturist (vol. 35, 1876, p. 139). 



Dixie. — Descriptive and agronomic notes on a variety of this name are 

 published in Bulletin 46, Delaware College Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 1900. 



Downs Early Ripener. — See 17331. Identical with New Era. 



Dwarf Whippoorwill. — Agronomic and descriptive notes were published on 

 this variety in various bulletins of the Louisiana Experiment Station, especially 

 Nos. 22 and 27, 18S9. Probably same as Whippoorwill. 



Early Amber. — A variety under this name is mentioned by Prof. C. L. New- 

 man in the Orange Judd Farmer (vol. 38, 1905, p. 673). 



Early Black.— See 17336. 



Early Blackeye.—See 17335. 



Early Boolock.—See 8418.

 given in Bulletin 118, Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, 1902; and in 

 Bulletin 46, Delaware College Agricultural Experiment Station, 1900. 



Early Bulloch. — Descriptive and agronomic notes under this name are given 

 in Bulletin 46, Delaware College Agricultural Experiment Station 1900 ; and in 

 Bulletin 118, Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, 1902. 



Early Bush. — See quotation on page 36. 



Early Camden. — Identified as Conch by C. R. Ball.

 light lilac ; form, kidney ; pod, medium yellow ; pea. small, pinkish buff :
