AGRICULTURAL VARIETIES OF THE COWPEA, ETC. 



Katikha. — A vernacular name applied to a catjang from India. 



King. — Under this name descriptive and agronomic notes have been pub- 

 lished in various bulletins of the Louisiana Experiment Station, namely, Nob. 

 22 and 27 (ser. 1), and Nos. 8, 16, 19, 29, 40, and 72 (ser. 2) ; also in Bulletin 

 40, Mississippi Agricultural Experiment Station, 1896. It is described as having 

 large black-and-white pied seeds. 



Kintohi.—See 6328. 



Kurakake.—See 6327. 



Kutolii.— See 6328. 



Ladies pea. — Under this name the following description in the Farmers' 

 Register, 1835 (vol. 2, p. 752), occurs: 



The Ladies' pea, as some call it, or the Gentleman pea, as it is called by 

 others, is the smallest I know; the most tasteless of all that I have ever 

 tried; another variety differs from that last mentioned only in size and in 

 being somewhat longer in proportion to its thickness. The only name 

 which I have ever heard given to this was " the Gentleman pea," and it is 

 well christened, if the term gentleman, according to little Harry Sanford's 

 notion, means something that is good for nothing. 



Lady.— Bee 17359. 



Lady Finger. — Advertised in the 1905 catalogue of the Amzi Godden Seed 

 Co., Birmingham, Ala. See 17388. 

 Lal-rawani. — See 21292. 



Large Black. — RufEn, Essays and Notes on Agriculture, 1855 (p. 355), de- 

 scribes this variety as follows: 



Large Black or Tory (late) pea. — This is as great a vine bearer as the 

 Buff pea, and still later in ripening. The seeds have a very thick skin 

 and will lie through winter on the ground, unrotted, and sprout in spring. 

 The pods burst open soon after ripening and scatter and waste the seeds, 

 which is the great defect of this [variety] as a manuring crop. 



Large Blackeye. — Under this name descriptive or agronomic notes have been 

 published as follows :

 (1904), and 84 (1904).
