not mature in 127 days ; 1907, in 136 days ; 1908, in 101 days ; 1909, 

 in 104 days. The Red Whippoorwill in a general way resembles 

 Whippoorwill, but is much later, decidedly more viny, not so 

 upright, and less prolific. The same variety was obtained from the 

 Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station through Prof. C. L. 

 Newman in 1903, and grows as 0603 and 17416. Later and taller 

 with paler foliage and less prolific are 01398 with seeds like 17374 

 and 01399 with pink marbled seeds, both from Mr. J. C. Little, 

 Louisville, Ga., 1909. 



17375. From Sumbalpur. district, Central Provinces, India, 1903, under the 



vernacular name " Jhunga." Seeds buff, oblong, 6 by 9 mm. 

 Very procumbent, the row mass 10 inches high, with prostrate 

 branches 5 feet long ; late, no pods maturing at Arlington Farm in 

 132 days before being killed by frost At Chillicothe, Tex., it was 

 of very similar habit but did not come to bloom. 



17376. Catjang. From Satara, Bombay Presidency, India. Vernacular name 



" Chauli." Low, half bushy, not at all twining, the row mass 8 to 

 12 inches high; trailing branches medium in number, 1 or 2 feet 

 long; leaflets small, dark, considerably attacked by rust, not much 

 by leaf-spot; flowers, pale violet purple; prolific; pods well filled, 

 held erect, straw colored, 3 to 4 inches long, the first maturing 

 in about 110 days ; seeds oblong, white with a buff eye, about 3 by 

 4 mm. ; iris dark brown. A remarkably distinct variety of catjang 

 that has been grown for four seasons. The small, thickish leaflets 

 are often paler along the midrib. It is not of any particular 

 promise. 



17377. Catjang mixed with 173S1 from Coimbatore, Madras, India, 1903. Seeds 



buff, oblong, 4 by 5 mm. ; plants procumbent, 18 inches high with 

 trailing branches 3 to 4 feet long; first pods maturing in 82 days 

 in 1905. Too low and viny, as well as too shy a seeder to be 

 valuable. 



17378. Catjang. From United Provinces, India, 1903, under the vernacular name 



" Bhadela." Seeds buff, oblong, variable in size, 3 to 5 by 5 to 7 

 mm. Very similar in all respects to 17375 in 1905, the only season 

 grown. 



17379. An admixture in the preceding, the seeds darker, a difference due to 



weathering. Grown in 1905, when it was not distinguishable from 

 17378. 



173S0. Mixed with 17382 from Jabalpur, Central Provinces, India, 1903. Seeds 

 reddish, oblong, 5 to 6 by 7 to 8 mm. Plants procumbent, 12 to 15 

 inches high, with trailing, slender branches 3 to 4 feet long; no 

 pods mature in 130 days in 1905 when killed by frost. Too late 

 and sprawling to be valuable. 



17381. Catjang from Coimbatore, Madras, India, 1903, under the vernacular 



name " Choli." Indistinguishable from 17377 both as to seeds and 

 plants. 



17382. From Jabalpur, Central Provinces, India, 1903, under the vernacular 



name " Barbati." Not distinguishable from 17380. 



17383. Melear. From Mr. R. T. Melear, McKenzie, Tenn., December, 1903. 



This variety closely resembles both Unknown 13468 and Clay 

 17340, being about intermediate between them, and difficult to dis- 

 tinguish excepting where the three are growing side by side.
