AGRICULTURAL VARIETIES OF THE COWPBA, ETC. 



Red-Hulled White. — See citation on page 36. 



Red Iron. — A name published in the Agricultural News, Barbados. 1000 (voL 

 8, p. 173). This variety, grown in Victoria, Australia, was said to have been 

 found originally mixed with the seed of ordinary Iron. It is stated to be 

 similar to the Iron in habit, pods maturing in 115 days as against 106 for the 

 Iron. 



Red Pod. — This is very briefly described in Bulletin 40. Mississippi Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station. 1806, as having "mottled and speckled" medium- 

 sized seeds. 



Red Ripper. — See 17350. 



Red River. — Agronomic notes occur in Bulletin 100. Kansas Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station, 1000. Probably a misprint for Red Ripper. 



Red Running. — Descriptive and agronomic notes occur in the Annual Report 

 of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station for 1800 (p. 131) : 



Produces much vines but less productive of peas ; vines grow very long 

 and lie flat, remaining green long after peas have ripened ; the pods were 

 long and well filled, medium size, of dark-red color. 



Red Sport.— See 20200. 



Red Tory. — Described in Bulletin 10 (ser. 2), Louisiana Experiment Station, 

 1S02 (p. 541), as follows: 



A red pea of wonderful powers of vitality, often remaining sound in the 

 soil for many months. The matured pods on the vines which are turned 

 under in the fall, on land planted in small grain, will germinate and give a 

 good crop of peas after the grain has been harvested. Produces a large 

 amount of vines and foliage; one of the best for green manuring; remains 

 green till frost. 



Agronomic notes also occur in Bulletin 146, North Carolina Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station, 1807. 



Red Unknown. — Agronomic notes occur in Bulletin 103, South Carolina Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station, 1005, and in Bulletin 160. Kansas Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, 1000. 



Red Whippoorwill. — See 17374. 



Red Yellowhull. — Described in Bulletin 26, Georgia Experiment Station, 

 1804 (p. 182), as follows: 



Semirecumbent ; leaf and stalk medium : dark green : blossom, violet :

 tural Experiment Station, 1806; in Bulletin 46, Delaware College Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, 1000; and in Bulletin 62 (ser. 2), Louisiana Experiment 

 Station, 1000. See 20286. 



Red Yellow Pod. — This name appears with brief descriptive notes in The 

 Cowpea, published by the North Carolina State Horticultural Society, about 

 1006. It is apparently a typographical error for Red Yellowhull.

 (p. 182), as follows: 



Semirecumbent ; small, light leaf and stalk, but vigorous, making a large
