 umber in color, subreniform. about 7 by 8 mm. A little-grown 

 variety of excellent bushy habit and quite prolific, but of only 

 moderate size. It has been grown for six seasons. The following 

 lots are indistinguishable from it : 0424, from Mr. J. W. Trinkle, 

 Madison, Ind., 1906, and 17396A. No. 17398A is slightly different.

 well filled, held medium high, straw colored, often purple tinged. 

 6 inches long, the first maturing in 100 days; seeds cream buff, 

 rhomboid, about 5 by 6 mm. A vigorous grower of good habit,
